[QUOTE="Cutlerstom, post: 6773200, member: 15572"] Been looking at the AB15 option too. I've read on TFF several times that direct drilling wheat into a sprayed off grass crop isn't successful. Why is this? Alleopathy? or grass weed regrowth issues? I've heard beans is the best option, but I was hoping to avoid the slightly unreliable "spring barley-winterbean" 2 years of my rotation. Replacing it with a guaranteed net margin of around £380/ha seems good on paper, but then if you can't go into a 1st wheat after a 2year legume fallow building fertility it seems rather a waste. Also, is it in violation of NVZ if we don't plant an N hungry crop following a legume/grass Ley? The other question I have is - does anyone know how much applied N you could reduce a following wheat crop after this option? (if you could get a wheat crop established!) [/QUOTE]
