How does crop nutrition influence oilseed establishment

The role of crop nutrition in the successful establishment of oilseed rape

In this webinar, Natalie Wood Yara's arable agronomist is joined by Sarah Kendall, Principal Research Scientist for Crop Physiology at ADAS to discuss how to achieve successful oilseed establishment from the basic principles of oilseed establishment through to autumn nutrition in general and the role of micronutrients. 

Topics covered include:

Sarah will discuss:

  • Basic principles for oilseed rape establishment

  • Pros and cons to early and late drilling

  • Insights from the Oilseed YEN

Natalie will discuss:

  • Seed treatments

  • Autumn nutrition

  • Micronutrients in autumn

followed by a live Q & A session

Available as an on-demand recording

The live webinars took place on the 6th of July 2021 but don't worry if you missed it as the recording is available below to watch on-demand.

Grow the future | Spring arable nutrition |
Spring barley needs to gain momentum quickly
Spring barley nutrition is no different to any other crop but growth happens a lot quicker so the focus has to be on maintaining its momentum and ensuring nutrients are readily available when needed.
Grow the future | Nitrogen and sulphur fertiliser| Agronomists in wheat field
Applying nitrogen and sulphur together just makes sense
Combining nitrogen and sulphur together increases nitrogen use efficiency so means more for your money with less wastage.
Grow the future | Compound CCF fertiliser | Agronomists in wheat field
A compound fertiliser is so much better than a blend
When you apply nutrients using a complex compound fertiliser (CCF) you avoid the risk of segregation and uneven distribution that you get when using a blended fertiliser.
Grow the future | Spring arable nutrition |
Spring nutrition must keep crop momentum moving
When winter cereals begin spring growth keeping that momentum going should be the main focus of the spring nutrition strategy
Grow the future | Cereal micronutrients | Agronomists in wheat field
Cereal micronutrients can prevent yield losses
If you supply your cereal crops with exactly the right micronutrients where and when they are needed this will prevent yield losses or quality reduction due to deficiencies.
Grow the future | Potato nutrition
Better nutrition improves potato yield and quality
Making sure your potatoes are fully supplied with all the nutrients they require is the best way to improve crop yield and tuber quality
