    Hi, Can someone tell me what the maximum amount of N is allowed on milling wheat in an NVZ? We have pushed our wheats this year and have quality but not yield because of lack of sunshine.

    AB15... help please

    I recommend that you glyphosate then once the legumes have died back try running the drill through without any seed.

    Catch Crop

    How late can we sow a catch crop before Winter wheat is sown ? Late harvest prevented us from being able to establish earlier but want to do something to rectify damaged soil after last years wet drilling conditions.

    Failed Oilseed rape Crops?

    Some years ago our agronomist at the time noticed that a particular field of Oilseed rape looked very poor and suggested that Brassica Cyst Nematode could be the problem. Soil was tested and numbers were high so we didn't grow Osr in that particular field for about 12 years after sampling the...
