    ...has given you 100% control? There are plenty of dirty fields out there, but also some very clean ones. Is that cultural as well as chemical? Interested to know others chemical inputs. Me; 1l/ha Liberator 2l/ha CC National F/b 0.4 Sunfire peri-em

    Users are being accused of causing cancer for people and the loss of bees. Is the use widespread on farmland?

    Best shallow, full soil movement tillage system

    Looking for ideas for a tillage system to fit in an existing frame want something compact that moves all the soil but only working an inch(ish) deep. Would be following a low disturbance flatlift. Has anyone much experience of the wavy discs similar to this

    What are the benefits of growing triticale?

    Arable novice here. What are the benefits of growing triticale in an arable rotation? Is it a breakcrop with wheat? How cheap is it to grow, and what yield would you expect from land that would normally do 3.5 tonne per acre wheat? Presumably combined, and the straw is of use too? Many thanks

    When to start putting N on wheat?

    I was always told that February nitrogen flattens crops. RB209 recommends nothing until the start of stem extension, and not before early April, unless it has low tiller numbers. Yet everybody else seems to start chucking it on now and their crops look strong and green where as mine look crap...

    Maximising BG control in spring barley

    Thoughts please. Getting more in it than ideal these last few years. Similar approach required to winter wheat? Later sowing, stale seedbed, robust seedrate? Pre-ems worth it if soil moisture available? Anything else? Don't know if I would dare wait after end of march here. Thanks

    Will aclonifen kill wheat shoots?

    Will aclonifen (Proclus, Bandur etc) kill 0.5mm emerged wheat shoots? I know it's pretty harsh as a chemical and the label states it's pre-emergence only but thought it was worth asking the question.
