[QUOTE="Secret Agronomist, post: 7345234, member: 153120"] It's that time of year again, soon be time to start splashing about miniscule amounts of trace elements in the hope of hitting top yields. Over the last few years I've moved to using Combitop (Mn,S,Mg,Zn) on all the cereals, usually using 5kg/Ha in each pass which costs about £10-£13/ha depending on how many passes I'm doing. I also apply Cu as required but the levels of that are starting to rise a bit after doing it for a few years. Traditionally I would have done 2 doses of DF manganese and left it at that (approx £4/ha) so am I gaining anything from the extra £6 or so? This is on light soils that are usually moisture deficient after 2 dry weeks, we grow a lot of potatoes and carrots so are still plough based but we use as much cover crop as we can to try and boost OM matter. Is there any evidence of muck and mystery products helping rooting? I use seaweed on the root crops as a standard but haven't tried any on cereals as it is expensive, I really need to do a split field trial on this I think. I also used a good amount of Didin last year and applied a lot of the N in one dose but the results are bit inconclusive on that, it certainly got a lot of work out of the way early but in one or two situations it may have cost yield. I'm also thinking of trying some strips with one or two other products this year to see how they go. So what else are people using? [/QUOTE]
