[QUOTE="Aardvark139, post: 5630964, member: 2291"] Firstly I think you should be pretty happy with the ground cover you have achieved in a difficult season, but the seed rate looks quite high to me? This will have the effect of reducing the radishes ability to produce a big tap root but some people prefer lots of smaller ones, particularly where blackgrass is an issue. I definitely prefer to use lower rates to encourage root development, as the larger roots store and then later release back their nutrients. There is clearly a benefit to the crop behind the wheels of the tractor, as you can see the wheeling marks showing up as darker green stripes. This suggests that better consolidation and seed to soil contact has helped the plant to find everything it needs. [/QUOTE]
