The current research project “Increasing profit from N, P and K fertiliser inputs into the evolving cropping sequences in the Western Region” is focused on the dynamics of phosphorus (P) and nutrient management in cropping systems in Western Australia.

Gustavo Boitt is focused on elucidating the mechanistic aspects of the phosphorus dynamics in natural and managed environments by using a combination of high-level spectroscopic techniques, sequential chemical fractionation, and microbial and biochemical approaches. The long-term impacts of land management on P-use efficiency and pollution risks are of primary interest.
