With moving to more direct drilling with a disc drill do people still use kerb in osr? We cultivated with the carrier before drilling this year after astrokerb. The label says ploughing after kerb.

No problems here. Technically if the label says plough then you must plough, but I've never heard of anyone being pulled up on it by an inspector. I wouldn't risk DDing spring barley after a failed osr crop that had been treated with Kerb or Crawler though.

never had an issue with it


I do worry about late applied SU's though - could they be restriction yields some seasons?

Just trying to decide if we either kerb and cultivate or miss out the kerb and direct drill into the osr stubble. We haven t got bg bad just odd bits which are rouged, more brome but fusillade just deal with that.
