GRDC Grains Research Update, online – Nutritional decision making for 2022 – NNSW & Qld

The program from the February/March 2022 GRDC Grains Research Updates has moved online. While we and many participants lament not being able to run these events face to face, this is a fantastic opportunity for you to cherry pick  topics of interest to you not only from your area, but from the broader northern region.

Topics for this webinar:

• Farming system nutrient legacies – impacts on N inputs, cycling and  recovery of applied fertilisers (6 years of experiments). (Lindsay Bell, CSIRO & Jon Baird, NSW DPI)
• Nitrogen movement, use efficiency and timing of fertiliser application; how much fertiliser are 2022 crops likely to see and utilise? (Richard Daniel, NGA)
• Optimising rate and timing of N not already applied across crop types. (James Hagan, DAF Qld)
• Deep P and K – a call to action! Critical soil indicators, costs and benefits of deep P & K and   timing. (Mike Bell, UQ & Michael Ledingham, Grower, Moree)
• Panel discussion on N issues and strategies for 2022 after big offtakes in 2021 and high fertiliser prices: How much soil N is there and what are soil tests telling us? Is there inconsistency between N legacy expectation and reality? Issues with crop access to N applied to vertosols late in northern dryland fallows. Discussion of situations and scenarios that growers and agronomists are facing in March 2022. (Chair: Chris Dowling, BackPaddock Co)
