So we’ve only got Defy - see attached, but having applied this in the autumn we’ve now got ryegrass come back through so we must be resistant to that as well.
Tried ploughing and it doesn’t work.
Tried No-Till and that doesn’t work.
Tried spring crops and they aren’t working.
Tried maize and it made it worse - possibly a combination of ploughing and herbicides.
Always clean in potatoes if the soils light enough to grow them but you can’t have pots every year.
Last time we tried avadex on winter wheat it made little difference but never tried it on spring wheat direct drilled?
The problem is getting worse not better.
Where we’ve had BG before we’ve successfully controlled that via spring cropping but this approach isn’t working for ryegrass.
Short term grass has helped BG massively as well so wondering if it’s worth a try with RG? If so what type of grass seed to use that will produce decent silage and hay whilst also combatting the ryegrass weed issue.
