Potato growers across Australia could soon be provided a formula that tells them the perfect level of phosphorous needed for best yields and healthier soil.

The Diffuse Gradient in Thin-films (DGT) test, developed by the University of Adelaide, has already been successfully applied in wheat, canola, barley and pea industries.
