This winter barley was sown on 27 September at 6.25 stones per acre (94.7kg/ha), the crowd was told at the Glanbia field walk. It was a full crop with up to 700 ears per square metre – more than enough for a six-row crop.
This crop was after winter barley, following wheat, and it was dressed with Latitude. It was also treated with Redigo Deter, but received a further two aphicides, one in late October and the other in late November.
Fertilisation was similar to the wheat, with two splits of P and K and a total of 171 units N/ac (213kg N/ha).
