Going sowing Tamerin SOSR. 25kg bags but no mention of how many seeds in bag. Roughly how many kg to the acre should I plant??
2kg per acre for Tamarin.

Just sprayed the second half of a field for an neighbour, very variable and poor.I was hoping to let the oilseed ripen itself this year as it is early and have too much spent on it so far but the recent rain has brought out the branches that should have been out earlier but did not due to the heat and drought. Short pods, less of them, no branching until now and tiny seeds does not make for a good return.
It's sad to say that you can almost walk anywhere in the crop with little difficulty at this time of year. As a matter of interest what did you spray with?Just sprayed the second half of a field for an neighbour, very variable and poor.
The field is split in 2 late and later sown, the first 6Ha was sprayed nearly 10 days ago with generic Glyphosate and Iskra? pod seal, the latter 4Ha was with Round-up Max and Iskra.It's sad to say that you can almost walk anywhere in the crop with little difficulty at this time of year.

It should have been sprayed earlier but last week was not suitable for spraying and I harvest the previous week. The pods are almost ready for harvest. It should be ready a little sooner than using Round Up, I could be wrong.The field is split in 2 late and later sown, the first 6Ha was sprayed nearly 10 days ago with generic Glyphosate and Iskra? pod seal, the latter 4Ha was with Round-up Max and Iskra.
How late would you get away with planting Spring Rape? Thanks.

What conventional varieties of SOSR are available this year?
Have gotten on OK with hybrids but it rules out swatching and the low seed rate means any early set back can be devastating.
The market...or the industry?From what I can currently see, I don’t think there will be any conventional varieties in the market this year, the market looks to have moved to hybrids.

There’s more money in hybrids...
I’m trying to organize a non hybrid variety of maize to try and give myself the option of keeping HSS and it’s almost impossible to get more than one...amongst hundreds of hybrids.
Funny that.
Feck.From what I can currently see, I don’t think there will be any conventional varieties in the market this year, the market looks to have moved to hybrids.

Should be plenty there I’d say NashWhat is seed availability like or is it a bit early to say at this stage?
Had you it dessicated or just leaving it ripen itself?Got to the field, but the stems are too green, the chopper kept getting blocked, leaving it till Monday.

There would be, but I have seen too much straw this year to even dream of trying to save very green SOSR straw at the end of September.Is there not a market for rape straw for burners.
