Grassweed burdens in winter wheat are higher than usual in many areas this season, leaving many fields requiring additional control measures to protect crop performance and reduce grass seed return to the soil, warns Agrovista.
The problem has...
I was sceptical about the need for plate meters and sward sticks, but I am told they are very useful when managing grazing.
I am then interested in precision grazing which concentrates more on time scales.
I see I can now pay to get pasture remotely monitored and future predicted...
Toward more sustainable tropical agriculture with cover crops: Soil microbiome responses to nitrogen

Anyone had prices to change a telehandler recently?
The second hand is strong, not far off what we paid for it new, but the new is frightening at around the £100k mark.
At 4000 hours with bald tyres they want £40k to change, so £10/hr. Wondering how this compares with machines with more or...
With wheat already in the ground and an ex farm harvest price of £223 has anyone done a rough gm budgeting for say 3.2 ton an acre of feed. By the time fixed costs have gone in too with diesel at say a £, are we now in negative territory?
I’ve thought about this for a while but there seems to be a growing interest amongst some of us to try and lower our costs and finish cattle off forage alone.
Obviously there are many who don’t feel this way and thats grand but i think it would be of interest to have a discussion on how folk...
A new adjuvant, specifically formulated for use with residual herbicides, has gained approval from CRD. Interagro believe this latest addition – Backrow Max – to its ranks of specialist adjuvant products is set to become a crucial weapon in the armoury to help growers battling grassweeds this...
Hello mates, me and my father have been looking to buy a combine harvester for quite a while now. He's keen on getting something like a Claas Dominator 88 because everyone says they're a great one, but to be honest for me they're too old. I was thinking of something up to the range of 75.000€ ...
Grass-Weed Control Key Considerations
Perhaps more than any other application, risk management is a key consideration when applying pre-emergence herbicides.
Neither the crop nor weed has emerged, so decisions around risk are required to manage the field appropriately to the conditions and...

can anybody tell me where the grease nipples are on a 2014 936.
Operators maintenance manual makes no mention of greasing as far as I can make out. The index is mostly missing despite having consecutive pages. Chocolate teapot comes to mind.
I have only found 6 nipples (on the rear linkage). Is...
How does high levels of trash affect the efficacy of pre ems?
Drilling into a rape stubble with a Sky drill with lots of trash and volunteers so not much bare soil to target.....
Planning on a generic Liberator and some glyphos following the drill.
Westerwolds is new to me, drilled 2 weeks ago after barley.
Pic taken couple of days ago and it’s starting to shift now. And been mild and wet last couple days in the balmy south!!
How soon do people graze it? Hoping to put ewes on in about 8 weeks.
What level of percentage control does something like a disc get on chitted stubbles?
we’ve got some grass weed fields that have greened up nicely but we won’t drill till mid October onwards so do I glyphosate now and then again pre drilling or do we disc now to kill the growth (does it though...
Hi
Heard a lot about Sip on here but never spoken to an owner.
I'm seriously considering the 340 (3.25m) silvercut plain mower.
Got a few quotes and it's been whittled down to that or a plain kuhn, will either be the 3.1 or 3.5m.
3yr warranty for sip gives confidence. Anyone running them...
