[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 991994, member: 2119"] I'll have another proper look at the tillers and GAI and then maybe reassess. But roughly speaking you can't see the soil in the winter barley. It's like a grass field due to tillering, not high seed rate, but looks a bit yellow from a distance. It is a malting variety but is grown for feed as we normally get good yields with it. The OSR I would say is 75 to 100% ground covered but due to too many small plants rather than large leaf area of fewer larger plants. If I delay N until these plants bolt, will I lose yield? Will some die out altogether? I don't want to end up with the massive dense canopy we seem to end up with every year. We get good yields but could do better I think. [/QUOTE]
