Fert Plans - OSR/WW/WB

[Jerry]

What are others thinking about as regards AS and N for OSR/WW/WB?

Timings and quantities?

 

[Andy26]

I've not done any residual N tests yet, it's likely they are a lot lower than usual given the volume of rainfall and leaching that will of ocurred over the last 10 months or so.

I plan to put 40kgN/ha on the WW in the first 10 days of March. Any more than that will depend on the weather both current and forecast. I will have at least three perhaps four N timings this year. The past couple of years I've had two N timings (not counting any very early N on backwards crops).

Just done ours literally. Only got wheat and winter barley so going for 220kg/ha N on both. 70kg/ha SO3 on wheat and 42kg/ha SO3 on barley. All of the ground had compost in 2011 and some of it had compost last back end and everything will get some gypsum or slag this autumn, so not doing any P & K at all as the indices are good anyway.

Not doing any soil N tests as I will just use everybody else results because we've all had the same amount of rain or thereabouts!

Will be doing more tissue N tests though than normal thats for sure as I am on a 4 or 5 application of the fert.

I will be across the OSR and backwards wheat (all but one field) with 100kg'Ha 33.0.3 AN as soon as I can travel. to try to kick it on.

i hope to put 40/50kgs on as soon as dry enough and when my new spreader arrives

Little and often I think that is going to be the key this season and dont forget the minor elements.
What spreader did you go for Nick.

 

[Knockie]

Got a wee bit of work to do on the fert rig, then whack the whole lot on as conditions and NVZ dates allow.

You are very brave.

 

[Knockie]

brave or stupid.....AS injected into the root zone, will stay in the Ammonium form and not leach, essentially N in the soil in a stable form readily available for the plant, as "little and often" as you can get.
Cheers.

pics please in thw workshop builds forum !!

also some of that wonderful drill of yours in it's more final form would be really interesting

 

[Norfolk Horn]

Sounds promising good luck with that I hope it works.

 

[Shropshire Farmer]

My plan is 180-220 kg N per hectare on all the wheat but I'm going to do some N min tests as soon as we have got 10 dry days under our belt. I think a good proportion of the wheat will need four splits. The rape will get 220 kg N starting with 40 kgs of straight N as soon as conditions allow followed by 20.0.10 + 5 SO3 in liquid form split 3 times at 60kgs of N and 30 kgs of K final split at late green bud stage.

Thanks, sometimes need a bit of luck!
Clive, I'll get some pics up on the workshop thread and up on the DD forum, what's the best way to get pics up from iPhone? I used to upload them to tractor search, or would I be better with flicker app or similar?

I find Flickr the best - download the iPhone app and you can do it I direct from the phone even

Tractor search still works well also
