Nov, 28 2025Timely weed control and winter crop management are essential for maximising yield and quality in oilseed rape and winter wheat. With supply constraints and emerging weeds, growers should act early, follow best practice for herbicide application, and prepare for spring with our winter crops checklist. Staying organised now will help ensure a successful season ahead.

Nov, 28 2025With the favourable establishment conditions of 2025, many growers are now facing the challenge of managing forward, thick cereal crops. High plant densities, while promising for yield, bring a unique set of agronomic considerations—from root development and tillering to increased risks of lodging and disease.
Dr Dannielle Robb
Nov, 28 2025The 2025 establishment season has set the stage for potentially high cereal crop performance going into 2026, thanks to early drilling into warm soils and robust plant populations. With rapid germination, strong tillering, and innovative nitrogen management, growers are seeing both high yield potential and improved sustainability. Accurate plant counts and tailored agronomy strategies are key to making the most of these favourable conditions.
