[QUOTE="Doctor who, post: 1728420, member: 4424"] Of course black grass is a bad thing but I agree totally with the basis of your question. RR crops would be the worst thing that could possibly happen because resistance would run riot. No new chemistry for 10 years ...a good thing right now as growers will have to engage with rotation, diversity of cropping understanding weed biology and cultivation practices to avoid weed problems. If nothing else bg should teach us all (that have it) how easy it is to screw up when farming just becomes a financial exercise, good agricultural practice is a must for the long term even when a spring wheat is less financially attractive than a winter wheat on paper or that it doesn't matter what we do or when because we can spray our way out of it, in the long term we will fail with that approach be it weeds, disease or pests.
