Resource summary
Seed Rate
800 ears/m2
Approx 3 tillers per plant
Affects no of ears per plant
Spring plant population = 266
established plants = 296
10% loss over winter
rate = 350seeds/m2
15% loss prior to establishment
less plants/m2 means more shoots/plant
HGCA 2000
HGCA recommended populations
Sept - 62
Oct - 90
Nov - 142
Actual population is irrelevant
Plant will grow to componsate
hence no yield effect
Minimum - no safety margin
Every plant lost directly affects yield
As SR increases...
...Yield increases
...TGW increases, then decreases
Hence quality effect if too high
...HFN decreases and then increases
...grain protein decreases
...percentage of disease increases
as more seeds
No specific weight relationship
Gooding et al 2002
Yield decreases linearly with date after 21st Sept
Green & Ivins 1985
Date of sowing
later date requires higher optimum no of plants/m2
Spink et al 2000
