What have others successfully grown when OSR has failed after receiving Astrokerb? Would cultivation be better than DD?

Written by Richard Halleron from Agriland Cereal growers and arable farmers in Northern Ireland are deeply concerned about the recent slippage in grain prices and the prospect of growing crops this year using high cost inputs. This scenario is the backdrop for the 2023 ‘Agronomy and Business...

Profitable September-sown winter wheat crops can be grown long-term on land with a history of serious blackgrass infestation, according to the latest results from Agrovista’s flagship trials Lamport AgX. Work at the heavy-land site also suggests that growers who want to maximise their wheat area...

Be grateful for the combined wisdom on this, as I'm not sure I've ever got it quite right... Winter oat stubble, had a shakearator, 2b discs and a roll. Now green as anything: Heavy land. Want to plant wheat. Tempted to disc it again, then spray off what comes back? Always think max...

Farmers with a known black-grass burden shouldn’t be lured into bringing their winter wheat drilling date forwards just because large parts of the UK have seen improved soil moisture levels following the dry, early harvest. That’s the advice from Mike Thornton, head of crop production for...

Written by Richard Halleron from Agriland Take-all has had a major impact on both winter wheat and barley yields this year, according to Co. Down cereal grower, Graham Furey. And the dry weather that was a feature of June and July only served to exacerbate the problem. “Take-all affects the...

Haven't seen takeall for years but there clearly was some in some second wheat (5th cereal) this year. Field is due to go into wheat again - anything that can be done to reduce risk?

Written by Richard Halleron from Agriland While last weekend’s heavy rain brought the harvest to a halt, Teagasc is confirming that combines are now back in the fields – working at full pelt. Moreover, the forecast for the next few days raises the hope of more dry weather coming our way. The...

I’ve got some second wheat questions: 1. Are there any varieties that are best suited to being a second wheat? 2. Is Latitude needed when a second wheat is drilled as late as January? 3. what kind of seed rates should be used for second wheat drilled in Dec/Jan? I would normally be at around...

We have tested our soils, all are high pH, high magnesium, low sulphur and manganese. Is there any product that could be used and make our 3 and 4 index P&k more available. All fields are temporary and permanent grass.

Understand biostimulants for best results this spring There are often mixed views about the value of biostimulants to arable crops, but work by leading agronomy firm Hutchinsons shows they can benefit wheat yields if the correct product is applied at the optimum time. Trials over several...

Well seeing as it’s new year and last years thread on this topic ram to 80 pages, thought it time to start a new one for this year’s harvest. I don’t have a lot of winter corn in but what I have is looking ok. The warm December certainly did no harm. A selection as off today. Graham after...

R and R ………….. September 2021 Harvest 2021 was the second in succession where the combine saw no rapeseed through its 12m header. At least this time it was planned, as not an acre was planted following the 100% loss of our 2020 crop. This we redrilled with Linseed after finding most of the...

Have a field in second continuous spring wheat and doing a great job on the blackgrass problem. Question is if we carry on would it get take all or is it a bit risky - tia .

What are everyone's thoughts then? Heard 'massive' on a different thread from south of us. May just be us, but mid/later season wheats(altitude or drill date/variety) hit by cool & wet at flowering-michodochium 15-20% florets on some ears, despite very robust (+PTZ) head spray. Earlier...
