How do you guys control blackgrass in the OSR if dd the following crop with wheat?
I have had no issues following a dose of Kerb or Astrokerb. It is not that persistent, hence Corteva recommending growers wait until soil temperatures are low enough.

On the flip side, I have never seen Atlantis residues cause a problem in DD osr either. Metsulfuron residue is a different matter though.

Oh I thought that kerb/astrokerb were not permitted in dd/no till due to label requiring cultivation afterwards:scratchhead: or is there a kerb type product with no cultivation on the label?
I can’t recall seeing any label like that? Might be wrong. Are you sure it wasn’t in case of crop failure you must cultivate etc?

Do you know how to post a link?
Link to? I can’t download the kerb one to my phone but I’ve got the centurion one here; to be fair it may say what you’re suggesting

…are you using a disc or tine direct drill? I’d say you’d be fine with a tine. Oh and I’m a poet and didn’t know-it.

You would have to look at the label for your propyzamide product but IIRC all the ones I have seen say you must plough to a certain depth. Yes, technically you would be in breach of the label by not doing so. I'll have a look for some formal information when I have my resources to hand tomorrow afternoon e.g. the half life of the molecules

Ring your local Corteva rep and ask for his off-the-record opinion. Then post the result in here! :cool:
