Consider Redigo Deter seed treatment for aphid control for planting up to early October and even later down south and in coastal areas. The benefit decreases as we plant into October.
Drilling winter barley
Drill winter barley at up to 350 seeds/m2 or 160kg to 190kg/ha (10st to 12st/ac) depending on seed size; winter wheat at 200 to 250 seeds/m2 or around 125kg to 140kg/ha (8st to 9st/ac); and winter oats at around 350 seeds/m2 or 130kg to 150kg/ha (8st to 9.5st/ac).
Roll post-planting to help germination, establishment, pest control, residual spray activity and prevent root roll lodging. Where possible, roll across hills to help prevent water erosion down the wheel tracks, but only roll if ground conditions are good enough and they may not be.
