Nitrogen inhibitors and responsive fertiliser programs: Demonstration Trial Walk in Dean

13 February @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Join PotatoLink for a field walk at the PotatoLink Victorian demonstration site, where they are exploring ways to optimise fertiliser practices for potato crops. The demonstration is focused on:

  • Evaluate the impact of using Nitrogen Inhibitor base fertilisers at different rates on potato crop yield (marketable tuber weight), quality (size distribution, defects and specific gravity), and gross margins.
  • Compare a crop sampling-based responsive fertiliser program with a conventional fertiliser program to determine their effectiveness in optimising fertiliser use and profitability over a single growing season

During the field walk, you will hear about the strategies employed, view and discuss the crop sampling results to date and understand how these results are shaping the fertiliser program, and its impact on productivity.
