so what happens when roundup, glyphoshate becomes useless ? the weeds that are continually sprayed, ie blackgrass become resistant to it ? we learn over the years that wonder products that are used all the time to treat things such as antibiotics, wormers, rait baits etc, by using them the very...

Found this really interesting: Strobilurin affected nitrogen use efficiency in Durum Wheat grown in Italy. https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4395/10/10/1508/htm Didn't realise strobs had a biostimulating effect directly on the plant.........

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.

I have always used Nitrogen plus sulphur prills on wheat/barley etc but this year our agronomist has come up with a recommendation for 46% Urea Limus. I have no experience of this and wondered what the advantage is perceived to be ? Is it good to spread? Some independent opinions are always...

Does spring wheat grain take more drying than Winter wheat???? normally by this time of year no need to have fans on. so in a 3.2m deep store with a wooden floor and 50hp fan with gas burner and humidity sensor which has been on since early september, the change in moisture appears to have...

Direct drilling on heavy clay soils is tricky. There is a lot of great advice out there, but from those on many different soil types. As direct drilling hinges on soil I thought it would be useful to have a thread based on heavy-ish clay soils alone. just to kick it of; we have a Weaving GD...

Beans have beaten my pre em spray. I'm mad with myself. Drill guy told me they were in 6 or 7 inches. Turns out it's nearer 3. Went to have a look today with a view to spraying tomorrow and there's 40 -50 % emerged. Gonna drop the kerb but I'm tempted to go with the clomazone. Agronomist seems...

After another wet backend I've about given up with the rapid..... it's a real pita in wet Octobers. Still a great drill and I'm intending on keeping it as you cant have too many drills seeing another post. A guy local to us has a solitaire 9 which looks a great drill. Its main job will be...

How will this affect UK growers ?

Is anyone here currently running one of these? Anything to look out for? Pros cons. I know of one guy who is running a 2.6 ton 6 meter and is very happy with it. Currently running a 5 year warranty and 5 year 0%finance offer so maybe instead of buying a second hand telehandler this might be...

I read in the Farmers Guardian that the NBA are suggesting the age at which cattle can be sold as prime beef be lowered to 27 months to allegedly reduce the carbon footprint of beef production. Firstly I completely disagree with their calculations as slower grown grass fed beef actuallytakes...

Probably should post this under the DD categories but felt it may not be viewed by non DD folk. Been soil sampling on a couple of large direct drilled farms recently and consequently dug a lot of holes. One of the farms was about 1200 acres, been direct drilling for about 15 years. Stubbles...
