Plough beans in very deepWhy can't we have some crops that are autumn drilled and spring germinating? Lots of weed seeds are capable of sitting in the ground over winter and popping up with perfect timing in spring. No spring moisture loss, compaction or disturbance, pass with the sprayer before they emerge as usual, would solve a lot of problems
The advantage of later planting is lower weeds and disease
My later planted spring crops hardly need any fungicide
Herbicide is based on the field history although late drilled spring beans with chopped straw on the surface on land with little history of spring crops have low spring weed seeds and low disturbance notill does not uncover any fresh seeds
