Improve Scepter Wheat Results When Basis Added to Fertiliser

[fa icon="calendar"] 4/01/17

In this paddock trial in South Australia, adding Basis to the grower's granular fertiliser application improved the performance of Scepter wheat during the growing season. In early September when photos were taken (below), wheat in the untreated block had drooping flag leaves and showed signs of magnesium deficiency, while wheat plants in the Basis-treated blocks had more erect leaves and no signs of nutrient deficiency.

Wheat shoots and tillers in the Basis-treated blocks were also larger and more developed.
