How many l/ha Glyphosate & how many l/ha 2,4D do you need on rape stables pre-drilling
We’d normally use 3 l/ha glyphosate but some rape volunteers are strong
Thanks
Harvest is underway, as is some oilseed rape drilling. With a lot of rain around, conditions should be good to get oilseed rape established.
Despite continued challenges growing oilseed rape, it remains a strong break crop option, giving the opportunity to control blackgrass with another mode...

The Broadbalk Winter Wheat experiment was established in 1843 to better understand the impact of adding varying amounts of manure or man-made fertiliser on both wheat yields and the soil it was grown from. Still running today, the experiment has seen various additions and modifications to help...
Silage field was sprayed this past with with forefront, been assured it’s safe to cut it won’t forefront as the much from the resulting silage will only ever be used back on grassland. But what I was wondering how long after spraying is it safe to cut it ?
Let’s start a harvest 23 thread! So how far do we all think we are from starting? Winter barley rapidly ripening here early start is on the cards. First week of july maybe, rape just starting to lose its greenness also!
Hi
Never grown hybrid barley and wondering in a first cereal position if the yields would be comparable but cost less to grow and be a better bet against grassweeds using lower N ,lower fungicide, possibly lower drying costs ?
what’s others thoughts ?
cheers
Hi, I have a field planted with spring barley at the start of May and intend on putting it in the pit when suitably ripe along with grass silage. What's the minimum spray plan needed to not effect the crop negatively? It will be cut with a chopper without a cracker so will be took earlyish.
Seem to be more of a problem every year around this time.what are people using to take them out or would a higher rate of stomp/picona in autumn be more effective?
We’ve never really seen it before but what started as a small patch on an environmental strip has now swamped 4 acres of crap OSR. It’s a carpet of small yellow flowers atop a small dark green plant that looks like a tomato plant type leaf.
I think I will glypho the 4 acres soon as the OSR isn’t...

Little lad wanted to grow some crops
Thanks
Odd-ball one this, but any views on the above?
Basically I have a lot of linseed to go in, and blw control is not great having lost Bromoxonil.
I have a big set of comb harrows, which might do a job once the linseed is big enough to stand it. I also have a lot of flints, which obviously the...

Although autumn herbicide programmes are working well in most oilseed rape crops, reports of spring-emerging weeds means growers may need to keep a close eye on crops and take decisive action.
Many crops with dense canopies are offering good...
I know I know, its too early for linseed yet by about a month and a half, on normal metrics.
But what would happen if....
Slow emergence?
Flax fb problems?
Poor weed control?

With growing interest in pulse crops, breeders have been working hard to bring forward varieties with better agronomic traits. CPM looks at the additions to PGRO’s Descriptive List, which was unveiled last month.

I assume it’s still warm enough to apply? Some plants only just at 6 true leaves, would 0.5l/ha be ok or cut rate to 0.25l/ha? Cranesbill has 8-10 whorls.
