Fertiliser recommendations ready for sowing this
Broadacre season
Nitrogen and Sulphur update
With much of NSW and Northern Victoria recently affected by heavy rain and
floods, growers and advisors need to pay special attention to nitrogen and
sulphur levels in cropping soils this season. Leaching and denitrification will
potentially be issues again in 2012, as was the case following heavy summer
rain in some cropping areas in 2011.
Growers and advisors in affected areas are urged to conduct deep N and S
testing BEFORE sowing this season to determine nitrogen and sulphur
requirements.
Making ‘recommendations’ using Nutrient Advantage Advice (NAA)
Depending upon sample results, recommendations in 2012 may need to take
into account higher rates of nitrogen at sowing as well as the need for risk
management and seed safety at this time with cereals and canola. Increasing
the row spacing and/or changing to a disc or narrow point can have a major
impact on the maximum N fertiliser rate that can be applied with seed. NAA is
a great tool for accredited users to create recommendations for the upcoming
sowing season especially to manage maximum N fertiliser rates at sowing by
automatically taking into account row spacing and crop type to limit the N
being applied with the seed to help avoid possibility of ‘seed burn’ for min till
or direct drilled situations. However at this stage, recommendations for disk
seeders are not catered for.
Recent improvements to NAA Version II also allow for each recommendation
to be personalized with the On the Go – Personal Comments Creation Tool.
This tool means your ‘favourite’ comment can be saved and standard
comments can be formatted, especially in relation to ‘risk management’ and
‘critical comments’ such as fertiliser placement in relation to seed.
Nutrient Advantage Advice Recommendations Function
The NAA “Recommendation” screen is only accessible by an L3
Advisor. The advisor has the ability to create personalised
fertiliser recommendations based on crop nutrient requirements
and production targets.
The recommendation defaults to a Version 1 auto generated
system recommendation. The Advisor then has the ability to
create, edit, update and save the recommendations.
In making changes to a recommendation, an L3 Advisor can
change the Expected Yield or row spacing information in the “Enterprise
Details” TAB related to crop management decisions.
Then click over to the Recommendations TAB and press Rerun Rec
If changes have been made to the sample and/or Enterprise details, the
system will then create a new recommendation. Note the Nitrogen levels will
automatically change with row spacing and crop type for Cereals (Wheat,
Barley and Triticale) and Canola
Then go to the Comments TAB
Add in or create a recommendation comment. Read our Tips and
Suggestions article on Personalising recommendations reports.
Press SAVE and a new recommendation version number will be created
Click Print Rec to print recommendation report. The comments will then
appear on the Recommendation Report for that Version

Post Planting N Testing
If deep N testing has not been done pre planting there is potential to do it incrop. Ensure to take samples in the inter-row area to avoid contamination with
any residual nitrogen from the starter fertilisers. When it comes to timing, the
earlier the better is best for any nitrogen testing, as this will allow adequate
time to plan a low risk, maximum benefit strategy.
When assessing nitrogen requirements this season, break the paddocks down
in to three groups, those that need nitrogen early, those that might need
nitrogen and those that don’t need nitrogen unless the 2012 season is one out
of the box.

The paddocks where current soil nitrogen levels are adequate for average
target yields can be marked for reassessment at a later date. Remember that
if the season is good, nitrogen can be applied as late as flowering in cereals
and pre-flowering in canola.
In those low nitrogen paddocks that need the high rates of nitrogen, do the
nitrogen budgets at 11-12% protein and apply some of that nitrogen early to
ensure nitrogen deficiency does not reduce yield.
Be ruthless with these paddocks, especially if they have low soil organic
carbon levels and/or soils with poor water holding capacity as they may not be
worth spending limited funds on in an attempt achieve an unrealistic yield.
For those paddocks in the ‘mid-range’ of nitrogen levels, monitor and apply
budgeted-for nitrogen at a later growth stage. If the season is good any low
nitrogen paddocks with potential can be ‘topped up’ at the same time.
Lastly, for high nitrogen paddocks leave them alone, as any extra nitrogen
applied may be wasted.
In 2012, aim to maximise returns where nitrogen is deficient, don’t allow those
paddocks to suffer for too long as yields will be affected.
Look to do some tissue testing as well as there is no point in putting nitrogen
on crops that may be deficient in phosphorus, sulphur, zinc or potassium.
Sulphur in particular may be an issue in canola.
Take home messages
•

•
Keep an eye on nitrogen levels through deep N soil testing and tissue
testing!
Only apply nitrogen where there is good yield potential. Target 11-12%
protein in nitrogen budgeting to gauge whether it is worth putting on
extra nitrogen.
Keep an eye on other nutrients, particularly sulphur in canola.

