Good job RT is voluntaryI'm in Wales, I can!
Out of interest if someone put Urea on on April 3rd in England would their corn not be able to be sold with a Red Tractor sticker? Would this toxic waste have to be landfilled?
Fertilizing winter cereal
- Thread starter Plough on

I'm not using urea, so I won't be getting caught out. Because it's not law yet, the produce should be fine (what about the toxicity of the inhibitor?) but you'd have a non compliance for RT and whatever that entails.I'm in Wales, I can!

like every red tractor nonsense requirement it depends on what date gets written down !

Made a start. First N on barley and OSR (what’s left of it). N on some grass and also poly.
Rained off the crops mid afternoon by a torrential downpour. Really it was too windy but I’m hoping the smallish dose of N won’t distort things too badly if it’s been blown across a bit. It actually looked fairly even walking across the field despite some powerful gusts. Went to put some N on a field of Timothy sown last summer to find there’s nothing left but AMG. Didn’t bother giving it any. Will have to reseed probably with a herbal ley.

I normally aim for 200 kg n on all wheats. After this winter I was thinking I will need more, 1/2 DD

What's that in units to acreInteresting

I can only do Kg/ha or bags/acre , it's about 5 bags/acre

I can only bags or units per acre but spraying is litres per hectare.

I'm pretty much all metricated, it was changing over when I was at school, and before then we used bags/acre.

Well in theory born 72 so should be metricated but fert cwt or units per acre simple. Spray sheet in hectares but do work it back to acres but litres not fl oz or pints.
