Cutting grass after roundup

[Gander]

I wasn't sure if this was 'cropping' or 'livestock' so put it here...feel free to move it.

I've got to burn some grass off prior to ploughing for wheat. How soon after putting roundup on can I mow it for silage, or graze it? Im in a bit of a hurry. Thanks.

3 days,

There should be a harvest interval
Think it depends on different types of glyphosate

The label says 10 days or something daft, there would be nothing left to cut by then,

Why ask the question then?

Why do you need roundup if you are ploughing it?

Why do you need roundup if you are ploughing it?

To kill it, not everything will be buried especially on headlands, good chance to nail any docks etc properly.

And to help plough it if you don't have a full set of discs on your plough

But whenever you plough you will probably bring up more dockland seeds than you bury anyway!

Because tractor drivers don't make a very good job of ploughing......... they go for quantity, not quality !!

Cut some 3rd cut 3 days after roundup applied. Now ploughed and in wheat, just waiting Ito see if it can survive the bloody crows!

roundup is a good investment when ploughing old grassland, gets rid of a lot of weeds n also less cultivations nedded

Could be.

Isn't it a bit late in the year?

the OP wants to grow wheat, not grass, but grass seed would still be ok now if conditions good, bit late for clover
