Forbes Rainfall

• Local network inspired trial to evaluate several Loveland products when compared to local standards.

• All treatments received 80kg/ha Urea broadcast Z 30.• Treatments which included Tradecorp Zinc (14% w/w) were the 2

highest yielding treatments, suggesting the plant needed zinc• Awaken ST + Awaken saw a protein boost which would push that

treatment up to the next pay grade.• Treatment 5 with 2 applications of Urea performed poorly due to

dry conditions and a possible low uptake of nitrogen.• Maximum N Pact out performed both UAN (40 lt/ha) and Urea X2
