Key crop nutrient management issues in the Western Australia grains industry: a review by Chen, W., Bell, R.W., Brennan, R.F., Bowden, J.W., Dobermann, A., Rengel, Z., Porter, W.

“…The review also suggests the need to evaluate new fertiliser products and site-specific N management concepts and develop N management practices for waterlogging-prone soils for improved N use efficiency in cereal production systems in WA. The negative balance of magnesium (Mg) observed in WA cropping systems, together with the information reviewed on factors affecting soil Mg content and crop response to Mg application across Australia, suggests that there is a need to evaluate the risk and impact of Mg deficiency on acidic sandy soils of WA.…”
