Boost Oilseed Rape Yields<\/p>\n
The late, wet, changeable Spring means many crops need boosting after flowering to maximise yield.<\/b><\/p>\n
Trials over a wide range of seasons have shown consistent responses in most crops and late season foliar urea (OMEX Protein Plus) application is now a regular part of the nitrogen management of top-yielding crops. A large series of trials by ADAS for the HGCA reported an average adjusted yield response of 0.25 t\/ha, when foliar urea was applied from mid flowering until 2 weeks after the end of flowering.<\/p>\n
DOUBLE THE RESPONSE<\/strong><\/p>\n The most recent of a series of independent trials with OMEX Oilseed Extra (foliar urea plus magnesium, micronutrients and a biostimulant),\u00a0showed treated crops yielded an average 0.57 t\/ha more than untreated,<\/b>\u00a0and over 9 years, the average of all trials and farmer comparisons is\u00a0a yield increase of 0.61 t\/ha.<\/b><\/p>\n To get the best returns from foliar nitrogen application to oilseed rape, apply 200 l\/ha Oilseed Extra after the end of flowering.<\/p>\n Bear in mind that the average total N applied for the crop on the farm must not exceed the N max limit in NVZs and the base limit of 250 kg\/ha N is increased by 30 kg\/ha for each 0.5 t\/ha expected yield over 3.5 t\/ha<\/p>\n
