A tricky start to planting plus the potential of growers managing unfamiliar varieties due to short seed supplies means weed control could require some careful planning. CPM explores herbicide timings and programme choices for the season...
How late have people gone, and still got a successful crop, obviously so many variables but interested in experiences had....direct drilled into terminated cover crop too.
Putting some MOP on a couple herbal leys this afternoon and there's quite a few volunteers mainly behind the combine.
It's two years ago that it was in OSR.
What to do about it?
Top them as they are coming up to flower?
Would rolling put them quiet?
I want to mow the fields for silage ideally.
Arable farmers need to rethink herbicide strategies following 2024’s wet start
With some fields still under water following widespread flooding in January, farmers will need a robust herbicide plan in place as they battle to catch up this spring.
A wet autumn delayed drilling of many winter...

A pre-emergence residual herbicide for broadleaf weed control can now be applied in field beans and combining peas.
The authorisation for Emerger (aclonifen) will be a welcomed addition given the low number of pre-em herbicides currently available for...
Looking at spring beans as a break option for some failed OSR this coming spring. Has anyone experience growing? Heavy land. Understand a fairly low input break crop and have a market for them local. Toying between that and a kings soil structure mix saw good results five years ago the...
Got a block of OSR that unfortunately has charlock in it which came in the seed:(.
I’ve got some Fox to put on to take it out which I was planning on putting on tomorrow as due to be. -4 tonight, then -3 tomorrow night.
Just wondering though how cold it needs to get down to for frosts to kill it...
This is Iris fodder radish from @Great In Grass which has grown well. This is the most advanced plant, with most still flowering. Will it set viable seed now? These pods have immature seeds at the moment.
It's chuffing windy
I want to go drilling.
I have some big weeds (groundsel, thistles) but not many grassweeds in the seedbeds yet.
From memory you're only allowed 1.5lts of 360 post drilling.
Is gly with pre-ems a waste of time?
Thanks!
Under request from @Bokey I have decided to dedicate a thread to the trials and tribulations on the farm, I shall endeavour to splice the good with the bad. A bit about us, 600 acres all told, 450 cropable, 8 years into organic, mainly arable with a few wooly critters, an impatient old man and...
Morning
Presumably most are still planning on planting wheat in the next month or so.
With current prices and profitability what’s everyone’s thoughts on pre em choices and rates ?
cheers
Never grown them before, recovering OSR grower. Which is a good winter variety and what seed rate if ploughing or Claydon drilled please? Any other advice welcome.
In today's agricultural landscape, there is a growing need for sustainable practices to produce increased crop yields whilst minimising the impact to the environment.
Farmers play a key role in addressing these challenges and face various pressures, such as reduced availability to chemicals for...
Normally I nuke it with glypho.
But some old neighbours always use to leave it to ripen naturally.
This year, as ever, timing of the glypho looks tricky. Some is green, some is dead and will smash out under the sprayer belly.
It hadn’t ripened progressively up the plant. Sims have died off...
I know it's very early still, but looks like my neighbour is making a bit of hay on a small field that he lets people camp on.
Couple of others seem to be underway with haylage.
I've just been and mowed 8 acres that is going to be haylage for a chap this evening.
It will be at least 10...
