[QUOTE="warksfarmer, post: 1787954, member: 192"] I 'think' we are lucky in the fact that all of the seed bank is currently on the surface. This field was completely bg free 3 years ago and the soil hasn't been moved since. 2 years ago we sprayed off a very small area about 20m x 40m because we found about 20 plants. This year the field was much thicker with it but the decision was taken to take the crop through to harvest (spring wheat) knowing that we would get a seed fall but also know it was on the surface. So its got a cover crop for greening until Jan 1st (think thats the date) at which point it will be sprayed off before being drilled with linseed in April. It will be sprayed at least twice if not 3 times, then we will use full chemistry in the linseed. It will probably go a 2nd spring linseed or a grass. If it goes grass it will be down for 3 years before trying a no till 1st wheat. [/QUOTE]
