Peaola
- Thread starter Clive
- Start date
sorry ! just a typo / spell check auto correct on my iPhone - ungrazed
I was worried I wasn't up with the latest no-till lingo.
Is this a money making crop? What could it be compared to gross margin wise?
well its been a money making crop the last few years, my aim is the same this year
compare it to the GM of a of a low input spring pea crop plus some osr seed with 1.5-1.8t/ac yield plus a bonus of about 300kg/ac of OSR but without the hassle of trying to cut flat peas
Yes - there are a few threads about it and previous year crops grown by me and a couple of other TFF members in here

When peas is ripe , how long do you have to wait for osr to ripe?
And how deep is it drill ?
Reglone makes them come ripe pretty much together

The peaola trial here in Norway have been emerging very slowly due to cold weather, but both crops have came up from the ground now. It looks very good, Clive, hope for our crop to look like that soon. We look forward to harvest!
We've tried some 'peatard' this year as we didn't really get on with peaola, it was too popular with the local pigeons. We harrowed, after drilling the peas, with an einbock type harrow, as slot closure wasn't that good and the birds were working along the rows, hoicking out the peas; at the same time we broadcast some old mustard seed on top. The idea was that from tiny seed the mighty mustard tree would grow and act as pea sticks for the main crop. The peas have come up a treat. Not much sign of the mustard yet
What was the drilling date? Looks good i think, lots of ground cover aswell, should lower any weed seeds germinating.

How does the peaola looking? Is the white/yellow spot on the rape leaves caused by the Centium? Here in Norway the crop is looking ok at the moment.

How look the peaola now?
friend of mine had a mix of
winter peas
triticale
peas where planed as certified seed. went into bio digester plant as due to the weather pease where germinating & in the end was not worth to clean it.
Peas where good after winter but somehow this year was not good for them. Most winter peas over here ended up in a failure.

Waded through the threads on Peaola with interest, obviously some growers have a few years of experience under their belts however as a rookie would I be advised to accompany my peas with mustard rather than SOSR, so if it goes pear shaped I have risked less from a seed input cost?

Hi John, successful with the mustard? What seed rate did you try?
