Critical crop agronomy for mid-April
Category: Government & Organizations
Duration: 00:33:19

Description:

All tillage farmers have a long list of crop management tasks which needs to be completed as soon as possible and on this week’s Tillage Edge podcast, Ciaran Collins and Shay Phelan, both Tillage Specialists in Teagasc, chat through the critical tasks which need addressing on tillage farms.  

 

Both specialists emphasise the variation in crops’ growth and the need for farmers to walk their crops regularly.

 

Shay emphasised the need to adjust seeding rates of spring barleys to compensate for lower tillering capacity of crops to ensure high yield, while Ciaran says farmers should choose fields carefully, avoiding light soils, if they intend to plant any beans from now on.
