[farm]

What seed rates are people going at we are 400 ish seeds at 60 tgw skyscraper 250kg/ha

 

[Fish]

150kg @ tgw 53, 250/275 s/m2

 

[bobk]

185kg/ ha tgw 53 , how many plants is that

Currently drilling Jackel, Tgw50 180-230kg/ha variable rate.

What happened to good old cwt and a half, for those under 50 that's 187.5kg ha

It went the same way as not allowing a green bridge between crops

High rate for sept

What would you recommend

 

[Feldspar]

We're doing 400-450 seeds / sq m. Has been some quite challenging no-till conditions into quite a bit of trash with possible losses from Avadex and slugs, so have gone for much higher than you would in a normal situation.

 

[bobk]

High rate for sept

Who knows what the weather holds, gone very backend very quickly

 

[Poncherello1976]

Siskin at 180 Kg/Ha with a TGW of 47 aiming for 350 seeds/m2, this is early Oct drilling. Up the rate a bit to aim for 375-400 seeds for later October drilling.

It’s still only September ( just)
plenty of time for a well established crops going into winter .
Its not long ago that we wouldn’t even think of sowing wheat until mid October, and apart from last year, never seemed to have much problem getting it in . Its been sunny with a coldish wind here. Good drying weather today though.

What would you recommend

187.5, or the old 1.5cwt acre is plenty .
Ive been drilling at less than that , this early.
it’ll be like a box hedge at 250

I suppose you could up it a bit for that, but I still wouldn’t be going at that rate in September . November maybe.
depends on seedbed as well, but up to now, nothings been mauled in .

At 50 tgw I would be at your seed rate
