Don't look too bad to me.
Quick question for advice .
Agronomist want to spray off stubbles before ploughing ,where there is very little weeds , and then spray again with pre -em after drilling .
I'm not sure whether this is right or not as I can't see the point in spraying twice with the expense of sprays . Also I want to get on ploughing as the drill wants to come on Monday ....any advice please ...pm if want to
I did think that, touchdown quattro or the like which is double normal glypho but has super duper wetters and spreaders ready mixed with it. I bet the OPs agro hasn't been affected by the shortages and has plenty of his "special" glypho for his "important" costumersI’m surprised that nobody has asked if it was a ‘serviced’ agronomist yet.
Anybody care to take a wild guess?

Ploughed over well .....even with me on the plough !If it’s grass weeds then absolutely yes. Also what soil type? Will it plough over properly and break up fully burying everything? Or will it slab over like a clay?
Maybe the Agronomist’s company has committed to a large quantity of expensive panic-bought glyphosate…Save your cash, and ask your agronomist for the reasons for the recommendation, particularly as you use the plough. Maybe there is a genuine reason?
Say to him/her, "surely the plough will kill it". On face of it, sound like agronomist is selling you something you don't need. Obvs I haven't got all the facts, but of that's the case, and a good reason for spraying can't be given, then I'd think about if you wish to keep that agronomist.
Maybe there are genuine good. reasons though. I'd question it though.
I wouldn’t have sprayed that either, I’ll generally just do 6/12m around the outside and maybe 24m where there’s going to be a back furrow. Find it stops the ryegrass creeping into the field from the margins.I'm pressing on with the plough ...

But what is the purpose of the splash? I'm only a poor mixed farmer, we only ever use it for couch. Specifically. But we aren't plagued with arabie area grass weed exotica. Seed bank reduction is not a reason imv. Thistles and docks? Need a very high dose of glypho and at least a fortnight, but are better dealt with using the following cereal herbicide anyway. So again, why splash?Save your wonga.if glyphosate was still cheap then maybe put a splash on but as others have said it should have been done a week or 2 before you wanted to plough to warrant the expense of the chem
