Producing nearly 9t/ha of wheat and hitting the Group 1 milling specification from just 164kg/ha of nitrogen fertiliser is possible, according to trials. This was despite the crop being drilled in late October and enduring a challenging season. Agrii's Green Horizons team has been investigating how best to improve the nutrient use of milling wheat in a series of trials at Agrii's Stow Long Technology Centre. The 2020-21 trials involved a mixture of second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth crops of Skyfall in a continuous wheat block, following permanent grass and wildflower mixtures. Crops were sown at 375 seeds/sq m in late October and received identical crop protection and micronutrition programmes.
