[QUOTE="Devil's advocate, post: 6445356, member: 1504"] In my lifetime, I'm 54, I've seen fields go through stages where certain weeds seem to be the biggest problem & that is sorted & a different weed becomes the problem. In the 70's Dad found this terrible new weed that we imported in straw. It was the cleaver we never had any before, I presume because it is quite easy to hoe or comb weed out. The "Clean corn" herbicide of the time bought in steel drums did not touch it. With Starane now used we never see it. We had charlock infested land, where eventually there was no charlock but became infested with Shepherds purse (we are veg growers). This has now been resolved but bindweed & red shank are more prevalant. Sterile brome is number one problem now, I'm not even sure what blackgrass looks like, that could change. [/QUOTE]
