Hi
I am setting up a collaborative project to develop a biological method of control for black grass. For this I will be setting up the 'Black Grass Biology Group' where farmers will work alongside our technical team to develop a biological control method ON FARM.
If this sounds of interest...
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!

Some winter barley crops are at a high risk of lodging, if the weather turns wet between now and harvest.
This is the view of agronomist, Richard Owens, who manages a selection of cereal and potato crops in counties Antrim and Down.

Hi,
Picture from my spring wheat field drilled 10th of May. Had 2-3 mm of rain since then, so its very dry. I adjusted the depth of fert this year, and suspect it might have been a little bit too shallow, and as the ground is drying out and the roots seeking down they cant really get much...
I usually top up my wheat crops with their last bit of N around flag leaf timing, but looking at the forecast, there's no rain due for over a week. Looks like the season has turned from soaking wet and muddy to bone dry and cracks everywhere.
It's got me thinking if I'd be better to mix the...

I'm reluctantly growing second wheats again this autumn.
I test seed and try to avoid fungicidal seed dressings where possible. I was horrified to see the price of latitude but I'm not sure if I should really be using it? It would seem in a no-till situation and very early October drilling its...
My N use is usually 100% liquid and as a result includes urea as part of it's nitrogen (as most liquid N products do ?)
I assume the new 2024 rule that prevent urea use after 1st April also apply to liquid fertilisers and not just straight 46% solid product ?
Will liquid product now come with...

I know it’s designed to go on through a spray nozzle but would it still work through a fert bar aiming for the soil? Reason being got some standard N24 liquid to use up and I want to mix it in to use it up.
I’ve been offered a field of wheat that has had no n so far this year. Pictures taken today is it too late to gain any yield boost with expense n I have left. Agronomist says it probably will be too late and it’s looking dry for the next week or so here.
