This webpage has links to a series of factsheets on fertiliser, amendments and testing. It includes guidance on best practice guidelines for poultry litter for pasture, compost factsheets, fertigation equipment in orchards, delivering fertiliser in irrigation water, fertiliser calculations, fertilisers and the environment, humic products, molybdenum deficiency, phosphorus nutrition for winter crops, soil solution analysis, using recycled organics and manures in grain cropping systems and why phosphorus is important. The webpage includes a series of 12 videos on this topic. They are listed below the factsheets. This webpage is written for New South Wales soils, but the principles can apply to other Australian regions. #
