[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 6519584, member: 44728"] I’m not sure about this “leave your rape stubbles and let the volunteer rape attract the CSFB” malarkey. They were certainly there. ....I say were, because I’ve ploughed all mine up now and squashed the little feckers. I do believe there may be some merit in the low disturbance Zero till method that [USER=55812]@cotswold farmer 1977[/USER] uses to establish his rape in discouraging the CSFB. However, having tried and failed to establish rape properly with a Min till approach, I have gone back to a system that always worked for me, being ploughing and combi drilling in in close rows. I find that a good dose of muck before ploughing acts like rocket fuel to the rape, such that it outgrows the CSFB The only fields that were effected by CSFB this harvest for me, were the 2 that didn’t get any muck.
