Use new tools for better OSR biomass measurement

Farmers should consider using the suite of decision support tools now available to precisely manage OSR nitrogen rates, says Agrii’s digital agronomy development manager Lucy Cottingham. Drone assessments, soil sampling and satellite imagery can all help improve the accuracy of nitrogen recommendations. Thick and lush OSR crops can often flatter to deceive, which is why farmers should take steps to ensure the canopy has the right architecture and is free of disease to make the most of their potential. “Early in the season, you want to determine the variations in biomass to potentially reduce nitrogen applications in the thicker areas…
