Companion Cropping

[dontknowanything]

Quite a lot of osr herbicides are approved on winter linseed too like Crawler and metazachlor, but to be fair unless you have linseed in the rotation as a cash crop it shouldn't cause a major problem. Fluroxpyr (Starane) or CMPP knock it stone dead in cereals.

Don't know, Astrokerb, not sure if Galera will deal with it, as that will go on for the vetch anyway?

We aren't growing in cash crop rotation, I've really put it in for CSFB dilution.

Am a little concerned I've gotten carried away with the companion seed rates this year, perhaps I should have lowered them a bit.

Kerb will kill Linseed. So one assumes Astrokerb will to. Clomazone will also do a lot of damage to linseed, probably kill it out right. Bifenox is also known to damage linseed.

Hope to get to sow osr this coming week with horsch co4 with solo tips was planning to sow beans as a companion to the osr but sow it 2-3 inches deep and then sow rape on top after is it easy to kill off the beans in the osr

Will astrokerb take out the vetch we are using in a companion or are are we going to have to use a separate blw come spring, we were hoping the vetch might last long enough to keep the winged rats of the field in January
