Grew a field of 4.25t/ha on extrovert last year with no autumn fungicide, the other field got some proline and yielded 3.75, yield not connected to the spray but did not pay for itself and Im sure of that, was out with Kerb last week at 3 degree soil temps, lots of frosts in Ireland lately, one...
Yes i think it should not be allowed pre harvest, especially if it means we can keep it as a stubble hygiene product, it's not ideal and I also farm in a place where we rarely cut wheat below 18% but we can live without, might mean using less strobs or sdhi chemistry later in season (at t3)...
Size could be a limiting factor, as the extra level of management and attention to detail gets a bit harder the more ground there is to cover or different soil types, just a thought. But irrelevant to the opening post which I also think is very significant because it was not significant...
Just up the road from you @Conflats. Have experience with oilseed radish and vetch mixed with other things. Is this an official trial or just something you doing at home?
Wow this is a long time ago, don't think it came to much, it grew but was drilled late and the field had other more dominating plants, that field had spring rape in 2011 and loads of volunteers came along with the drilled cover and dominated really, I think if you drilled in early Aug maize may...
Quit using Bittersaltz 2 years ago after years of use. Like above any tissue tests we have ever done put Mg as the most limiting factor. Adding Bittersaltz never seemed to make any difference to test so came to the conclusion its hard to get those crystals into the plant. Some 'experts'...
Lots of stone over here in Ireland also and you have a point. Also lots of extra stone picking required after strip till, good for fitness levels ????:eek:
Could you give us a quick run down on producing organic wheat, yield expectations etc, I assume no chems at all, are some chem fert allowed eg SOP ? do you use high or low seed rates? what is your assumed production cost/ton?
I am liking the idea of less spend leading to less required spend but...
Can someone expand a bit on the phosphite on beans for mildew.
Its not so cheap that every 14 days will not add up to a good cost? Do all brands show results. lots out in the market now?
What timing is your first application.
Yea I was at his talk also and and asked him this quietly afterwards in a one and one discussion, again like you said advice was not if crop is also a cash crop in the rotation. I asked him specifically how about a legume (vetch was example I used) in CC before spring planted Pea or bean crop...
Question Clive.
Pedders No 1 mix has Radish, and Peas in It. and you are following it with Peas and OSR. Are you not concerned with rotation not just for this crop but for the gap you technically need to leave before going back to this field with a Brassica or Legume cash crop? This is my...
