[QUOTE="Dog, post: 7560180, member: 89978"] Up until now we have not had a problem with black grass. But one field seems to have got away on us. It’s first wheat after osr and would expect it yield about 10t/ha. There is not enough grass to effect the yield but too much to pull by hand. The area is about 12ac which would be about 4% of our total wheat area. The field has not been ploughed for 3 years. what would people do who have had previous experience of this. My options are a) harvest the crop, clean down machinery, plough ASAP and drill wheat as late as possible or spring barley b) glyphosate, get as many chits as possible and drill wheat as late as possible or spring barley c) might be an option to whole crop it but black grass has headed and would need cutting in a week or two so there won’t be much of a whole crop yield.
