Planting will be taking place when soil conditions permit. Make sure that the basics are suitable for the crop, such as no compaction and good fertility. Put P & K close to the seed where fertility is lower. This can also be done with a number of strip-till systems by injection. Fertility and pH are critical for high-yielding healthy crops.
Seed rate should target plant population and seedbed conditions. Aim to plant between 35 and 45 seeds/m2. This could be 180-250kg/ha (12-16st/ac) depending on the size of the seed being sown. Try and get your specific seed size value and use this for greater accuracy.
