Which Clearfield OSR?

Grown PT CL 200 for 4 seasons now - seems to do the business pretty consistently so I cant see a reason to change

Do you now grow them as a matter of course, or just where charlock etc is bad?

I would go that way anyway now.
We found that Cleandra didn't stop the meadow grass.

It's not supposed to do grasses. The Dash adjuvant with the CL herbicide gives grasses a hiding that's all. You still need graminicides.

Graminicides don't do meadow grass.
Cleandra contains metazachlor which does do meadow grass, but in order to catch all the charlock emergence, must be applied too late to control the Amg.
Therefore butisan, followed by cleravo is a much better bet.

I didn't know that about MTZ. Aramo used to be good on AMG but it has gone.

Much difference in price between established varieties and the new ones coming through? Could do with some idea for 10 bags worth. Are there any deals about for seed and chemical package?

Best bet possibly to pick up the two seperately? Clearfield chemicals can be sourced from any BASF supplier - so someone will be sacrificing their margin to keep you guys happy! OSR - Pioneer have a discount system relative to quantity bought and are cheaper by comparison anyway - ring me for a chat 07968 309123.

After my previous comment I discovered yestrday that I can get a joint deal on Veritas CL and Cleranda working with a Berseem clover companion crop. Also delayed payment on offer - so depends what preference you have.

There is still a little Veritas CL left - but it is getting tight now (I understand some of the other varieties have now sold out)

Hi Clive, when do you aim to get your PT200 sown?

 

[Brisel]

My PT229CL is going in early next week. Little autumn vigour plus it's into chopped spring barley straw so needs all the help it can get. 30 kg/ha N as DAP down the spout to help it along.

I am growing ES Aquarel CL from Grainseed Ltd this year as Charlock is a problem on the farm. Its good yielding and the earliest maturing out the other variety's so I can get it off the field after the weather we have had this year!
