Applying #phosphorous (P) fertiliser to high P fixing soils will result in it being locked up and converted into forms that plants can’t easily absorb.
It means plants can’t get the nutrient they need, reducing yields by up to 50%, and lowering the return on your fertiliser investment.
A new 4-year GRDC project, led by @VicGovAg, brings together grower groups, advisers and university researchers from SA, Vic and WA to strengthen confidence in P management in these soil types.

🚜🌱 WA Growers – we want to hear from you. The 2026 Grain Legume Grower Survey is now OPEN.
GGA is inviting Western Australian growers to share their experiences, insights and perspectives on the use of grain legumes in crop rotations, what’s working, what’s changing, and where are the gaps.
Since 2022, GGA has partnered with 15 grower groups across Western Australia through a GRDC-investment into grain legumes which investigates local barriers limiting adoption. GGA is now interested in understanding whether grower confidence in grain legume production has improved over this time.
Your input will help guide future GRDC investments into grain legume RD&E in WA.
