Direct drilling and kerb

[Thomas Simpson]

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.

I've not had a problem in the past with min til after Kerb

 

[Brisel]

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.

I DD some spring barley in to standing beans this spring so had winter bean spring barley combi crop beans had kerb all grew no probs

When was the Kerb applied? It should have gone on pre emergence, so October.

never had an issue with it


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

I find Kerb fine but I think I've had my fingers burned with either DFF or SU with OSR post winter barley

 

[Brisel]

Osr grows away from DFF damage. I'm less confident about SU damage, especially metsulfuron methyl.

Thats the culprit then, maybe...

 

[Thomas Simpson]

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.

How long is the interval between the Kerb and drilling the cereal? For over 12 months I'd say you'll be fine.
