Nutrition and Plant Health

Our 2020 trials investigating phosphate nutrition and biostimulant products

2020 Nutrition Trials

Our trial work this season is investigating the following:

1. Comparing different approaches to phosphate nutrition

  • Treatment with a bacterium that promotes root growth and health
  • Supplying a product that stimulates soil microbes
  • Foliar applied phosphate fertiliser
  • Soil applied phosphate fertiliser

2. Effect of biostimulants on plant health, biomass accumulation and final yield

Four different products are being tested:

  • Two products are amino acid based
  • One product is based on seaweed and other plant extracts
  • One product is a phosphite.

Follow Fieldwise Live through the season for further site information and results.
