[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 7588601, member: 44728"] Put my T2 on our wheats on Wednesday. All bar 1 field of which was DD’d. I Have never seen the farm so clear of Blackgrass. However, the recent wet weather had encouraged some BLW’s, so we added a herbicides for them. Most of the Winter Barley grown as my 2nd white straw crops, were ploughed and Combi’d. Being a Hybrid variety which is very good at out-competing the BG, these fields are almost BG free too. I have to say that the almost completely free/very low levels of BG in the DD’d wheats is a very pleasant surprise. But I still think that it needed the 5 years of Ploughing since we gave up Min-till to get the fields back into a BG manageable state, before beginning to start to move towards Zero-tilling. I’ve just driven down/over to Swansea to see my stepdaughter for the weekend and have passed some shocking BG fields on the way, especially south of Gloucester. [/QUOTE]
