[QUOTE="rob1, post: 6366114, member: 332"] IMVHO its entirely dependant on soi type and rainfall, the only way to know is to try it a few times for yourself, we have, and it doesnt here which is a shame as I really wish it would, I think a permanant prostrate white clover under storey is the future with a disc drill with perhaps a dose of something to either kill or temporarily reduce the clover in the drilling zone to allow the crop to get up and away is the future, huge cost savings on weed control and some on N, biggest issue for me is the straw as we want it to sell intothe horse market so want it cut low, its a shame the stripper headers dont work better in wheat as we could cut it with a mower, either that cut just below the heads and hopefuy above the clover with the combine and then mow the field afterwards. Getting into the system is the hard bit, perhaps some fallow with the clover drilled in so weeds can be cut until the clover smothers them especially the BG [/QUOTE]
