That’s a very respectable spring barley yield in the real world imo.What do you do, I have always been 120 keg/ha, but never make malting and so I think I should either up it to 150 kgs and go for yield. What do you find works and what sort of yields are you getting.
mine is planet and we seem to be around 6.5 t/ha
135kg/ha. Half spread on ploughing, half when tramlines showing.
Never a problem making malting, No grass in arable rotation though. Dung & compost applied every year but never ahead of spring barley
7.9t/ha last year but that was a one off. Average would be 7t/ha
No. Decent amount of K though.Do you think the compost provides much N?
Often find it’s not far off the winter barley, which normally droughts out too early. Spring barley some how always gets later rain before to critical. Seems that way anyjowThat’s a very respectable spring barley yield in the real world imo.
Bah it must be nice on easy east land80-100kg, has provided us with yields of anything from 5t/ha up to 9.5t/ha!
Well I'd be pleased with 6.5t/ha spring with 100kgs N and slightly disappointed with 7.5t/ha at 150kgs N Winter. Our winter barley seems to get away before the drought here. Funny how the country changes in a relatively short distance.Often find it’s not far off the winter barley, which normally droughts out too early.

Up until your post , kgs/ ha might as well have been in a foreign language - meaning less . But I can clearly visualise what 120 units actually is120 units acre here. Those that want to covert that to metric, crack on.
