Brassicas short and slight yellow

[dreambig@84]

Would it be too late to add nitrogen to brassicas this time of year in iowa?

I was waiting to see what they looked like after rain and they are more green and less yellow but not very tall and thought about hitting the 1 acre plot with 23lbs of uflex.

My opinion, we are into October the growing season is done.
Would not recommend it

U could hit em yet & probably wouldn’t hurt. If they were mine- I’d hit em & spread rye in there. Farm boy is right but if u say S iowa…. A bit of time left in for this warm weather. Rain sure would be nice too!!!

Why rye over winter wheat?

Why rye over winter wheat?

Rye has allopathic properties that help suppress weeds in the spring.

It also greens up faster in the spring and grows more in the winter.

Wheat isn’t bad especially if you plant awnless wheat.
