Teagasc Crops
Ирландия
Добавлен 12 фев 2020
Through its integrated crops research and advisory services, Teagasc underpins the Irish tillage industry in its provision of high quality food/feed for processing.
Harvest results from around the country
There is a good proportion of the harvest completed and this week on The Tillage Edge podcast, Teagasc Tillage Advisors, Ciara O’Donovan, Conor O’Callaghan and John Pettit report on the yields in their areas to date with all three reporting good yields from spring barley along with reasonable straw yields.
There was agreement that winter cereal and winter oilseed rape yields were generally disappointing, with winter wheat, which looked to have potential, giving a poor yield.
All of the advisors put the low averages down to thinner crops with bare patches due to the poor weather all year.
