[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 7754199, member: 44728"] Thanks for that. Got another question which you may be able to help me with please: We are at the end of our 5 year Mid-tier stewardship agreement, part of which was a few very bad Blackgrass fields that were in GS4, Herb and Legume-rich Pastures. The theory being that they release an enzyme the supposedly kills BG (though purely the fact that they have been it it for 5 years, should help anyway!). I am moving the GS4 to the next worst BG area and will plant the existing area with Wheat. We have just taken a 2nd cut off it, but there was bugger all, because it has run out of steam anyway. I don’t want to plough it because being in grass, the soil is in good nick. So plan to Weaving GD DD drill straight into it. Question: It will need a good dose of 3 or more litres Roundup Flex to kill the grass, legumes and Chicory in it. We deliberately didn’t cut it short, so as to keep it green enough for the Roundup to work. WOULD YOU do it before it is drilled (if so, how long do you leave it before drilling?), OR drill it and put all the Roundup in with the pre-em? I remember seeing something similar on one of they DD threads last year which worked incredibly well. I can’t remember who posted it and whether or not the Roundup’d it pre or post drilling into the sward. Perhaps [USER=3357]@Warnesworth[/USER] could also give his opinion please? Or anybody else familiar with DDing? [/QUOTE]
