What chemical options are people using to control black grass in forage maize?
Last year I used PDM pre-em and a nicosulfuron post em but poor results.

Cows have to be out , no plan B.
Strip grazed and back fenced daily.
Ground sodden so cutting up.
What would you do?
Will it recover?
How best to speed recovery if it ever stops raining?
Just wondering if there's any further information out yet as to what constitutes no till in the eyes of SFI?
Is it a dts/mzuri/claydon direct into stubble?
Or is it going to be lower disturbance tine or disc?
Supposedly a claydon grain and fert meets the grant spec with the leading tine applying...

It can seemingly be controlled reasonably well with SU's in wheat, but Its the OSR stage of the rotation thats letting the area it covers expand, and Astrokerb or Belkar don't seem to touch it, neither has a test with Korvetto (Arylex...
