    Key Messages

    • Good early nitrogen nutrition remains a key driver of yield in Mallee soils and penalties can occur with delays in applications to first node.
    • Previously observed benefits of improved N use efficiency where Zn is supplied with the N were not captured in the 2017 season.
    • Wheat fertilised with DAP placed with seed yielded 0.5 t/ha (20%) less than wheat with DAP placed below seed in 2017 at Loxton but had no effect at Karoonda.
    • Using 50 kg DAP/ha with the seed and 35 kg Urea/ha deep was better than 50 kg DAP/ha and 35 kg Urea/ha all below the seed on sand at Loxton.
