Teagasc has released suggested seed rates for winter barley varieties in 2020, based on planting in October and the wetter conditions.
As farmers begin to plant winter barley across the country it is important to get the seed rate right.
One job that is essential at this time of year is calibrating the seed drill. AgriLand talks through the process with Derek Delahunty.
Spring sowing is underway. Seed rate should be calculated and take in a number of factors.
To determine the correct seeding rate in order to hit the 350 seeds/m² target, we need to determine the Thousand Grain Weight of the seed.
Seed may be short, but many farmers will be putting in some beans this spring, some maybe for the first time.
Knowing the thousand grain weight is essential in this process. Farmers should be aware of this figure before ordering their seed.
Many tillage farmers have seed drills out this week. Many more are ordering seed. Be sure to get your calculations right.
Teagasc held a series of winter crop walks last week and gave some pointers to farmers planning on sowing beans this spring.
The thousand grain weight (TGW) of oats is much lower than normal this season. As a result the seeding rate should be revised.
The early harvest this season makes it an ideal year for planting winter oilseed rape. The crop is liked by a consistent group of farmers.
As tillage farmers try to make the most of a few dry days, here's a re-cap of a few things to take into account when sowing spring barley.
Calibrating your seed drill is an important task. It ensures that the seed drill is sowing at the correct rate.
Seeding rate can be affected by many different factors. The thousand grain weight has a big impact on the seed rate.
