RAPID-MEDIUM AUTUMN
GROWTH HABIT
Seed rate should target an even plant stand of 25-30 plants/m2 in spring.
Ensure the Green Area Index is accurately determined at the start of spring growth to guide appropriate nitrogen rates for optimal canopy size. Lodging risk with DK Expansion is low but there may be a benefit from PGR use to optimise the canopy structure.
Light Leaf Spot should be monitored and treated as required.

BENEFITS
