Abstract

Take home messages
• A critical success factor for cropping systems that rely heavily on stored soil water is co-location of plant nutrients with moist soil and active roots
• Our current fertiliser management practices need refinement, with low efficiency of fertiliser recovery often associated with nutrients and water being in different parts of the soil profile
• There needs to be greater consideration of placement and timing of fertiliser applications to improve fertiliser nutrient recovery
• Declining native fertility reserves means more complex fertiliser combinations will be needed to meet crop demands
