Latest sowing date for spring wheat?

[ollie989898]

Yes watch out for mildew, noted


Leggy well, Trouble is I found that pgr was too hard on it and knocked irreparably in a stressful 'lack of rain' / not good growing period

And grain will be small enough as well without using a high seedrate.

I've had the stuff so thick and tall you can barely walk through it. You would think it was a winter crop but for the colour of it.

They must be better at growing it than me

About now when its fit enough to drill is about as late as I would want to go, as trouble is when it starts to dry it might frazzle up really dry for a month or so

We have drilled spring wheat at the end of March a few times and it has always done about 7-8t/ha. I can’t see the point of mauling in winter wheat in hideous conditions through the winter and still spending more money on it when we can get that yield for little cost.
We did Pre book the seed when it started raining in September though so we have paid a normal price for it not these crazy prices I have heard quoted.

I've never drilled spring wheat into clart. Does it stick it?

Does spring wheat have a vernalisation requirement?

In 2018 I planted some in may and got crop in August ok

How many seeds a metre for Mulika end of March planting?

 

[Spencer]

Lots..

 

[Brisel]

450-500 seeds/m2 depending on seedbed quality.

 

[ollie989898]

Make the best seedbed you can, it will be better off with good soil to seed contact.

Drilling something called Chilham yesterday and today. Ridiculous seed price but we were expecting high wheat prices this autumn back when it was ordered...

High grain quality and good yielder also early ripener.
