Rape sitting in cold wet soils is suffering a little. Pigeons are having a little feed, we will be making GAI assessments in early Feb and think about early fertiliser to get it going along with stimulating root exudate.

A forward piece of raoe
Wow what a root.. Just what we want to be the foundation for production.
Some of these plants are too far forward and will need some regulation.
Phosphate shortage
Recent cold wet weather gas brought on symptoms of nutrient deficiency.
Phosphate and magnesium along with manganese. See next blog.
Manganese deficiency
Treated seed has held out very well this year with high brix readings. But the recent colder weather has changed the redox potential of the soil and we are now seeing the first signs of manganese deficiency in the crop.
Application required with some urgency. Don't forget to include humates.
