New advice aims to raise yields in spring oat crops

摘要

Much-needed trials work on spring oats has revealed how farmers can get even more yield from the crop, including a 0.6t/ha lift by simply tweaking fertiliser applications.Last year was a disappointing one for spring oats, with many crops being drilled too late in April and then suffering in the summer heat.As a result, some of the agronomy trials findings from 2018 should be treated with caution, says Brin Hughes of miller Richardson Milling UK.
