Side by sides

Furrow do you think there will be a yield drag with 15 inch spacing on cereal crops? I do think the new seedmaster would be a fantastic canola drill but do you think there is an advantage over the traditional 12 inch seedmaster?

Just following up with that thought…

Today

[furrowtickler]

12 in paired row



15 in single row , same seed rate

[furrowtickler]

12 in paired row


15 single row



Population very dense in that single row as expected

[furrowtickler]

The 15 in rows have nearly filled in now

Will be interesting at heading

Nexera 1030 RR , had moderate frost damage on May 31 , June 1 and June 3


Recovered very well after being sprayed for beetles along with Alpine F18

[furrowtickler]

PV 591 right beside the Nexera 1030. Same fertility, seed rates both at 220,000 seed per ac planted 2 days early but had the same frosts .
Was extremely slow to recover and had 30% more loss . Not impressed with this variety and or seed lot . Way to sluggish then prematurely bolted before we could get F18 on
May turn out ok , but huge difference from the 1030

Horsch right , SM left

[furrowtickler]

Horsch at 220,000 seeds / ac , 2.5 lbs/ac


Seed Master SR at 3.5blbs / ac


Both 45CS40 , same seed lot
Horsch has 4 gal / ac Alpine G22 in furrow
SM SR has dry phos in side band at 25 lbs / ac

Nice work Furrowtickler, thank you for sharing.

I grew soft white wheat with 16” centers and was very pleased with yields but never got around to do side by sides.I am curious to see results. The one benefit is having airflow in crop for a little longer.
