Drilled most in to cover crops / or big Spring oat volunteers. Is there any guide to burn down timing. Guess it’s best to leave it minimum couple days to spring back up ?

Advice on the can will be do not apply within X hours of cultivating which is basically what you are doing. My guess is 48 hours will be ample.
 
i spray after drilling
prefer a rain to wash off the leaves and have sprayed the day before wheat showing in the row

if you drill then rain next day the surface seeds of blackgrass will be killable with glyphosate before wheat emerges from 35 mm depth if the seed is treated you have another day

1 leaf blackgrass needs a very low dose of glyphosate to kill it
the 6 tillered or more is the hardest to kill as the 7th and 8 th tiller can get missed as it is not green but not atached to the mother plant

I've got this lot to drill through, I'm still undecided weather to glypho before or after drilling, I think it's just a case of watching the weather and then deciding.

I’ve been drilling into some fairly big covers and been doing it after with the pre em. Worried if I did it before then the weather changed we could end up with a sloppy mess

Did it last year into wheat after OSR, was about knee high. Drilled first week of Oct and spraying conditions were all over the place, some fields were sprayed off before and some after drilling. Couldn't tell the difference.
This cover is the largest I have, was drilled in June into failed linseed. Will be applying a stiff rate of slug pellets soon, too.

As late as you dare ! for us that's sometimes a week (longer for winter beans) but right now with catchy weather and rapid emergence it would be ASAP after drilling

definitely after for beans - there is a big window between drilling and emergence usually

Drilled this today, will spray tomorrow. My hand was forced somewhat as I tried applying Kyleo this morning but couldn't see any tramlines and I'm yet to fit autosteer to the sprayer.

Be careful with Kyle, it needs to be applied 2weeks before drilling a cereal, longer for some other crops
