Response of Potassium Uptake via Co-placement with Phosphorous and Soil Amelioration with Gypsum - Dataset

Abstract

This dataset forms the basis for the thesis project 'Response of Potassium Uptake via Co-placement with Phosphorous and Soil Amelioration with Gypsum'. Soil samples were taken in 2019 from the trial sites around Croppa Creek, New South Wales, Australia. Soil test data was collected, and a glasshouse trial was conducted at the University of New England using soil from these sites. A field trial was carried out at one of the sites. Measurements taken from the glasshouse and field trials include nutrient levels and agronomic notes. Additional measurements were performed at the glasshouse trial, and these were root and shoot biomass as well as vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizae levels. Grain weights for yield response were collected at the field trail site. Statistical analyses were performed to highlight any trends and significant correlations between fertiliser input and crop response.
