What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Mark Glover advises growers to focus on micronutrient nutrition in oilseed rape crops this autumn to maximize nitrogen use efficiency. He explains that micronutrients, such as boron and molybdenum, influence how effectively a crop converts applied nitrogen into biomass and yield. This focus aims to build a robust crop capable of utilizing available nitrogen efficiently.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Nutrient decisions made in the autumn can significantly affect the amount of nitrogen required later in the season. For instance, a crop with a lower Green Area Index may require 183kg/ha of spring nitrogen compared to 100kg/ha for a higher GAI, representing a difference of over £100/ha in nitrogen cost.
