Getting rid of miscanthus

[Superted820]

Does anyone have any tips on how to get rid of this crop. It’s been in for several years and the rhizomes were harvested roughly 10 years ago. The ones left behind have been harvested for the cane since the. We now want to put it back to grass. It’s been sprayed twice now with glyphosate. Thinking we’d flail top it a couple of times before ploughing, but I’m guessing it isn’t going to be easy.
Any help would be appreciated.

We did some a few years ago for someone. They had it harvested as normal in the spring. Then when it was just sprouting again it was sprayed off. Chisel ploughed and disced a few times, then drilled with ryegrass. We had 3 cuts a year for 4 years.

Then sprayed off and back into the rotation.

Put it into italian ryegrass and keep cutting it. Some shoots will emerge, when you destroy the ley let the shoots all come up at least 12 inches tall, the whack with full rate glyphosate + adjuvant of choice.

You will get the field clean.
