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.

Another cover crop question, planting green into tall cover 1-2 ft Could shading be a problem for the next emerging crop.

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

Sprayed on day 7 -8 there’s still a day or 2 safe days left if they were needed. Hope it works ok.

if you canot see the green shoots of the wheat it will be fine
if glyphosate could get growing shoots underground black grass would be less of a problem !!!!

What about winter beans I’ve always done it pre drilling in the past but any reason y that can’t be done with the pre em 2.

Know people who’ve used 0.5l/ha glyphosate post emergence

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

I’ve Sprayed one cover crop off before drilling, may never dry out now,going to do the others with the pre em.( Winter beans )

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.

Once that lot gets Rotting & into the soil it will be fantastic. Have you done that before

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.

definitely after for beans - there is a big window between drilling and emergence usually
Be careful with Kyle, it needs to be applied 2weeks before drilling a cereal, longer for some other crops
This isn’t a criticism but how would you get rid of all that trash effectively without glyphosate?
