World Wheat Record

Wheat record broken again. Anyone care to guess the nitrogen use per ton produced before it's announced?

I'll go for 380kg per hectare.

Is MR Lamyman having a go near you again. Did he get all his drilled?

How many units is that?

 

[deleted user 837354]

How many units is that?

304 units/acre.

 

[R J]

320 kg /hectare

 

[D14]

320 kg /hectare

At current prices that pays as long as he's not then spent £400/ha on chemicals!!

Well if you read the original question again you are all wrong, none of you can win, not even the OP..... it asks for N/Tonne you fools

Meh - good thing the op is not sat home schooling maths to his child!

Is that calculated usage based on manure aplied in resent years
or just on bagged usage

 

[Brisel]

26 kg/t

Edit: I'll change that to 17 kg/t.

Bagged. Suppose you can make an allowence for residual - I'll consider current guesses to be based on what I consider the usual UK arable basis IE 20kg smn at the beginning of a crop and after the offtake.

When we got high yield in the 1980s with 120 kg n out of the bag but 250 kg from muck 4 plus tonnes of 13.5% protein wheat per acre

 

[teslacoils]

I'm used to applying 300kg from a bag. But with yields to go with it. I expect his irrigation would drop his nitrogen per ton of grain to lower than we would get here. 30kg per ton of 13 percent milling. 25kg for 11.4 feed.

Kerrin variety.

The water, along with an excellent growing climate (like where Tim lammyman etc are in the U.K.) must make these fairly nitrogen efficient crops?

Yup. I think I went for about 21kgN per ton of grain.

My most nitrogen efficient grain crops have been oats in the past.

, those clever Kiwis are at it again ....was back in Feb btw.

 

[Kiwi Pete]

I'm with @Brisel ?
17kgN/tonne

Interesting is the low seed rate @65kg/ha used at Watson's, thought they may have bumped it to 75kg/ha this time

 

[Honest john]

I think 302 kg/ha. ?

 

[Widgetone]

Never really understood the point in this competition, what's the point in it other than that of mild interest?
Just as well most growers cant get close or we would be awash with global wheat!

Are there rules, like a minimum field size to avoid laboratory scale plots where inputs can be optimized?

 

[4course]

just googled to see what the ton/ha achieved . 17 .38 t/ha or a smidge over 7t/acre so reckon thats me only 35% behind on my best ever crop and cant see us beating that this year ( ho ho)
