N splits

[bobk]

Normally do 3 , but this is going to be a late start , so I'm thinking best lash some on N1 and do 2 splits , what's the thinking ?

Depends how well tillered it is. Any muck under it.
I prefer little and often.

I don't think we'll be getting on this month

 

[DRC]

Hopefully it will alter fast when it does dry up. I agree that it'll be end of the month .

 

[Steevo]

Also depends what fert you're using.

Did the title not give it away ?

He was referring to AN vs urea, I think

Can't see the type being an issue .

 

[principal skinner]

Still planning 3 splits on ww, wb, wosr.

WW N1 n26 37 s03, N2 urea, N3 AN
WB N1 n26 37 so3, N2 urea, N3 urea
WOSR N1 n26 37 s03, N2 urea, N3 urea

N1 all applied

Is it growing ?

Yes, wheats greening up, barley and osr on the move, N1 was Monday/Tuesday last week

Urea takes longer to work, so if going later I’d stick to AN. I managed to get 40 units of urea on when it was travelable, and it’s certainly altered today.
This is rye, that did look a bit on the thin side.

Speed of leaching and conversion to nitrate. There was a thread about it recently but I don't think it makes much difference.

What crops are you referring to? A big dose of N before the end of tillering in cereals will encourage lush growth and increase the risk of lodging later on.

Wheat 40 kg now. Half done so far. The rest will be split between GS30 at the end of March and again once we've been round the first main dose, usually GS32-33 in mid-late April.
OSR 110 kg N on late Feb. Campus is a foot tall already. Same dose again after doing the 1st main split on wheat during stem extension hopefully before flowering starts.

12 degrees C here today, with soil temperature 8 degrees at 4" deep at 10am this morning. Lovely sunny day. It's almost spring like.

Don't do it for the money , same as vous .

 

[ploughman1963]

Our barley really needs some fert but isnt going to get it hurry so we decided to put a recent purchase into action. Hopefuly should be able to travel on these without leaving ruts
