Level II Agricultural Business Operations

 Understand and identify the key crop production targets  Be able to state performance targets for individual crop types  Gain understanding of factors affecting crop performance

 Lets us see what is happening  To compare different crop types or enterprises  Alerts us to problems  Identifies areas for improvement  Required to assess profitability

Key targets to achieve good yields?  Sowing Date  March – April  Earlier - Better?  Inputs  Seed rate  Fertiliser  Sprays  Harvest  Harvest late August onwards  Yield = 6t/ha  Moisture content =14.5%  Specific weight = 62-65kg/hl  Timeliness!!!

 Sowing Date  Mid September to mid October  Inputs  Seed rate  Fertiliser  Sprays  Harvest  From late July  Yield = 7t/ha  Moisture content =14.5%  Specific weight = 65-68kg/hl

 World Record t/ha  Sowing Date  September to November  Inputs  Seed rate  Fertiliser  Sprays  Harvest  End August onwards  Yield = 8.5t/ha  Moisture content =14.5%  Specific weight =70-74kg/hl

Spring OSRWinter OSR Sown mid Aug to early Sept Harvest Early August Yield - 4.0t/ha World record 6.14t/ha Break Crop Sown March-April Harvest Mid September Yield - 2.5t/ha Moisture - 9% Oil Content – 42-45%

 Break crop for wheat  Winter or spring sown  Yields ◦ Winter 7.5t/ha ◦ Spring 6.0t/ha  Expanding milling market ◦ Moisture – 13.5 % ◦ Specific weight - > 50kg/hl ◦ Free from odour ◦ High Kernel content

 Market dictates Variety which determines yield ◦ Earlies ◦ Processing/packing ◦ Locally marketed  Planting - ◦ Seed rate affects tuber size ◦ Planting date  Harvesting ◦ Depends on market ◦ Handling at harvest has big effect on potato quality

Setting seed rate & crop establishment

Grain Yield = Grain number X Grain weight

6 site/seasons , 4 varieties, 5 seedrates,UK, (HGCA, 2003)

 Grains per ear  Tillers per plant  Plants (m 2 )

To calculate Seed Rate (kg/ha) we need to know Target plant population Expected establishment % Thousand grain weight

Target plant population will vary with: Establishment % depends on:  Variety  Sowing date  Seed Germination %  Sowing conditions  Soil type  Location

Use Certified seedGermination Test Home Saved seed Adjust seed rates by date for autumn sown crops Use nutrition and growth regulator to manipulate shoot numbers

 Target Crop Yields  Output/performance targets cereals  Importance of Timeliness  Target Sowing dates  Target Harvest dates  Potato quality parameters  Components of Grain Yield
