[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7727166, member: 2119"] Too high a plant population can cause low bushelweight here as the plants starve one another as our soils dry out. Also increased disease pressure. It depends on TGW and drilling date of course but in simple terms I’m tending to go back down to 150 kg/ha seed rate as a general rule. 200 is too high when conditions are stressy. When combining for my mate on the wolds I was always amazed at the yield and quality of the wheat. The soil was moisture retentive nice stuff, but you could “whip a mouse through the crop”. It always seemed too low a plant population to me as he drilled it about 3” deep in November. But it generally did over 3t per acre of high quality grain. Interesting trial on biomass and fungicide usage 👍 I’ll be pleased to hear of the findings.. [/QUOTE]
