Winter Linseed Monitor Farm 2023 - JE Chamberlain
October
The crop is starting to grow on after an initial slow start due to the dry soil conditions. There haven’t been many good spray days and as a result Centurion max will be applied in the spring for blackgrass. Heading into November Falcon and Difcor are planned for the volunteer cereals and to keep disease out the crop.
In October rain was recorded as 100 mm and temperatures are currently averaging 12.7 °C (see Sencrop weather data below).
September
Variety: Attila.
Crop was drilled 22-24th September into a good seedbed with good seed to soil contact. Pre-emergence herbicides applied were Callisto and Backrow on the 28th September. It has had low amounts of rain since, we seem to have missed the heavy downpours.
In September rain was recorded as 35.6mm and temperatures are currently averaging 14.6 °C (see Sencrop weather data below).
