Aims

To investigate the best approach to applying a set amount of nitrogen (100 kg/ha) in order to achieve the greatest grain yield and to maximize quality.
 

Key messages
  • Very high yields were achived in Revenue which indicates the benefit of an early sowing (23rd April). To achieve high yields in Revenue sowing should be undertaken as early as possible. this variety has a strong vernalisation requirement which means that flowering will occur at approximately the same time of year irrespective of sowing date, thereby not increasing the frost risk.
  • For further take home messages please see the attached trial report.
