Hyvido barley ears at harvest - shading out black-grass competition
HYVIDO® yields can be boosted above and beyond conventional winter varieties when grown in the right way – applying the correct Nitrogen programme is critical to this.
Our advice: Do not delay!
Apply your Nitrogen in 3 splits (30%:50%:20%)
- Your first Nitrogen split must be applied as soon as you can travel in the spring (approx. GS25).
- Your second Nitrogen split is the main application. This should be applied at or just before GS31, typically 3-4 weeks after the first application.
- Apply the final split 2-3 weeks after the second application.
- If the weather allows, your Nitrogen application programmes should typically be complete by the end of April at the latest.
Why is early Nitrogen application so important?
HYVIDO® grows vigorously in the spring, and therefore it is essential that Nitrogen is available early enough to support this.
Yields have been boosted by up to 1.0 t/ha just by following the correct Nitrogen timings and doses.
HYVIDO® crops with a large number of tillers/m2 should still have early Nitrogen applied as outlined above. Nitrogen is needed to support growth and HYVIDO® will regulate tiller number later in the season.
Reminder about the HYVIDO® Cashback Yield Guarantee
The agronomic inputs and practices described in the HYVIDO® growing protocol, which are both simple and flexible, should be followed to remain eligible for the HYVIDO ® Cashback Yield Guarantee and maximise yield.
