Identifying and managing potassium deficiency on Lower Eyre Peninsula (SAR4926)

START

July 1, 2026

FINISH

June 30, 2029

Summary

Farmers on lower Eyre Peninsula (LEP) are starting to experience potassium deficiency, with a recent trial demonstrating potential large yield responses. This project will examine a range of PA tools and historical methods to help define where potassium is an issue, which soil types, how to detect it and possible responses across two different locations on LEP. This project is a co-investment, with GRDC providing 50% of the total funding.
