For nitrogen and phosphorous, it is more likely to be through to the endof booting. For Nitrogen and Phosphorous this is further along the development curve being the startof ear emergence. To maximise growth, yield potential and utilisation of your fertilizer applications, it isessential that these key elements and a range of trace elements are available to the plant before beingrequired; during its vegetative development and early reproductive stages.Refer to pages 10 & 11 for the role that these nutrients play in a healthy and productive plant.Generalised Trend of Nutrient Uptake by Canola100908070%605040302010NPKS0Seed Development Rosette Flower Bud Visible Flowering Plot & SeedDevelopmentGrowth StagesAn indication of Canola nutrient uptake (NPK) during crop development.While this is a guide only, the trend for canola shows that more than half of the key nutrients (NPKS) aretaken up by the plant by stem elongation. Therefore to maximise growth, yield potential and utilisationof your fertilizer applications, it is essential that these key elements and a range of trace elements areavailable to the plant before peak demand, during its rosette and early stem elongation phases.Refer to pages 10 & 11 for the role that these nutrients play in a healthy & productive plant.References: Nutrient Uptake Timing by Crops. - Montana State University.
