Barley volunteers in wheat

[teslacoils]

By February and volunteer barley's are going to be thicker than Prince Andrew, and just as tricky to get rid of.

If it’s as bad as you say can you not sell straight to a pig farmer to mill himself. How many ha are you talking about?

150. These are no ordinary barley volunteers, these are Lincolnshire volunteers. The truly sad thing is the numbers bring home the field losses due to wind in late August. A veritable forest of barley. Hey ho.

Topic 0.25 lt/ha + Cropspray 1 lt/ha + Lanbdastar applied October 30th. Barley plants damaged. But showing regrowth as can be seen in third picture. But it has knocked them enough for me.

No. Beast from the east maybe. Otherwise forget it IMO.

 

[teslacoils]

What frost?

 

[APJ]

How about grazing it with sheep?

I wish.

No sheep. Farm would not entertain sheep paddling about on heavy clay. And the barley would simply grow back again once sheep taken off.

Cos then you'll need lots and lots of their fungicides and PGRs.

@Heathland has grown some nice spring barley sown in Dec.

Drilling spring barley now not far from the Caythorpe NIABTAG trial sites. Are we wrong?
