November photo comparisons Photos taken 6th November & 24th November 2020. Plot 1 – Forage Rye No major differences in growth. Plot 2 – Berseem Clover Significant upright growth, covering more ground area. Plot 3 – Crimson Clover Growth can be seen between the two visits, but as the clover exhibits very prostrate growth, this has been harder to judge. Plot 4 – Radish type 1 No real differences in top growth, but the roots have developed quite deep. There was a visible line where the crop had responded well to the Poly fertiliser, with more leafy matter above ground. Plot 5 – Fodder Radish Some top growth, there are visual differences between the two radishes above and below ground. These bulbs are slightly larger if a little shallower. Plot 6 – Spring Vetch Some growth across the plot, but not significant Plot 7 – Winter Vetch The plants seemed to have bulked out a little more, offering a lot more ground cover. There was also a visual colour difference between the Spring and Winter vetch, with the winter being a more vibrant green. Plot 8 – Buckwheat Has been knocked back quite a lot by the recent cold spells – but no hard frosts as yet. The crop looks thinner and some plants are senescing. Plot 9 – N Fixer Growth has shown more ground coverage across the plot, with the vetch being the more There has been good growth across this plot, with the oats progressing nicely. They have also responded well to the Poly fertiliser. The vetch is still present at good levels and shown further growth. Plot 11 – EcoCover The mustard continues to flourish in this mix, slightly swamping the rye element. In the parts with the Poly fertiliser, there is very little rye to be seen. Plot 12 – Green Reward The mix is still looking great, with the wide range of species holding well. There is plenty of biomass above ground, although some leaves are showing signs of yellowing. dominant species. Plot 10 - Sprinter
