A variety of crops are grown in Western Australia, including cereals for grain, fruit, grapes and vegetables. Soils in Western Australia are acutely deficient in phosphate and regular applications of phosphatic fertiliser are required for crop and pasture growth. Many soils, particularly sandy soils, are also deficient in trace elements. The use of fertilisers is therefore a significant factor in the state's farming activity.
