Testing soils for plant nutrient contents has long been a controversial topic in the research literature. Because of its widespread deficiency and finite natural resource, phosphorus (P) is possibly the most researched plant nutrient, but the most accurate method of assessment for predicting P deficiency and fertilizer requirement remains unclear. The studies reported in the above special issue of Crop and Pasture Science, entitled ‘Making better fertiliser decisions for cropping systems in Australia’, are an attempt to collate and interpret all the relevant research data in Australia to achieve this purpose. Having published several research papers on soil P testing, which impinge on the current studies, I would like to make the following ...
