SAGIT Podcast #9 – Crop nutrition – Sean Mason
Description
Recent research on Yorke Peninsula has shown significant yield gains for cereals and lentils if you sow within a centimetre of last year’s row.
In this podcast episode, Dr Sean Mason from Agronomy Solutions, talks about various projects he has been involved with, including an ongoing project with Sam Holmes on the Yorke Peninsula looking at inter-row cropping.
One project with Glenn McDonald looked at time of sowing and the influence on phosphorus requirements, and another collaboration with Liz Farquharson looked at optimising P nutrition in pulses to maximise nitrogen fixation.

On average, SAGIT invests $2 million a year in supporting research crucial to advancing South Australia’s $4.6 billion grain industry.
These projects deliver real improvements in countless areas of grain growing, farming systems, soil management, harvesting, storage, processing and marketing, and they also provide technical information to growers.
