Glyphosate again

[Derrick Hughes]

Legal gap after pre harvest is 7 days. Not that much is used pre harvest and I've been and advocate of that use bring banned, however this time Ive used it on spring wheat as a lot of late rubbish has come through it after the mid august storms, I'm sure our northern members need it quite often for later harvests.

Any idea why it's 7 on grain and 5 on grass

Wasnt aware it was different to be honest, never used it on grass before cutting

Often see folk doing a pre harvest spray (don’t know what else it could be other than glyphosate) then the weather picks up and it’s in the barn in the next 2 or 3 days to beat next weeks bad forecast

Is it the same on both feed and milling wheats ?

AFAIK it is, just says pre harvest of the various cereals, linseed needs longer for it to work and OSR IIRC long time since we grew rape and didnt always use it then,

There's always one hero, isn't there . ....

Needs a fortnight after going on a cereal or its a waste of time. May as well go empty and run any tramline greens down.

The comment section on that article is brilliant. Total tin foil hat territory, fantastic stuff!

It kills grass 100 % after 5 days ,I would think tramlines would be easier to kill than tough old grass

So would DD'ing end if Glyphosate is banned?

And is the environmental impact of manufacturing and using Glyphosate less than ploughing?

Could always relicense Gramoxone (Paraquat)...

In cereals to get a decent effect on late tillers etc you want to wait a fortnight after spraying. They might be dead, but to have the desired result of making harvest greens more solid, it wants two weeks.

I envy conspiracy theorists, the world must be so much more exciting when it's being run by satan worshipping lizard people who want to inject you with microchips and modify your DNA.

I just see a lot of idiots.

I was pleasantly surprised many (20+) years ago by the effectiveness of pre-harvest application on feed wheats and grasses before silage and the subsequent shortening of time to planting the next crop, however more recently I was horrified to learn that milling wheats could be sprayed with glyphosate and see the combine in within 3 or 4 days.
Perhaps, just perhaps the massive rise in “gluten intolerance” is actually glyphosate intolerance - Folk have been eating wheat products for 1000’s of years but mass “gluten intolerance” seems to have occurred during the pre-harvest glyphosate period.

Why in the living fudge would someone spray a crop with glyphosate and then combine it 3 or 4 days later? It makes utterly no sense. The stuff takes 2 weeks before it even begins to show it is working. Are people confusing glyphosate with diquat or something?

Not wishing to tar with any brushes but I'd say some big farms with set procedures and lots to do, same ones who spray in gale force winds because when you're 20 miles away from base with 14 hours spraying to get done what're you gonna do? Less flexibility so bound to be the odd job that gets done in less than ideal circumstances.

I have never understood why someone would spray one day and cut 7 days either as the label was clearly written with MRLs in mind rather than practical utility. They must have been using a different roundup or something because every time I recommended it, the stuff took 14 days to even show an effect and probably another week if not longer before the material actually began to dry down/die meaningfully.

You can't realy direct drill without it , and it's better for the environment not to plough , so choose your weapons carefully

it would be better for the environment if you didn't have those fancy cars and driving them all around the country burning fossil fuels for nothing other than a sales pitch to sell your stuff and over feather your own nest,

Indulgent people like you are bad for the environment, very bad, extremely bad , utterly selfish .

i bet you don't find that funny.

Weeds, Volunteer potatoes? Pcn control. Then regarding the HI, an ignorance/ lack of patience.

Farmers are their own worst enemies for doing things like that, I would imagine most sprayer drivers on here like me have had this happen to a crop they’ve sprayed and thought why did I waste my time.
But when they ban it it will be everybody’s fault except the farmers.

Wonder if more animals are gluten intolerant now?
