Solving the mystery of potassium deficiency in the south
Channel: Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)
Date: 2023-01-09

Grain growers in South Australia and Victoria are increasingly reporting underperforming crops, which could be attributed to a lack of potassium. Soil tests often show the levels are fine but are those tests accurate for the southern region? Or does there need to be a re-calibrating of the procedures used to test for potassium? A new project, with GRDC investment, is aimed at identifying potassium responsive soils and developing best practice for application of this vital, but under-recognised mineral.
