[QUOTE="Simon C, post: 5140608, member: 319"] Yes completely agree on needing more seed in no-till. Lack of minerarlised nutrients and relying on biological processes which don't start working until the soil has warmed enough in the spring means we get much less tillering than in a conventional system. We also don't get that lush early growth and so I haven't bothered with any growth regs for a few years now. Before no-till, when it was the fashion for low seed rates, I was down to 250 seeds/m but rates have gradually gone up since, 450 last autumn and I still think there is scope to go to 500 next year. Saving own seed and not using chemical dressings makes this affordable of course. [/QUOTE]
