I had a demo of an Avatar drill in October. We drilled WW straight into straw removed wheat stubble and then continued onto cultivated ground. Compared to a tine drill and Vaderstad in the same field there is a huge amount more slug damage, both on the stubble and cultivated ground. Nothing was rolled. In a year where the only slug damage I have is behind the Avatar I am surprised and disappointed. Exactly the same in some winter barley drilled partly by Avatar, partly by Vaderstad in the next door field. The thought of having to treat every acre for slugs by going DDing, or even buying and Avatar/750A/Horizon is not endearing me to make the change.
Fields are a very long time out of rape and 40-50% clay.
Thoughts please.
