  NGN - Phosphorus Response Curves for Pulses in the Esperance and Albany Port Zones

  Growers and advisors have told GRDC that their pulse nutrition management is currently based on cereal response curves rather than known pulse information. Research conducted in Chile in 2014, found that there was a correlation between wheat and…
