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?

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?
