30 kgN in the autumn is the max allowable. I thought that could be from muck and then the balance from bagged.
Yes, a better answer

I don’t think mine knows which way is up.....

would you fert at this stage. Lots like that with some up
Max depth probably an inch, ground is hard after the rain.... il put the fert on it’s cheap enoughWhen that emerges it needs N in the soil solution around the seed to assist good autumn development and grow away from slugs/flea beetle/pigeons. It’s still some investment you may have to write off if you lose the crop but not giving it some help makes it more likely to fail. Not an easy one to judge.
How deep is that seed?
Turnip sawfly larvae are attacking my stubble turnips this year . Never had a problem before. Quite widespread around here.

Some patches struggling after spring barley, the last I drilled, lots of slugs and flea beetle about now. My plan of keeping things as cheap as possible to mitigate risk may be sensible. If any bits aren’t decent by kerb timing then we will just spray them off and plant spring oats so keeping the blocks all first wheat.
The cost losses will be a dose of pellets ÂŁ8/ha, gramincide ÂŁ5ha and 30kg of N ÂŁ14ish. Everything else would have been done anyway, the drilling of the companion/cover crop and rolling of it.
not the end of the world if we do have to do this. No way would I be growing rape with expensive hybrid seed and high cost establishment.
on the whole pretty happy with how things look though.
I’ve planted about 300ha and currently think maybe 20-30 of the latest drilled can go spring oats. On the whole it’s good.It doesn’t sound much but soon bloody adds up if on big scale, let’s hope the stuff that makes it is worth a bit of money.
Personally, if it's away, I wouldn't.I’ve got to run through my rape to take out wheat volunteers soon, do I chuck an insecticide in? Some damage on every leaf, I think it’s away from them but you can find adults if you look......?
Don’t want to do more harm than good
thats the plan here crop seems to be away but it doesnt mean our guard will be dropped a tad concerned as to other neighbouring stubbles and yet to emerge crops in the locality and the prevailing wind directionPersonally, if it's away, I wouldn't.
Fairly happy with mine, and even happier that there is little damage on the volunteer rape. A little nervous about the contract HEAR OSR it's had 2 doses of slug pellets and I insecticide.thats the plan here crop seems to be away but it doesnt mean our guard will be dropped a tad concerned as to other neighbouring stubbles and yet to emerge crops in the locality and the prevailing wind direction
If plenty of shotholing and you don’t apply an insecticide will this not make larvae problems worse later on?.
I realise you can go back later for larvae which are slightly more vulnerable if correctly timed.
Can anybody advise?.
