Care needed to tackle weeds without damage

摘要

The snow and rain have departed and we have had a good drying wind for a few days, so much so that many fields could be crossed without making a mess.I am always very wary of encouraging my growers to get out with nitrogen if the ground is soft - if you create big ruts now, you have to live with them all season.That said, most oilseed rape crops could do with some fertiliser now, and I am recommending 40-50% of the nitrogen with as much of the planned sulphur as possible for the first dressing.
