Hybrid Rye Agronomy Guide
Hybrid rye must be managed differently to population rye. Here you will find an overview, which will guide you through the production of hybrid rye. Down below you can find a guide for download.

Nitrogen fertilisation: Emphasis should be placed on starter application.
Fertilisation
Common practice
*Alternative splitting
Starter application
100 kg/ha – Nmin 0 to 30
/
Flag leaf application (GS 37/39)
/
/
* Favourable splitting, fertiliser is dissolved in soil before spring and early summer drought respectively – good experiences in practice
** Use of stabilised N fertiliser or slurry/fermentation residues
Note: Consider fertiliser requirement calculations
Plant growth regulator
Necessity
Second application if required
EC 31/32: 1 l CCC/ha + 0,3 l Moddus/ha
Alternative: 0,6 kg Prodax/ha
A second application could be necessary on better sites. Field checks!
Depending on disease pressure:
In general one treatment at GS 39/40 is sufficient
(Note: Choose fungicides with a good protective performance)
All varieties are described according to the best knowledge taking trial results and observations into account. No responsibility is taken for the correctness in individual cases as growth conditions are subjected to considerable variabilities.
