I think you'd be ok with Pacifica. Some others not.

I don't use Atlantis/Pacifica on wheat if I plan to DD OSR.

We've had problems where Atlantis doubled after dry years. Agronomist says don't use Pacifica before rape as it has more of the active that causes problem than Atlantis. So I would watch out.

We've done it this year, no problems at all that I can see. But it is a tine drill so it does disturb the surface quite a bit.

Seen rape slightly stunted after late Pacifica followed by dry spring and summer. could see to the exact line what was sprayed and what wasn't as only half field treated with Pacifica, it grew away from it tho.

The reason I asked was that Ive just written off 60 acres of OSR.
Not flea Beatle damage, as actually headlands are the only bits to show any promise.
Not slug damage either.
Have spoken to Bayer - have decided the very dry September put it under so much strain that the Pacifica finished it off!!!

Found these pictures both from last year, left side of picture had Pacifica the year before, middle of picture is edge of sprayer boom.. Can see difference in plant size but it caught up quickly.

Very surprised to hear that 60 acres of OSR have been lost after Pacifica applied in April. We do know that it can be risky to direct drill OSR after a late spring application of Atlantis / Pacifica, (autocasting is even more risky). Whilst many growers do get away with this we do get reports of crop thining on the herbicide overlaps. As stated the dry September will also have not helped to get the crop away.

We've had OSR pretty badly affected after Atlantis - won't be using it again. Only a fraction of the rape actually came to a full plant after we had patch sprayed WW the previous spring followed by a dry spring and summer. Heavy ground was the worst affected with some brash hardly affected.
We use a Dale Eco drill so a certain amount of soil disturbance but not into the realms of Claydon etc

Use clear field, it's tolerant of su.
