Are DD drilled crops more prone to take all?

[Sprayer 1]

We have never used the expensive take all seed treatments for second wheats when ploughing and never had a problem, but had a thought that now when planting DD back into the soil where the last crops root is still sitting are we at a bigger risk?

@Simon C says less.

I'd say less too. I can grow DD second wheats better than tillage but also my soil is a bit better now too.

In theory, the soil fungi should be more varied and balanced in notill soil, so the risk should be less.

Take all declines after a few years so non disturbance should help that quicker, not seen any this year or last

Rotation, rotation, rotation.

Err, zero till ( with full stubble retention, no one bales straw except in extreme drought periods like now when everyone is desperate for any income ) is the default farming system over a vast amount of Australia's arable farmland for 20 - 30 yrs.
TBH - it's been years since I've even heard of take all. It used to be a problem many years ago ( when tillage was a lot more common, but that could just be coincidence ) but I think breeding resistant varieties ( a lot of our plant breeding is for increased disease resistance ) & as BTT says above, improved rotations, has reduced it a lot

So no - I wouldn't say it is worse under zero till

The only take-all problem in the valley here is caused by a continuous wheat "rotation" followed by burning stubble and more wheat.
They use a DD but it's preceded by tillage, hardly "no till" as they still fudge around with the soil - but also spray and spray and spray the crops, it's marginal wheat country TBH.

I dare say they will now rape it for rape until that gives issues, then go back to wheat - some people are beyond help....
