Sassy should usually be around 400 seeds, assuming germ in the mid 90's. 20 seeds less if conditions are fab, 20 more if they're poor.
So you're saying that regardless of time of sowing, ground condition, variety, tgw or germ, everything should be sown at 200kg/ha?
Also meant to say @4course, I think the reason Vibrance Duo may not be labelled for seed barley crops is because it doesn't give full control of loose smut. It would need to be doubled up with something else. I could be wrong though...
Agreed. My reply was specifically directed at someone else's post.
Aaaaaaaaanyway, over yeared winter seed is a good thing for me. I like to sow Scottish produced seed to support my local merchants (not that I have anything against Englandistan btw) and for winter seed, especially wheat, it...
Of course I know spring barley is stored until spring Chae. The point I was making is that it is ridiculous to suggest that the majority of winter seed (which this thread is about) is deliberately stored for a year, then fraudulently sold as new crop seed the following year.
That's a ridiculous suggestion. You really believe that most seed harvested this year will be tucked away in sheds until it next year? Storage capacity, storage cost, cash flow, risk, etc. A merchant has precious little to gain. Aside from which, there's the fact that certified seed...
Difficult to say because I think it's a long term strategy with 'payback' taking time. Hearing the way some people talk about them they view them as a box ticking exercise and go for the cheapest product possible. I try to view them as another type of input and select the product according to...
As above, only on later drilled wheat where there's a noticeable improvement in speed of establishment. Some years this is more important than others, depending on how crap the weather is. I don't think it's necessary on early sown crops or where the weather is balmy.
Who has moved to 8%? Presumably a reaction to expected skinning levels this year. Are the buggers taking claims from a lower level?
Hopefully your later cut Laureate will have lower skinnings. Seems to be worse with early cut, not too bad for a while, then bad again with anything cut late. Good...
Different barley varieties can have different steep cycles and germination periods for malting. If you tried to malt a blend there is a very high chance the malt would contain a high % of over/under malted barley.
