Stubble turnips latest drilling date north yorkshire

[Derrick Hughes]

rubbish, but depends if your drilling or broadcasting for a start.
2kgs an acre and had some great bulbs, so much I can hardly walk through the crop with a dodgy ankle!

I sold a lot of Turnip Seed last year and can't think of any that asked for 2kg acre
Most were 1 to 1.5
I did sow some Green Globe at 1.5 kg came to thick by far

wouldn't want someone to put on stubbles at low seed rate and end up with half a crop!

Every situation is different valid observation.
I went at 15% above rec on hybrid osr seed
no one seems to recommend it but i'm glad
i did due to flea beetle.Crop looks very well at the moment.

Do you put Barley seed on at twice the Recomended rate
One for rook one for crow one to rot and one to grow. That's 4 times the recomended rate

Stubble turnips low seed rate

Second opinion please. Got my seed rate a bit too low on stubble turnips and they are only just over 1kg/acre, maybe under. (Samson) What would you do? Redrill with an extra .5kg or leave them?

The op is in North Yorkshire. Their growing climate is somewhat different from the tropics of Pembrokeshire, and if you weren’t so Broad-brush with your suggestions, you might not attract quite so much abuse!

I don't farm In Pembrokeshire
I farm at 1000 ft not far from the Tregaron Hills
Some posters just like to couse arguments
Sid in particular
Maybe I should keep my opinions to myself , but if everyone did that there would be no discussion. I own a farm where a lot of trail work is done by Corteva and a few other companies, I see at first hand what's going on .
Maybe a shame If I keep that all to myself