Nutrient Advantage - Big on Quality
At Nutrient Advantage we put a big emphasis on quality assurance. We are
regularly audited by independent bodies such as National Association of Testing
Authorities (NATA) against standards such as ISO/IEC 17025. This is national and
international recognition of technical competence and that our laboratory consistently
adheres to the highest standards at every stage of testing.
Along with our NATA Accreditation we also hold Australian Soil and Plant Analysis
Council (ASPAC) Certification for a large range of nutrition tests conducted at
Nutrient Advantage through our participation in ASPAC proficiency studies.
But quality assurance doesn’t stop there. Our
decision support platform Nutrient Advantage
Advice (NAA) is a Fertcare Accredited System.
Fertcare is the national training and accreditation
program of the Fertiliser Federation of Australia
(FIFA). The Fertcare Accredited Adviser
Program independently assesses the
competence of advisers and decision support
systems to make nutrient recommendations
against nationally endorsed competencies set by
ASPAC.
Fertcare accreditation gives farmers and other
stakeholders’ confidence in the accuracy of
fertiliser recommendations made by Fertcare
Accredited Advisers and accredited systems.
A key component of maintaining Fertcare Systems
Accreditation is auditing of all Advisors who use Nutrient
Advantage Advice.
The NAA process will have minimal impact and disruption
on Advisors’ time due to the ability to utilise information
centrally backed up in the NAA database.
All L3 Advisors will be audited and will be given plenty of
notice when they are scheduled for an audit to occur.
Audits will be conducted once every 2 years.
Fertcare Accredited Advisors are audited by an external auditor
while non-accredited Advisors are audited internally by the NA
team.
The NAA auditing process will be managed by Jack Rohde and
Jillian Maas, both of whom have extensive experience in Quality
Systems and have been heavily involved in NA auditing and
Analysis Systems Accreditation programmes in the past.

Nutrient Advantage Advice Training in 2012
Following the successful introduction of the travelling classroom back in 2011,
Incitec Pivot’s Nutrient Advantage Team has once again provided a new
approach to offering Nutrient Advantage Advice training. To showcase new
functionality improvements found in the Version II release of Nutrient
Advantage Advice in January, the Nutrient Advantage Training Centre
conducted various web training sessions.
These sessions known as “Webinars” included topics
such as Using NAA EasyRec and On the Go- Comments
Tool, Using NAA My Sample and My Product tools and
more recently NAA working demonstration - Deep Soil
Nitrogen
The Webinars proved to be quite popular with over 150
users logging on for the sessions so far.
Using this new technology as well as capitalising on the Travelling Classroom
success, the NA team aims to provide multiple training options for NAA users
this year.
A number of Webinars have been scheduled to cover all seasonal topics.
NAA Version II Sessions for Queensland Sugarcane and Horticulture are
coming up in April where updated agronomic charts (including potatoes,
fruiting vegetables, cucurbits, brassica, tropical fruit, banana and macadamia
nuts) plus sugar cane will also be discussed.
Another way of viewing the Nutrient Advantage Advice additions and
enhancements is to take a Virtual Tour or Online Instruction Guide located on
the Incitec Pivot Fertilisers website.

