What sort of rates of 360 g/l Glyphosate will destroy an NUM3 cover crop? Would it be better to roll it before spraying to help the plants take up the Glyphosate better ?

Depending how well established if Clovers present Glyphosate alone may not provide a satisfactory kill - though that is open to your personal opinion.

Clover will come through that but will be well checked. That's not necessarily a problem, in moderation, as there will hopefully be some N fixation happening. Unlikely to come through typical autumn/spring herbicides.
If all the legumes do similar, not so attractive. There will be be an off label solution.

Kyleo might be worth spending on for this job.

If it doesn’t cover it up.
I’d have thought it best to leave as big a top as possible to get it to take the chem in but I’ve tried killing NUM3. It will need more than glypho anyway. It doesn’t kill clover in grass leys here. I’d have thought Kyleo was the thing. But it won’t quite kill cranesbill here.
Just top it and plough it properly and have a clean start

This. Although those on clay may find that there soil has gone rock solid.
I found that NUM3 that wasnt topped hard before winter ended up a complete slugfest.
oh dear , i wish our's was a crop it look's fantastic! i hope the bloody wheat does in 12mths time
Did you drill it with the Horsch ?oh dear , i wish our's was a crop it look's fantastic! i hope the bloody wheat does in 12mths time
no combi.
Out of interest, when is the approx date to get shot of NUM3?
ASAP
1st sept so agrono say's , enough time for a chit of bloody ryegrass i hope
Based on my experiences over the years of various "cover crops" I wholeheartedly agree....
Used early applications of total herbicide witha derogation when I have had "injurious weeds", on the basis that flail topping might harm wildlife.
By the time I flail/disc, everything is brown and crispy....
Helpline said 1st September, as the aim is for flowers in spring/summer.
Summer is deemed finished at the end of August.

the hard to kill clover will not be too big a problem with early established wheat
i find that slugs are a bigger problem where they have nothing to eat other than the crop that is planted
if wheat seed is planted with soil around it slugs will eat the clover and be happy and then once the wheat is well established it is past any yield damage
slugs with no other food keep hunting till they find the wheat
planted on the green into big thick osr volunteers the slugs do not find the wheat
the same can apply to clovers
