Sprayed the silage ground for docking etc 3 weeks ago, however the grass is ready to cut and giving good weather here in NI. Planning to make Haylage or Hay. Is it to early to cut after spraying or do i need to leave it. Will it affect the Hay / Haylage?. The fertilizer was spread around 5 -6 weeks ago.

It's like spraying roundup on, there needs to be enough greenery showing that's actively growing. Six inches or so should be enough to put it on.
