Fertiliser was applied to most crops, with rates generally falling after the 2006 drought (Table 24). In total, Till crops received more fertiliser phosphorus and less fertiliser nitrogen, especially once years without crop were accounted for (Table 25). Reasonable amounts of sulphur were also applied, particularly at Donald and in the northwestern No Till paddocks.
