Winter crop agronomy
As the soils dry out, farmers are beginning to venture into fields to plough, plant and in some cases fertilise crops.
Ciaran Collins and Shay Phelan, both Teagasc Tillage Specialists, join Michael Hennessy on this week’s Tillage Edge podcast to discuss winter crops and the agronomic actions which are needed in the coming weeks.
Shay said planning is critical to get the best outcome and this extends to field crop walking and preparing machinery and a nutrient management plan for the season.
Don’t forget, Teagasc is running a series of winter crop walks across the country starting on Tuesday, February 14th, in Teagasc Oak Park Carlow. Click here for more information.
