Description
<p>In this episode of <i>Grains Convo</i>, Cindy and Janette are joined by Dr Dion Nicol to explore practical strategies for nitrogen management across the WA grainbelt.</p><p>Dion outlines how growers can approach pre-season planning and adapt in-season decisions to improve returns, with a focus on allocating nitrogen where it is most likely to deliver yield and gross margin benefits. He also emphasises the importance of continually reassessing cost–benefit as conditions change, and how timely follow-up applications can be used to respond to the season as it unfolds.</p><p></p><p><b>Episode Links:</b></p><p>Click <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.dpird.wa.gov.au/online-tools/rain-and-irrigation-calculators/rainfall-to-date-tool/" target="_blank"><b>here</b></a> to access the Rainfall to Date tool.</p><p>Click <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.dpird.wa.gov.au/online-tools/rain-and-irrigation-calculators/potential-yield-tool/" target="_blank">here</a> to access the Potential Yield tool.</p><p>Click <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.dpird.wa.gov.au/online-tools/rain-and-irrigation-calculators/soil-water-tool/" target="_blank">here</a> to access the Soil Water tool. </p>
