[QUOTE="britt, post: 638362, member: 1739"] I've only got one field of wheat after WOSR this year. 5 acres of the heaviest ground was sprayed off 3 weeks before drilling as it has bad blackgrass (which I didn't want shaded by the rape). It was drilled on 3rd October with a big disc. Spray off the day before or day after drilling. After 5 days the seed in the sprayed off area (which has always been bad for slugs) was being hollowed, but where the rape was still green the slugs were on the top eating that. For the slug to force their way down into what I thought was a well closed slot was surprising. The spayed off area got a full rate off pellets, the rest half. The pellets dissapeared pretty quick. The whole field needs doing again now that the rape has died off, as the wheat is being shredded. Monitoring is the key. Yet again I think folks are confusing "notill" (opening a slot for the seed and closing it again) with "direct drilling" (pretty much any cultivation, then planting as long as you only use one pass direct into stubble).
