There is only one rakeWhat sort of rake is it Nick?
One field brilliantHow are these beans looking now @nick channer ?
We did on the spring wheat only cos agri cocked up and sent our seed out with no austral+ on it so they donated Dursban!!!Did you use much dursban? P word being mentioned again round here due to wireworm.
Here are mine today. Spring down wizard on a field of low fertility and 70 years grass at least. I need to break even really and though there are some weak areas there are some strong areas too
Did you place any starter fert with them?Here are mine today. Spring down wizard on a field of low fertility and 70 years grass at least. I need to break even really and though there are some weak areas there are some strong areas too
Should be aiming a bit higher than breaking even don't you think Will? Beans look good enough to me. Except is there a deficiency there?
Did you place any starter fert with them?
What about some placed n with no till beans to make up for lack of mineralisation? We have 7 units placed on claydon beans as part of an np mix. Slightly better than where we switched it off but hard to know if it's the n or the p doing the business.These fields are low in ph and soil test was low in P and K. I put some 5t/ha lime on in February and then drilled with 0/24/24 as a starter - can't remember how much now. About 6 weeks ago I then put some more pelleted lime and p and k on as a broadcast.
It is quite light coloured - I wonder if I should do a tissue test and see if its low in anything else. I can't expect the ph to change so quickly.
