Shownotes
In episode five of the South-West WA Drought Hub's Dry Season Resources podcast series Host Shannon Beattie and CSBP senior agronomist James Easton discuss considerations for growers when it comes to nitrogen bank and the possibility of retained nutrition after a low crop year.
James discusses a range of considerations, highlighting the need to soil test to know your N bank balance after a dry year; and some interesting trial results from Mullewa in 2023 where banded N up front was a clear winner, even in a dry year.
He explores the different options growers can take to offset nitrogen investment from one year to the next, and reiterates that it all comes down to understanding your soils.
