Abstract
Over eight million hectares of land in south-west Western Australia required applications of micronutrients, particularly copper, zinc and molybdenum, in order to grow profitable crops and pastures when first cleared for agricultural production. Initial fertiliser applications, particularly of copper and zinc, had very long residual effectiveness – research showed that the once-off application of copper continued to correct crop deficiencies for over 30 years.
