With the shooting season now in full flow and Christmas rapidly approaching, I guess it is a good time to reflect on 2015.
With multiple sources of data coming at growers from all angles, including yield maps, soil samples, nitrogen sensing, etc, Agrovista was keen to show off its Axis real-time data hub at the event.
Late weed control in oilseed rape in running several weeks late due to the warm weather, says Agrovista agronomist Craig Green. Many growers have rightly delayed applying propyzamide to control black grass in oilseed rape as soil temperatures have been too high foreffective control, says Craig.
It is well know the key to achieving high oilseed rape fields is to deliver a high number of seeds per sq.m. And with seed number determined during a two to three week period towards the end of the canopy development.
