[QUOTE="Farmer Roy, post: 7238424, member: 71668"] yeah, slugs aren’t an issue, have never seen them here in a cropping situation, even in particularly wet winters. We do however at times have issues with soil borne larvae like wire worm & cut worm ( once lost a field of emerging chickpeas due to cut worm. Couldn’t believe how quick they went across it. ) & one year I did have problems with crickets eating emerging sunflowers. As a rough rule of thumb, I suppose we always aim for or expect around 80% or better establishment, from the seed we plant, taking into account germination % & establishment losses. For example, the sorghum I planted last week was at 55,000 seeds / ha, with the aim of establishing around 45,000 plants / ha . . . [/QUOTE]
