Its a long time since I did any arable farming or crop spraying, so please excuse my ignorance.
It has become quite apparent here in France that my neighbour - a good tidy farmer - is getting a BG problem. He doesn't plough but on our argilo calcaire land [chalky clay is the nearest translation, but there's no sign of chalk], he does 2-3 passes with a Kemken Karat followed by a power harrow/drill combination.
I also read on the forum of BG problems in the UK. Back in the day when I was a whippersnapper late 70's we had the isoproturons etc to keep on top of BG.
So what's the UK situation these days - I'd like to have a sensible conversation with my neighbour.
