Spread the word on fertiliser
He told the recent tillage conference that if the incorrect rate is applied, grass or crop yield is lost or fertiliser is wasted, and crop or grass quality can be reduced. In cereals, crop lodging causes greater losses. Variations within the spreading width mean some of the crop gets too little, some too much.
Uneven spreading is obvious if green striping is seen in the crop or grass, but losses are also incurred at lower levels of unevenness where no striping is visible.
