[QUOTE="Simon Chiles, post: 6654003, member: 1233"] If you’ve cultivated your cereal stubbles already you aren’t going to have a problem in the spring, hopefully your straw will have decomposed by then. You have to take into account when your graminaceous material comes into contact with the soil, for example you could have used a stripper header at harvest but the remaining straw might still be standing when you came to drill it in the spring. In this scenario the decomposition wouldn’t start until the time you came to drill it and then the results would vary according to whether the spring was then either dry or wet. In some ways I think that because there are so many variables, and most of them occur after drilling, it makes predicting the results difficult. For me, if in any doubt, I’d apply the prilled lime as an insurance, at £20/acre I know that if it isn’t required then at least it’s still available as a plant nutrient. [/QUOTE]
