Without doubt worthwhile this year (passed the Labrador height / value test !) - seed was sub £10/ac

Doesn't seem to cause an issue, have had big covers of volunteer oats the last few years and no problemsFantastic growth there, but do you think the oats might increase the risk of BYDV? Therefore is an aphicide planned or not?
I often see BYDV on the upper leaves of my oats in the cover crops, this year seems an exception though.
