I assumed it was this years germinating in my bean stubbles......Last years seed is growing well in my winter beans stubbles. Which kinda goes along with the reported fact of only 20% was good to go last autumn.
I've had fantastic control this year, to the point I was pleased and was considering winter wheat again. However, the turf coming up now, even in a patch that's been burned off 5 times since last autumn, has convinced me to follow them with linseed as planned.I assumed it was this years germinating in my bean stubbles......
Either way the fudgeing beans want cutting ASAP followed by a light disc.
I had good control in the beans and barley too so perhaps they are last years seed. Haven't burnt any patches off to be sure as you can have a bit of BG below the canopy in Winter beans and winter barley.I've had fantastic control this year, to the point I was pleased and was considering winter wheat again.

Need to apply lots of chems then including autumn atlantis . Then of course that will allow some spring stuff to keep the seed bank nicely topped up for next year.Dick Neale/Hutch are also saying low dormancy this year, according to the latest FieldWise newsletter.

Thanks for your link @Steevo , interesting...
Low dormancy happens when you get a hot spell as the seed matures, which we did.
