I’ve read various suggestions over the years, but wondering if there is a reliable way to thin out thick and forward rape.
The forwardness doesn’t worry me so much, but it is quite thick. It’s conventional, and the seed rate was kept up to allow for CSFB/slug losses etc, but it ended up all growing through that wet spell.
I recall reading on here some time ago about someone going through with glypho with every other nozzle blocked off, and a low pressure (1 bar) on low drift nozzles. Perhaps the same concept but with liquid fertiliser stream nozzles to guarantee no drift between nozzles?
This would certainly thin it, and give 50cm gaps for it to branch out into in the Spring.
Any other ideas?
