Getting crops off to the best possible start is essential to optimising yield and profitability.<\/p>\n<p>The old saying \u201cwell sown, half grown\u201d still rings true. Regardless of whether you are using the latest shiny drill, or a 40-year-old Massey 30, a good seedbed is critical. This is particularly important when it comes to optimising weed control through residual herbicides, along with managing the slug risk, which prefer a loose cloddy seedbed.

In this case the seed rate is critical. Work this out using the thousand grain weight of your seed. There are large variances between varieties and batches, so don\u2019t just assume 200 kg\/ha will be right. It will likely be wrong on all accounts.<\/p>\n<p>The first phase of crop development is termed \u201cthe foundation phase\u201d. In this stage the focus is developing both above and below grown biomass. The below ground element (roots) is extremely important and often overlooked.<\/p>\n<p>The ADAS YEN project highlighted that crops with a higher biomass in spring generally went on to yield more than those without. This should not come as any surprise given the first pillar of yield in number of ears per square metre. However, like any large structure (e.g. a large bridge or a high rise building) the crop needs a strong foundation to support that biomass = the root system.<\/p>\n       <\/div>\n\n   <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id='block-full-width-block_24f2cdf2905982ebe7c7f8f155fc9f11' class='full-width-block pt-8 lg:pt-24 pb-8 lg:pb-24 bg-primary relative' data-content-colour=\"light\">\n\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"absolute right-0 bottom-0 h-3\/5 md:top-0 md:bottom-auto md:translate-y-0 md:h-full object-cover 4xl:right-[calc(50vw-960px)] z-[1] opacity-10\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omex.com\/uk\/wp-content\/themes\/omex-2024\/public\/img\/x-simple-text-background.svg\" alt=\"Omex Logo X\">\n    \n    <div class=\"container relative z-[2]\">\n\n       <div class=\"max-w-4xl\">\n            <h2>Strong Roots, Stronger Crops<\/h2>\n<p>It is well documented that plants with a large root system have enhanced crop growth and yield.

However, as we have discussed previously the availability from the soil is limited by a number of factors including soil pH, where phosphate is locked up by aluminium\/iron at low pH and calcium at high pH. The second factor is soil temperature, as soils cool, phosphate availability reduces. A final consideration is the fact phosphate does not move far within the soil profile. Therefore, early in crop development it doesn\u2019t have the root system to find that phosphate.<\/p>\n<p>This is where phosphites can help. Phosphites have been proven through many scientific studies to increase rooting. This has also been backed up by many years of field usage. Phosphites are rapidly absorbed by the leaf (bypassing those negative soil interactions) and tricking the plant into thinking it is short of phosphate. This in turn stimulates lateral root production. As above, this bigger root system supports the crops biomass in the spring, delivering higher yields and increased profitability.<\/p>\n       <\/div>\n\n   <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id='block-imagetext-5050-block_d4e172171dc29da2ab5a6479d72b9065' class='imagetext-5050-block pt-0 pb-0 bg-white' data-content-colour=\"dark\">\n\n    <div class=\"container md:flex items-center  md:flex-row-reverse\">\n\n        \n            <div class=\"md:flex-1 relative md:w-1\/2 md:max-w-[50%]\">\n\n                <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"693\" height=\"522\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omex.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/kickstart-graph-.webp\" class=\"w-full 1 \" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.omex.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/kickstart-graph-.webp 693w, https:\/\/www.omex.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/kickstart-graph--300x226.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 693px) 100vw, 693px\" \/>                \n            <\/div>\n\n            \n        <div class=\"md:flex-1 pt-[34px] md:py-0 lg:py-14  md:max-w-[50%]  md:pr-8 lg:pr-20 xl:pr-36\">\n            <h3>Kickstarting Root Growth This Autumn<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.omex.com\/uk\/products\/kickstart\/\">Kickstart<\/a> from OMEX has been proven through independent scientific studies at The University of Nottingham to deliver enhanced root growth over competitor products.
