Winter cereals: Crop management update from CAFRE

March 11, 2021 10:17 am College of Agriculture, Food and Rural Enterprises (CAFRE) crops advisors are highlighting the impact that a wet autumn, in which winter cereals were sown over an extended period, has resulted in crops which now range from strong and well-developed to thin and backward. High winter rainfall has left soil nitrogen (N) levels low – therefore, early N is a priority to kick-start them back into life. Winter barley requires at least one third of its total N during late tillering, before mid-March and winter wheat the same proportion before the end of March. For thin and struggling crops, sow N earlier to encourage tillering.

Caution needed as NI open slurry period commences

Caution needed as NI open slurry period commences 2 February 2021 | Slurrying should only be carried out if ground conditions are suitable, the UFU warns Northern Irish farmers have been told to act with extra caution after the open slurry period commenced on 1 February. The open period for spreading slurry started on Monday, and the Ulster Farmers’ Union (UFU) has warned farmers to ensure they are abiding by all guidelines. After snow and heavy rainfall last week, many areas across the region will not be suitable for slurry spreading, the union said. The introduction of the new Nutrients Action Programme (NAP) in 2020 brought with it various changes to spreading.
