wild oats

Im sure alot of people have seen the phenomenon when spraying, you kill weeds them more grow next year etc, ive seen it a bunch but never understood why, im guessing now its becuase them chemical kills the microbes and the only thing that will grow is weeds? Ive sprayed gras out on drains with...

Parting ways with our agronomist and the parent company which is a well known, supposedly well respected and reviewed farming/ management service company. Long story short, lack of agronomist visits, agronomy done on timings rather than in field situation, non existent weed control this season...

Is there anything that will do both of these in one pass? Blackgrass has got away a bit so don't think anything will touch it now,other than a knapsack

What are you using to spray wild oats in winter barley?

Didn't do the rolling in Feb as was worried about frosts. Now looking too late to do it.......I've never had to do any stone picking before!!

I’m sure like many we’ve used luximo as pre em and now needing to spend more of the profits !!!! On a contact Used in the past Atlantis -good whilst it worked Broadway star- now no good here as we have black grass as well as Italian Proverb- didn’t see much diff if any to Atlantis Monolith -...

Looking at growing some millet next year on sandy ground low In nutrients it should go into barley but we end up spoon feeding it all year just wondering if it is a viable option and how others have got on we are in the north west of England

Written by CPM Magazine from CPM Magazine Download PDF 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...

What do you do, I have always been 120 keg/ha, but never make malting and so I think I should either up it to 150 kgs and go for yield. What do you find works and what sort of yields are you getting. mine is planet and we seem to be around 6.5 t/ha

I know it’s bin covered time and again but what is everyone using for it at the moment and best place to buy online Only a couple Ha Little lad wanted to grow some crops Thanks

Odd-ball one this, but any views on the above? Basically I have a lot of linseed to go in, and blw control is not great having lost Bromoxonil. I have a big set of comb harrows, which might do a job once the linseed is big enough to stand it. I also have a lot of flints, which obviously the...

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...

I know I know, its too early for linseed yet by about a month and a half, on normal metrics. But what would happen if.... Slow emergence? Flax fb problems? Poor weed control?

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 been caused by a variety of factors, says Agrovista...

A word of caution…. I sold my 2015 Amazone UX3200 sprayer a few weeks ago because it had done 70,000 acres and it was also tactically the right thing to do from a deprecation/tax point of view. i bought it new, and I can honestly say it never once let me down. Ever. I wanted a new Amazone...

I know this sounds absurd. Just under 200 acres. How difficult can it be? But now we are required to be “qualified” in every aspect from agronomy, fertiliser planning, driving various bits of machinery etc and to attend ongoing training to gain CPD points I really just don’t have time to do...

I am wondering aloud. In order to protect the efficacy of Broadway Star and use it less often than twice in three years or every other year what would be the next best spring herbicide to use? There will be wild oats and brome mainly as well as broadleaves. Would you use Broadway Star again...
