[QUOTE="Spud, post: 8922698, member: 78"] I tried this last year Two fields back to back, always the same crop normally, but one was winter beans in 2021, the other springbeans. We Mzuri drilled both with the same variety of wheat the same day. Light pre em (no grass weeds) Frost took out the spring volunteers. The winters survived the frost, and all the way to harvest. You could say the beans were variable rate - when in reality, one end of the field is heavier than the other - the beans were smaller at the heavy end and more went over the back of the combine. Anyway, no difference in wheat yield, and 220kg beans from 3ha. The field is 3.6ha but I succumbed to cleaver pressure and sprayed 6m around the perimeter with Starane to knock them out! The work involved separating the beans was not worth any perceived gains, be they environmental or financial. [/QUOTE]
