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.
For many arable farms, fieldwork taking place...
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
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...
I drilled 15 acres at the end of March obviously went very dry hardly grown looked properly today not vernalised it was a gamble but now I know. Variety Gleam.

Docks are known to be one of the most troublesome grassland weeds, but did you know that leaving them in your silage this summer could have implications for next year’s weed control?
Short-term, the presence of broadleaved weeds in grassland will limit grass yield and...

In recent weeks, slurry and fertiliser spreaders have been a common site in the fields, and on the roads in rural Ireland, as spring finally kicked into gear with the favourable weather conditions we are now experiencing.
As a result, grass growth has started to pick...

I have been topping some arable land for a neighbour for a couple of years now. He done nothing with it since harvest 2016.
He claims bps as fallow.
I thought this was meant to be after stubbles.
The land is now wall to wall grass weed and broadleaved weeds.
Can you claim bps fallow on that??
In my opinion sowing now is high risk with uncertain weather and undoubtably going colder , so , I'm thinking how's about mid - end of feb , moves some seed and the only risk is vernalisation , could be a better gamble ,
Decisions , decisions .
