Spreading wheat seed.

[workin f nowt]

We pulled our combination a month ago but didn't do a proper job

Puddle the top double the crop

What’s it like for slugs? Pellet first if they are there. Otherwise seeding is a waste of time in my experience. They’ll just hollow the lot overnight.

Im thinking 2 1/2 cwt/acre or 312.5kg/ha? Is this too much/ not enough?

Scoop it out the shed and whack it on at 350

Barley into fire, wheat into mire.

Sow in a flood, reap a wood.

kg or seed/ m2

 

[DieselRob]

8 for this years slugs

You’re not wrong

 

[Nitrams]

kg or seed/ m2

Whichever is higher, kg/ha

 

[farmerm]

Before putting the spinner on throw the tractor keys in long grass…

 

[bobk]

Whichever is higher, kg/ha

I was thinking an acre

Even better

Whats with this broadcasting ? Surely everyone has followed the appropriate thread and knows that a Triton drill is the answer.
Guaranteed 10 tonne a Ha !

Saying here is sow into dust your bins will bust,sow into mud and your crop will be a dud

Do your r t parasites let treated wheat seed to be left broadcast onto soil surface???

 

[Barleymow]

often find less seed behind spreader than a drill in my experience, lifting a drill always leaves uncovered seed.

Yes C6 at 10.3 kmh gives me about 60 kg an acre on 12 metre centres. We make quite a reasonable seedbed though. A Discordan makes nice lines and then it’s pressed in with a double press. It’s not a fire brigade job. If it’s a last resort you’d be better upping the seed rate.

Thanks. Can do a bit of trial and error next year, all seeded up alough more bare patches appearing

As long as harrow in that's usually true.

Product label some prohibit broadcasting some don't.

Covering seed a requirement of all.

But used untreated seeded anyhow.

Do some in good conditions. Broadcasting has a bad rep because it’s usually done as a last resort. Make a good seedbed and work it in well and it gives very even coverage. However it’s no less work than drilling then.

The drill trail of a few years ago proves that point
