We're doing 400-450 seeds / sq m. Has been some quite challenging no-till conditions into quite a bit of trash with possible losses from Avadex and slugs, so have gone for much higher than you would in a normal situation.
Who knows what the weather holds, gone very backend very quickly

Siskin at 180 Kg/Ha with a TGW of 47 aiming for 350 seeds/m2, this is early Oct drilling. Up the rate a bit to aim for 375-400 seeds for later October drilling.
It’s still only September ( just)
plenty of time for a well established crops going into winter .
Its not long ago that we wouldn’t even think of sowing wheat until mid October, and apart from last year, never seemed to have much problem getting it in . Its been sunny with a coldish wind here. Good drying weather today though.
Climate change .
187.5, or the old 1.5cwt acre is plenty .
Ive been drilling at less than that , this early.
it’ll be like a box hedge at 250
You just want to get done to get to France .
What about taking account on tgw what makes a big difference mine is 60
And that .You just want to get done to get to France .
I suppose you could up it a bit for that, but I still wouldn’t be going at that rate in September . November maybe.
depends on seedbed as well, but up to now, nothings been mauled in .
At 50 tgw I would be at your seed rate
