Mulika drilling date

[db9go]

What are people thinking is the best drilling date for spring drilled Mulika and at what seed rate

 

[Against_the_grain]

Heavy seed rate. Drill as soon as you can into decent conditions

 

[DieselRob]

450 seeds/m as soon as conditions allow

 

[MrNoo]

280kg/ha and more if out the heap, asap.

I drilled some on ploughing last Jan, some claydoned in to wheat stubble 4th April, and they both did 5.5-8 t/ha, so personally I would wait till conditions are better and it's maybe end of next week. Warmer would be nice as it gets up and away from the crows and rooks.

Not putting much in but will be going at 290 kgs if the field ever gets rid of the water that is currently lying on it, need a boat

@willy what was your cop at those yield levels, Were not spring wheat growers. Looking for something to add a bit more diversity to rotations, but would need to stack up on its own.

Full spec mulika sold for £157.

Normally yield between 6-7 tonnes. Dry spell just finished it off last year.

 

[Adeptandy]

Going for 250kg/ha here to replace a BG infested WW & a field of OSR that is full of CSFB large and dying by the day, hopefully spraying off this week to drill next.

Usual spring wheat spend.

150kgs n urea =£94
Sprays copper;fungicide and herbicides = £ 130
Seed home saved =50

£ 264

YIELD 5.5@ £ 130 =715

Not alot to play with by the time u add fixed costs. But neither has ww with blackgrass

@willy when do you put your N on and do you give it any S? first time with spring wheat this year and its Mulika

 

[willy]

Ok thanks

Get it cleaned and single purpose dressed, no difference at all, high seed rate as it doesn't tiller at all.

I would go along with tiller statement as that I know Drilled 16th October has very few.
