When I grew it over here I was told its roots go down much deeper than the other cereals so it can find nutrients that others can't get to.That's interesting, I've heard some say that rye has been disappointing but it's probably because of what you say above.
I thought rye was better at utilizing N than wheat hence it had a lesser requirement but in actual fact it's just better at scavenging for it but still needs similar amounts for given yields.
looked after Grain Rye for a few years now, 80-120 kg N is ample depending on soil types. More importantly is the variety grown. Look for a variety that is proven to stand.Hi all, growing hybrid rye for the first time, it is to combine not wholecrop, how much nitrogen are others putting on, I’m old school, was thinking 140 units? I would usually put 190ish units on wheat.
