So we have some established docks and thistles etc that I want to get rid of.
Knapsack and quad sprayer.
Grazon pro.
Doxstar Pro.
Pastor.
Thistles.
What to use?
Rather have something that will work on all rather than just one weed but does it do as good a job?
What would a suggested seed rate be, normally 100kg wheat per acre
So 10/15kgbeans? And drop wheat or not?
Plan is to spray beans out in spring and combine wheat.
Pre em suggestions?
Normal wheat pre em is my suggestion as if I plough beans down pre em be weaker by time they are through?
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
Probably won't be looking at SFI until next year, but wondering if anyone has a plan for companion crops.
What companion in which crop, will it work with herbicides, will it leave any profit? Payment rate is only £55/ha.
Seen the latest proposals and I think it's better to be in than out , also learnt today mid tier will be incorporated in to SFI
So what are you doing , think I'll have a pop .

Had a brain fart and can't remember how you work out how much herbicide to mix into a 600l sprayer full. It should be applied at 3.5 litres a hectare and using the sprayer at about 300 litres a hectare

I hope an arable farmer can please give me a clue about this problem before I speak to Luke Cropwalker. Ploughed out grass in spring. It was a great job, and the herbicide seemed to work. Barley looked good.
