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

Looking to catch a favourable wind and sail the high arable seas is the new malting winter barley from Elsoms, Buccaneer. CPM hears about how this variety is setting a course to try and fly the flag for both the malting and feed markets...
NIAB TRIALS POINT TO EARLY WEED REMOVAL
As many growers seek to battle bigger grass weeds this spring, results of new NIAB trials, in partnership with Syngenta, have shown the essential importance of targeting ryegrass and wild oats early with Axial® Pro, to cut crop competition and deliver a...
So below is a silage aftermath that had all gone to seed after the drought so we cut and baled it.
I'm just abit concerned that there appears to be quite a few residual grass seeds left over.
The plan would be to direct drill winter wheat into this stubble after it has been burnt off with...
Italian rye-grass is one of the main weed species in cereal crops. With infestations steadily spreading across UK farms, AHDB Crop Protection Scientist Kristina Grenz explains how herbicide resistance management should be front of mind this autumn.
Italian rye-grass v black-grass
The first cases...
Wild-oats, of which there are two wild species, are one of the most competitive grass weeds (more than twice as severe as black-grass), with just one plant per square metre able to reduce cereal yields by as much as 1%.
The problem
As with any weed, prevention of seed production should always...

New research by NIAB is set to help growers and agronomists make more effective decisions on spring grassweed herbicide application timing and treatments. The trials, in partnership with Syngenta, will assess the competitiveness and risk of seed...
We are considering growing a combination of peas and barley, or peas and oats this spring on some fairly light land. We mill all of our crop ourselves so separation is no issue. I assume barley would be the better option as it matures earlier? Oats would be nice as they are quite cheap to grow...
What rate to guarantee wild oat control in spring barley if crop is GS30. Given moisture will 0.6l/ha do or do you need 0.82l/ha (equivalent to old Axial at 0.45l/ha)?
Hi folks, just been granted consent to plant some spring barley on SSSI. Unfortunately they have refused consent to let me use Ally Max as a herbicide as they deem it toxic to bugs etc. They have asked me to submit application for consent for alternatives. Thought the collective brains on here...
