What rate would you DD spring oats at, does lowering the rate help to stop them going flat
Never grown oat before but was thinking of sowing at 180kg/ha but will pull the seed rate back a bitlast year 115kg/ha DD. suffered a bit with gout or frit fly. thought they were too thin, but didnt fall over and filled out well.
drilled some today at 140kg/ha. slots not closing very well and lots of rooks about. will try and roll tomorrow
+1, too higher seed rate = very poor bushel, we are dd sowing today at 135kg/Ha on medium soil, not the prettiest seedbed as baked out on top and a bit too damp underneath, but it’s dry overhead and warm so needs to go in, it will be rolled steadily when ready, probably Monday, then for some gentle rain later in the week to settle it in.180kg/ha last year, looked good but 48 bushel, so maybe to thick
How much N do you normally put on spring oats? First time growing spring oats here instead of winter oats. Had contractor dd them at 170kg/ha few days ago into fairly heavy groundOh, growth reg and not too much N help stop them going flat, they really scavenge the ground so don’t overdo it
Hope you did not use Kerb on you OSR ? Oats wont like it !First time for me.
DD, average 150kg/ha.
Using vari rate seed so hopefully will end up about right population.
My unknown is the failed osr had it's bit of n in the autumn.
Wonder how much is there now.
We put 100kg/N/Ha, third in the seedbed two thirds when you can see the tramlinesHow much N do you normally put on spring oats? First time growing spring oats here instead of winter oats. Had contractor dd them at 170kg/ha few days ago into fairly heavy ground
