Trial Discussion/Summary:

There was no significant differences between treatments in this trial.

The site was a very non-responsive site to fertiliser with a good background level of all nutrients, a low PRI (19.2) and a good nitrogen level helped by the field pea crop in 2002.

Disease pressure was minimal with low levels of Septoria nodorum/Yellow spot visually identified through the growing season.

Growing season moisture was also not limiting.

Potentially a very useful trial with the aim of driving more proactive farming practices - just not the year or site to show it!
