P SCHOOL - BACK BY DEMAND

P SCHOOL

With such a positive response to P SCHOOL held in Horsham during mid 2014, the request to take the event to key production areas in South Australia has been heard.

Super, MAP, APP, Phos Acid, Guano, plenty to choose from, which one for me? Biology, how does that help? How can I make better phosphorus decisions?

Plants absorb the majority of their phosphorus from the soil solution as orthophosphate regardless of the original form of phosphorus applied or existing in soil. 

What form is recommended for your soils, how do you make good decisions about phosphorus and what are the differences? Just some of the key messages at P SCHOOL. 

Registration is open for IPM MasterClass P SCHOOL.
Wednesday 19th November 2014 - Naracoorte
Thursday 5th February 2015 - Clare
April 2015 - Adelaide Hills

Four key topic will be covered:
Dr. Sean Mason - Soils and Phosphorus – what is really going on?- Availability, uptake and soil utilization, what does testing tell me?

Plant uptake and utilisation, how much is needed, and what does it do?
Dr. Ashlea Doolette - Biology and soil health – does it work?
