Sequencing ag-chems for spring crops this year

Spring crops will develop quickly in the shorter season and timing of the necessary inputs will be difficult. Shay Phelan and Ciaran Collins, Teagasc Tillage Specialists, join this week’s Tillage Edge to talk about sequencing the critical inputs to crops.

Shay says growers should be cautious about nitrogen rates to ensure malting barley quality is achieved, and Ciaran talks through how to sequence herbicides for broadleaf weed control and canary grass control.  

These topics will be discussed in more depth at the current round of crop walks. Further details on these Teagasc Spring Crop Walks is available here.
