140kg. All in the seedbed. Some kind of nalting variety. Would aim for half of it going in the premium bin at the store.

 

[Phil P]

Between 100-162kg/ha or 80-130 units/ac depending on soil type and om content.

When was it drilled?

 

[Chae1]

Contractor that does our silage finished drilling spring barley Sunday.

Be interesting to see how it does.

 

[bobk]

My sb sown 12th / May is romping away

 

[nelly55]

When was it drilled?

Early April and early May

 

[Phil P]

I’m no expert/agronomist but shouldn’t spring barley of had all its N by now? We usually get its second lot on as soon as the rows/tramlines are visible. With the it only going in late this year I put 80% in the seedbed, usually I do an 50/50 split.
Our early may sown spring barley was already well met in the rows when I left last Friday.

Well it won’t matter now it’s back under water

100 kg/ha N on Laureate for distilling spec (1.55 N), sown mid to late April. Applied early post emergence.

I‘d be applying more if it was feed, some in the seedbed then the rest by the end of tillering.

 

[Luke Cropwalker]

Early April and early May

The later drilled will probably only be able to use around 80Kg/Ha of N, the earlier drilled could probably justify around 100Kg/Ha of N.
