Superphosphate Use Shifts Australian Wheat Fertiliser Trends
Commonwealth Year-Book notes a 250 percent rise in fertiliser imports over ten years with most superphosphate sourced from the United Kingdom. Japan and Germany also contributed, while Sweden Belgium and the Netherlands supplied the remainder. Fertiliser manufacture expanded to 78 firms across states, and more land began to be manured. Victoria saw farmer numbers rise from 11,439 in 1901-2 to 27,845 in 1910-11, with acreage climbing to 2,714,854 in 1910-11. The shift boosted yields and transformed many struggling farmers into landowners as fertility improved.
