    Flea Beetle 2019

    Been out looking tonight and the difference between drilled Aug10th and three weeks later is staggering, later drilled is being hammered by beetle at 6tl but I can find a few larvae in the odd plant in early planted already ? Would much rather the early slot,

    Flea Beetle 2019

    Flea Beetle 2019

    Without being an arsehole the early drilling slot when there was plenty of moisture seems to have paid dividends, my late planted osr very small and struggling, don’t think companions make much difference although one was on a plant of buckwheat

    Flea Beetle 2019

    Flea Beetle 2019

    I planted the buckwheat at the same time as the osr, I have two hoppers one for seed and a fert hopper which I used for the companion crop, double rolled and applied 30kg N, we have caught alot of rain here 30mm in the last week so fingers crossed
