[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 4203974, member: 166"] Here are my theories on why there was so much brackling this year; [LIST] [*]Weather - heavy rain storms as it approached maturity that beat it down to the ground [*]Weather - lush compensatory growth when the drought broke in May with weaker straw. The late uptake of nitrogen won't have helped but until I see post harvest grain Ns I can't really comment further. [*]Weather - drought early on limiting uptake of essential nutrients when there was insufficient water to allow the roots to do so even if they were available. Potassium is normally associated with cell wall strength but there's a whole suite of nutrients needed to build a strong plant. [*] [*]PGRs? No. There seems to be little correlation between PGR use and brackling. [*]Row spacing or seed rate? No. It all went down regardless. [*]Pre harvest desiccation with glyphosate? No. Most crops around here aren't sprayed off. It can affect germination so is risky if done early. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
