    Cranesbill in winter barley

    I’ve got a problem with large cranesbill in winter barley. The barley was direct drilled into wheat stubble which had received 4L/ha glyphosate a few days prior to drilling. Unfortunately it would appear that large cranesbill won’t die from glyphosate. I’ve now got dinner plate sized cranesbill...

    EU vaccine role out.

    I read an article this morning say the ultra efficient EU are having problems making the AstraZeneca vaccine in their factories. Instead of fixing them they are saying the vaccine from UK factories, that are not having problems should be sent to them. So Britain can do something right? Perhaps...

    Spring ryegrass herbicide options

    I dont really pay much attention to ryegrass herbicides but will need some for this wheat after stewardship. Best option for ryegrass, ideally not Atlantis style, and what conditions and timings? Wheat had 0.6 liberator plus avadex preem. Do any of the mixes do blws too or better options for...

    Adjuvant advice

    Hi Lads ,, I know this subject has been covered before but can anyone tell me if there’s an adjuvant that covers all so to speak! I spray @ 95—100 Ltrs per ha and have used Kantor and torpedo 11.... I’m thinking mainly fungicides... validate any or much different to torpedo? Thanks for any replies.

    fence clearing with a flame gun

    We have allot of fencing that running through wood land and inaccessible areas - never liked brush cutters in that they seem to take allot of time. Normally I walk with a bill hook keeping the worst of the brush and brambles back. The other day looked at a sheen x300 flame gun. Ironically had...

    Spring barley volunteers

    How much Roundup VISTA plus 450g/l glyphosate to take out these volunteers please? OSR drilled Saturday 22th August, rained 25th August. How long have I got before OSR emerges? How long between glyphosate and OSR emergence safely?

    What are the benefits of no-till farming?

    Reading other peoples horror stories about harvest elsewhere on the forum, I'm minded to keep my head down as things don't seem too bad here. It's not been a record breaking harvest (and we've still got a fair bit of spring wheat to cut), but things haven't gone too badly and it's been a cheap...

    Roundup on skin

    Hello, at my job as a gardener, I spray roundup 5-6 times per year from 9 to 12 o'clock in the mornings. I accidentally spilled about 300ml of roundup on my skin twice. The roundup was diluted (200ml of roundup to 8l of water). I took a shower 2h after the accidents. After the second accident...

    Glyphosate wetter

    Soz, I know this has come up many times, just can't be bothered searching. When using cheap glyphosate at say 3 l/ha what's a cost efficient wetter to use with it? Everyone has been enthusiastic about LI700 from memory, what sort of price is it currently and what rate? Any other options?

    Secondary growth in Oats

    2020 is the season that just never stops giving. My Mascani oats have decided to grow again and are going greener by the day. They were the only crop that I managed to drill in good time but came into ear whilst still below my knees. Now with a wet spell after the spring drought they have...

    Wild oats in Spring Barley

    I have a block of land in SB, HSS drilled with the Freeflow straight into overwintered cultivation after it greened up and was sprayed off. Seed came from very clean block on a separate farm, the aim was a cheap grow. Where I drilled has historically been bad for wild oats, so I succumbed to the...

    Roundup/generic and 2,4D??

    I have been less than impressed with Kyleo this Spring, cleaning up an old Stewardship OWS and Birdy mixes. Possibly it was a little dry at the time, but it was gutless against a mass of wild clover and Mugwort. I have another 4ha of teh same to take out in a few weeks time, and wondered about...
