Summary
This project aims to understand improved early crop vigour from on or near row sowing. Two trials will demonstrate yield benefits from on or near row sowing of previous crop stubble lines under different phosphorus management programs. On-farm paddock trials (8) will demonstrate variation in soil type within paddocks across Yorke Peninsula; a general survey was undertaken of soil conditions in 2022 on-row sowing vs interrow sowing across YP (50 paddocks x 2 production zones).
