Bear with me on this, I'm no agronomist, and just thinking out loud....!
Seeing as a lot of the blackgrassy land in the south east gets lathered in SU's. This land subsequently gets drilled with OSR using minimal disturbance methods, thus the resulting OSR crop can get stunted by the residual SU's.
These same areas are also high CSFB pressure areas, is the stunting effect of the SU's exasperating establishment where CSFB is nailing the emerging plants?
Would switching to Clearfield varieties that are SU tolerant help due to them not being affected by the residuals, thus growing away from the pests?
Or should the ground be cultivated prior to drilling standard varieties??
