  • GRDC Code: UOQ2303-005RTX
    Quantifying fertiliser phosphorus use efficiency in Vertosols across the Northern Region
    Understanding the fate of shallow or deep applied fertiliser P in Northern cropping systems is critical to inform grain growers on how much of their fertiliser P investment is actually "feeding the crop" and return on investment over time. …