Delivering more than soil testing
Phil Hoult, Nutrient Advantage Business Manager, said Nutrient Advantage
delivers a complete system when it comes to plant nutrition.
“Nutrient Advantage is much more than just analysing soil tests through our
laboratory.”
“It is a powerful management tool that delivers the knowledge and insights in
soil and plant nutrition to help improve productivity and reduce any potential
financial and enviromental risks.”
For more information contact Nutrient Advantage on 1800 803 453
or Email: na.trainingcentre@incitecpivot.com.au
Precision Nutrition starts with accurate soil data
Grain growers can maximise the benefits of
precision nutrition by first determining the
constraints limiting crop yield and growth before
adopting the latest techniques.
Sam Trengove from Trengove Consulting, based
in SA’s Yorke Peninsula and Mid North region,
says data used to identify constraints include
using previous crops’ yield data, soil test results,
EM38 data or imagery of crop growth.
EM38 data provides information on the apparent
electrical conductivity of soils.
Soil characteristics that influence EM38 include soil texture, moisture and
salinity levels. This information is gathered from a sensor towed behind a
vehicle as it travels over the paddock.
“Constraints may vary across paddocks. Growers should identify different
production zones by using different data layers,” Sam said.
Along with yield and EM38 data, he advised growers to ‘ground truth’ - which
involves soil and leaf testing.
“Where there are different yielding areas in a paddock, it is important to make
sure first that nutrition is not limiting yield in those areas,” he said.
“Identify if there is a constraint that can be fixed, such as a zone of low pH or
sodic soils, which can be addressed with an application of lime or gypsum.
“In a lot of cases, we find that the difference in production between zones is
related to stored soil moisture and the water-holding capacity of the soil,
which typically can’t be altered by human intervention.
“Recognising what’s behind the lower yield of poorer performing zones means
you’re not throwing good money after bad.”
Sam recommended that growers utilise the data gathered to identify where
they could achieve the best return on their fertiliser investment and apply it
appropriately.
“Growers could have been applying too little fertiliser in some areas because
those zones were already producing good yields, but with higher fertiliser
inputs there may be potential for even higher yields.
“Alternatively, the data could show some areas where fertiliser has been
overused because the soil constraints always restrict yield potential below the
paddock average and therefore limit any responses to additional fertiliser.”
Sam said precision nutrition was not about necessarily using more or less
fertiliser, but distributing the fertiliser where it would generate the greatest
response in grain yield.
Phil Hoult, Business Manager for Nutrient Advantage, Incitec Pivot Fertilisers’
soil testing laboratory, said deciding correct rates of application and products
when applying precision nutrition should be based on an understanding of soil
nutrient levels.
“Growers need to understand their soil nutrient levels to accurately feed
crops. Precision nutrition depends on regular, reliable information from soil
tests to make accurate decisions,” Phil said.

Personalising Recommendation Reports for your
Customer
At Nutrient Advantage we are constantly looking for improvements. One of
the main topics of feedback we received from customers regarding the
previous Nutrient Advantage Advice platform was the inability to make
formatting changes to recommendation comments.
This led to the introduction of one of our key functionality improvements
recently released in the Nutrient Advantage Advice Version II in January. We
designed the “On the Go – Personal Comments Creation Tool” to increase the
‘user friendly” nature of NAA for advisors and agronomists.
This tool allows you to “format” fertiliser
recommendation comments by reviewing,
and personalising standards NAA
comments or creating new customised
comments. Advisors now have the ability
to save a favourite comment and make
changes to the fonts, font size, font style
such as bold or italics and even font colour.
We give you the basic framework of the
Nutrient Recommendation report from
which you can add a company logo or
customise comments to make your
recommendation report unique.
On the Go – Personal Comments Creation Tool
Only L3 accredited users can view the comments related to that
recommendation, change the sequence of the comments, and add or remove
comments
The Advisor now has the ability to save a comment when creating a
recommendation. These comments can now be formatted before saving into
the reports. Key comments can be emphasized by applying different Fonts,
bold, italics, underlining and font colours to enhance the customer report. A
Cut and Paste function also lets the User import comments from other word
files and save them for recall at a later stage.
To Save Comment during the recommendation process Navigate to the
Comments tab as displayed below:
Type a comment in Recommendation Comment field. Click Font button to
select font name and size.
Click Colour button to select font colour and click OK
Click Save Comment for future access and a Comment Maintenance screen
will appear
Enter a Comment Code, Comment Description and Comment Text
Click Save
Press OK
To add saved comments during recommendation process:
Click Add Comments button to add more comments. The following screen will
be displayed: Through this screen, existing comments can be added
To enter a customized comment just created tick the custom “Comment Type”
only and select Search and I list of Comments created by you will appear.
Highlight the desired comment and Press select
The selected comment will populate in the comments grid in the Sample
Comments screen
To search for Standard NAA Comments tick the Standard button in the
Comment Type field, Enter search Criteria or click Search. All comments will
be displayed in the List of Comments
Highlight the required comment and click Select. The selected comment will
