[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 3349840, member: 166"] I expected better from you. You've also ignored my other posts about viable alternatives :rolleyes: 3 years ago I was growing 4 crops in the rotation. 3 were winter crops (wheat, barley & osr) all with neonic seed dressings. The 4th was spring barley with no insecticides at all. Now I grow wheat with Deter but the rest don't have any neonics. Ok, so I would have used neonics if I could still do so. Half are spring crops with preceeding cover crops grown without any insecticides. Happy now? Ask what former osr growers in Herts/Beds/Essex/Cambs are doing for bees these days. If I can't grow crops without pest protection i.e. profitably then I won't grow those crops. Not very sustainable. So, what is the better way? [/QUOTE]
