Written by Eva Osborne-Sherlock from Agriland Big yields are forecast for this year’s maize crop and farmers must plan and prepare to capitalise on this to protect its quality at harvest. This is according to seed and silage inoculants sales manager at global agricultural chemical company...

Was on a Superg farm walk this week talking about over seeding grass and clover https://www.super-g.eu/ It was interesting to see very little difference between the 3 plots on both farms. Control v slotseeding v rotor seeding. In terms of yields, protein or energy. There was a rise in the...

Does anyone get any problems with going grass to grass reseed? Any advice on making sure it is successful. We put in stubble turnips last winter then reseeded this spring, worked well but would like to do more this year but have no real use for the extra break crop, we didn't spray last year but...

Written by janineadamson from CPM Magazine Two new winter oilseed rape hybrids have been added to the UK National List, with seed available this summer. Pioneer, Corteva Agriscience’s seed brand, has added PT312 and PT315 to its range, both of which have been tested across a range of sites in...

I’ve a bit of stalky rye grass. Dried off ewes on it which worked well for them and they learnt to eat the seed heads. We’ve now had 46mm of rain in last 11 days which is a bit of a shock to the system for us in a dry bit of Devon. It’s flushing up green in the base of the crop now and...

Wanting to change quite a few 5 way nozzle holders on my Knight sprayer and there are 2 different types of check valve seals available. (EPDM or Viton) Looking at a 5 way hypro pro flo nozzle holder. (Just basic no air shut offs etc) What are the advantages / disadvantages on a sprayer between...

Silage field was sprayed this past with with forefront, been assured it’s safe to cut it won’t forefront as the much from the resulting silage will only ever be used back on grassland. But what I was wondering how long after spraying is it safe to cut it ?

We planted some herbal leys 2 years ago....like a lot 👍 I was keener on plantain than chicory as I think it will survive shorter rotations with sheep better....plantain had been looking very healthy this March...then spotted a lot of holes appearing across the plantain leaves, looking similar...

5 days and up Amazing what a bit of rain does The stones arnt as bad as they look

Obviously I’d like to get them in at the end of July after some winter barley but the most suited field is in with spring barley which might not come off till third week of august, is that too late for a good crop of stubble turnips and would fodder rape do better then?

Have many started yet, if so what are you using?

Had a silage field sprayed today for docks, didn’t realise just how much grass on it . How soon do I need to leave it before mowing ? I used gal gone spray only thing I can find is keep livestock off for 7 days

Please post your experiences this season, good and bad. A little bit of information eg water rates / tank mix would be useful. Moderator Note: Two Threads merged.

Haven’t heard of any yet. Anyone had any issues at T1?

So, if you had folpet in the shed, a nice evening tonight and at least a week of rain coming up in the forecast, would you paint it on leaf 2? Idea is to give a bit more flexibility for the T2 timing, or maybe even let me drop down from a Revystar to an Ascra type mix later on, if it comes dry...

Due to the lack of spraying weather starting to get behind with it . Still have some Atlantis type products to put on winter wheat then all the wheat will need T0 very soon. Agronomist saying leave the herbicides very soon and move on to the T0 s . Weather is driving me crazy two nice days then...

What is the best for killing docks, chickweed, nettles and thristles at a reasonable price but wont stunt grass growth?

As I have done for a few years now, I sprayed off a grass field and direct drilled in a forage brassica mix. What I normally do once it's grazed off is, leave it a few weeks and spray glyphosate. Once that's had enough time to work I disc it, sow straight away and roll. This year I am planning...

Written by Robert Patten B.Eng. MBA from Plantworks and Smart Rotations We can define regenerative agriculture in many ways, indeed many have, but for the sake of a grounded definition let us agree it begins with a focus on the soil being an asset and not a commodity. This is a good start, as...

Smallholder farmers produce approximately a third of the world’s food, using just a fraction of the land and often minimal resources. What are the keys to supporting them? From hybrid seeds and specialized software to mobile apps and satellite imagery, modern farmers have a range of cutting-edge...
