Black-grass

[Trial Officer Barney]

I am looking for a winter wheat field (not yet drilled) with a moderate to heavy blackgrass infestation for a herbicide trial—preferred locations: the North East or North Yorkshire. (and a 2nd site in the South Midlands: Northamptonshire, the northern parts of Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire and the western part of Bedfordshire.) Please get in touch with me for further details if you have a suitable field or know of one. Thanks!

What's this new herbi that we don't know about

What's this new herbi that we don't know about

Well, it's supposedly the latest and greatest—a new formulation that claims to have fantastic control against blackgrass. But, of course, we can't prove it because, as usual, the weather is having a good laugh at our expense and keeping us out of the field, not being able to test it.
So for now, it's like a mythical creature—everyone's talking about it, but no one's seen it in action yet!

Now we are looking for non-crop fields, 0.1ha, (minimum till, -or - conventional) with known black grass issues to test the product.
