Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Urea placed with seed reduced germination, final coleoptile length and field establishment at two sowing depths.
- Intervention effect Urea placed with seed delayed field emergence.
- Intervention effect Flutriafol seed dressing reduced final coleoptile length in the laboratory.
- Intervention effect Flutriafol seed dressing delayed field emergence by up to 4.3 days.
- Intervention effect Applying pressure with a press wheel increased establishment from 28% to 37%.
- Intervention effect With deep sowing (75 mm), barley gave better establishment than wheat.
- Mechanism Barley establishment advantage over wheat is probably due to longer coleoptiles (hypothesis).
- Association Effects of urea, sowing depth, press-wheel pressure and crop species on establishment were generally additive.
- Observation Establishment varied from 3% to 80% depending on the combination of urea, sowing depth and press-wheel pressure.
- Recommendation The authors warn that current practices (urea with seed, deep sowing, flutriafol) could cause establishment problems in winter cereals.
