[QUOTE="htj, post: 695404, member: 251"] We have direct drilled wheat into burnt off grass legs this autumn. Two fields next to each other, one field great, and the other poor on one half. Drilled mid September, the half that is poor was very dry at drilling, and I had to set the drill slightly deeper to get cover with our Aitchison T-sem. Seed rate was around 130 kgs/ha, aiming for a population of 200 plants per ha, based on the TGW's. Looking this morning at the poor half, it will need re-drilling. I have some seed spare from the autumn, enough to cover the poor area, as we used less than anticipated, due to the rate calculations. Do I drill now, at a higher seed rate, and hope for a reasonable germination; delay until early spring, and still use the winter wheat seed I have; or drill with spring wheat when conditions really warm up?
