What chemical options are people using to control black grass in forage maize?
Last year I used PDM pre-em and a nicosulfuron post em but poor results.
Would dual gold or wing -P alongside PDM be a more robust pre-em option for black grass ? I know they are not cheap!!
thanks
Just thinking aloud here..
Getting on for spring barley,maybe better off with something else.
Thinking a couple of ton of grain maize off the 10a might be better.
Would be all fed in house to beef.
Can sow it with the combi,
Have small conventional combine header to cut it(if it will do it)...
Using touchdown quattro and rainwater .
Spraying ploughing before spring cultivation,
Is adjuvant (LI 700) worth it or needed .???
shouldn't need water conditioner with rainwater.
Any disadvantages or risks to growing potatoes after Sugar beet on well bodied black land? Not had potatoes for 7 years previously , low PCN count . Potato varieties will be Agria and Maris Piper
Thanks
Whats this AB6 he was on about, leaving stubble over winter and get £522 pounds a hec. Been trawling through dozens of gov. uk pages where they say a lot but typicaly tell you nothing. :rolleyes: :facepalm:
When should such a mix be drilled?
Planning on trying some for the first time this year, spoke to the agronomist about it a couple of months back and thought the job was sorted.
When he rolled up here about 3 weeks ago, turned out it wasn’t. Ordered and still hasn’t rolled up, spray to burn the...

Have several fields where leys are starting to get tired, I would like to perk them up a bit.
Would prefer not to plough out, how successful would hammering with grass harrows in September and chucking seed on?
I do realize weather would be dependent.
Any downfalls?

Farmers planning to get back into oilseed rape growing this autumn on the back of sustained high commodity prices should invest in husbandry from the off to ensure maximum return – with pre-emergence weed control strongly advised to ensure crops get away well.
That’s the advice from Agrii...
We have a big issue with grass weeds and it’s getting worse. We are ok if we have a big spread of crops but it simply just doesn’t pay due to poor yields of spring crops such as spring linseed, spring barley, spring beans spring wheat. We’ve also tried grass but without our own livestock we get...
Anybody know if Squire Ultra herbicide will kill dandelions? Bit of an infestation here in grass but don't want to wipe out the bit of white clover too. The label only says docks and some broadleaved weeds. It doesn't specify which weeds.
Early application key to combat broadleaved weeds in potato crops
Early season application of contact herbicide Shark (carfentrazone-ethyl) to potato crops can give performance comparable to diquat, according to FMC Commercial Technical Manager Jeff Fieldsend.

Have been wondering recently if there is any scope to reduce glyphosate rates and add wetter/penetrant type products to improve efficacy. It never seemed cost effective in the days of cheap glyphosate but now it is 4 times the cost maybe it is time to look at them again. Does anyone have any...
Spring cereals switch demands herbicide strategy rethink
Farmers abandoning winter cereals and switching to spring wheat and barley will need to pay close attention to broadleaf weed control if they are to prevent significantly reduced yields.

Weed control in autumn sown leys
Broadleaved weeds emerging in new-sown leys will reduce the amount of grass that can establish. To optimise the investment in reseeding, farmers should get rid of these weeds by spraying herbicide as soon as the grass shows three true leaves, says Dr Nicola...

Agronomy firm Hutchinsons is urging growers to push on carefully with follow-up grassweed herbicide treatments as long as conditions allow this autumn, rather than risk delaying control until the spring. Mild weather combined with good levels of...
We I didn't get my beans sprayed..... was going to apply kerb and pdm post emergence however agronomist is concerned that the kerb will knock yield... which is a real pita. So the other option is pdm followed by centerium max. I have low levels of bg
