Glyphosate grass ley standing

[tr250]

I have a field to dd wheat after 2 year ley this Autumn I plan to harvest grass first week in sept. Last year I waited to glyphosate for fresh growth but it lost me time and we had Durban then it was a kind autumn and it looks good now but if I sprayed it standing then harvested then drilled the next day would this work and how long would I need between spray and harvest

This will be 3rd cut so won't be too thick but should keep moisture in soil. What drill you using?

Can't you kill the ryegrass in the wheat effectively ?

Yes it yielded very well got to be careful to feed the wheat as we really pulled some grass off it

You can't say that mixture doesn't produce a large amount of Forage.

We've dd wheat after 2 year grass leys for the first time last autumn. Glyphosate standing grass and then mowed a few days later for 3rd cut bales. Worked very well.

I seem to remember the label rec is for 5 days between glyphosate and mowing. The grass will be half wilted standing up, with sugars concentrated in the leaves. I seem to remember reading that there are only certain glyphosate products that you are allowed to use. If it's not on the label as a rec, then I guess you can't/shouldn't?
