SAGIT Podcast #6 - Faba bean nutrients - Adam Hancock
Description
Faba beans are one of the most commonly planted crops in the South East region of South Australia. However, there are many competing thoughts on what nutrients and fertilisers should be applied to deliver the highest yields.
In this podcast episode, Adam Hancock from Elders talks about his SAGIT funded research designed to quantify nutrient and fertiliser responses, particularly of the less commonly applied nutrients, as well as the validation of tissue testing results.
