Getting the Most from Fertilisers as Prices Rise

Rising tensions in the Middle East have once again caused volatility in fertiliser markets, pushing prices higher and creating uncertainty. With these costs increasing, there is renewed focus on ensuring fertiliser applications are closely matched to crop and soil requirements. On this week’s Tillage Edge podcast, Dr Veronica Nyhan, Soils and Plant Nutrition Specialist with Teagasc, discusses current soil fertility trends and how farmers can get the best return from applied fertilisers. Veronica outlines how higher fertiliser prices are encouraging growers to consider using organic manures as a potentially more affordable nutrient source.

Crop agronomy for the next two weeks

With the weather allowing farmers to plant crops and treat winter crops in ideal conditions, the only concern is the harsh wind which was slowing growth. For this episode of The Tillage Edge, Michael Hennessy is joined by Teagasc tillage specialists, Shay Phelan and Ciaran Collins, to discuss how crops are progressing and the key management steps needed in the next couple of weeks. Shay highlighted concerns about yellow rust emerging in crops nationwide, particularly in susceptible varieties in the northeast and he urges all growers to inspect their fields for signs of the disease.

The benefits of pre-emergent herbicides

Planting of winter cereals is now underway, with good progress being made in the north-east, while things are moving a little slower in the south. As crops go in, attention soon turns to weed control. In recent years, growers have faced increasing challenges from grass weeds like annual meadow grass and Italian ryegrass, particularly as resistance to herbicides continues to develop. For this week’s Tillage Edge, Ciarán Collins is joined by Shay Phelan and Vijaya Bhaskar from Teagasc Oak Park to discuss how herbicide resistance is emerging, and to discuss the most effective control measures available to farmers right now.

What does a good rotation look like on your farm?

A year ago, many farmers faced significant challenges due to the unusually wet weather, which disrupted their crop rotations. For this week’s Tillage Edge, John Pettit, a Teagasc tillage advisor from South Wexford, shares his insights into how farmers are adapting their crop rotations to suit both their land and the local markets. John explains that there may be more than one rotation on a farm to account for variations in soil, whether lighter or heavier. He also emphasises the importance of calculating financial margins on the farm to make more informed decisions.

New Zealand's approach to agriculture due to climate change

Mark Gibson was joined by Dr Sinead Leahy (Deputy Director and Senior Science Advisor with New Zealand agriculture greenhouse gas research centre) to discuss how the farming community in New Zealand are responding to challenges presented by climate change. The key differences in their approach was compared to those in Ireland.

Minimising BYDV in crops

BYDV levels are high and it can have a significant negative yield impact in both winter and spring crops. Dr Louise McNamara joins The Tillage Edge this week to chat about the current BYDV levels in winter crops and how to minimise BYDV in spring crops. Louise says it is too late to control aphids in winter crops but almost all spring crops are at a high risk from BYDV and it is critical to control aphids with the correct timing.

Buffer zones – where to put them on your farm

Buffer zones are important to protect waterbodies and Hugh Rooney, a Teagasc ASSAP advisor, joins this week’s Tillage Edge to talk about how buffer zones are necessary and what benefits these areas can bring. Hugh explains that protecting waterbodies from nitrates, phosphates, sediment, pesticides and organic matter are all crucial to help the healthy status of rivers. He highlights the areas on the farm where three metre buffer zones are necessary and also talks about the need for six metre buffer zones for late harvested crops like potatoes, beet, maize, root vegetables, etc. For more episodes and information from the Tillage Edge podcast go to:https://www.teagasc.ie/crops/crops/the-tillage-edge-podcast/ Produced on behalf of Teagasc by LastCastMedia.com

Reduced potato yields with 30% still to be harvested

The weather through 2022 has adversely affected potato yields and a reduction of at least 15% is expected. The very wet weather has delayed harvest and more yield losses are expected from these unharvested crops. On the Tillage Edge this week Shay Phelan, a potato specialist in Teagasc, discusses how potato farmers are coping with the wet conditions and extremely high costs this year. Shay says that there is approximately 20-30% of the potato crop unharvested and higher field losses can be expected. Shay also says that not only will growers spend more money on harvesting and storage of these crops, but the storage losses will also be higher.

Minister Heydon outlines how the tillage sector can be developed

Minister of State, Martin Heydon, TD joins this week’s Tillage Edge podcast to talk about the recently published Food Vision 2030 Tillage Report which sets out 28 recommendations to develop the tillage sector. Minister Heydon says the tillage sector is integral to the fabric of Irish agriculture and is a necessary part for all other areas to work well. He also makes a particular reference to the value of the low carbon Irish grain and how this can support the overall exports from the country. At the same time, he points to the fact that recognition is all well and good, but tillage farmers need to be rewarded for these efforts.
