Home saved OSR

[rijowi64]

Does home saved osr that has been desiccated with glyphosate have less vigour than a crop unsprayed? Any opinions?

it grows behind the combine fast enough

As above! In the past I have used glyphosate treated OSR straight out of the barn to finish drilling if I have run out of seed, always performed as well as new seed.

 

[JeremyD]

No difference whatsoever. Even hybred seed seems ok! I have run out of seed in the past and have scooped seed off the heap and you can't even tell the difference even when driving the combine harvesting. It does make me wonder sometimes about the cost of seed!

Ours grows ok. can make out the rows 7 days after planting.

Glypho at the correct stage in the past didnt affect germ or vigour but isnt there some rule about not using it on seeds destined for sowing . just clean it hard and riddle out to save the largest and heaviest seed to get better early growth and vigour for any seed

Coming well where a bit of straw burnt, not so obvious where it didn’t burn

I put in 16 acres straight off the heap last year it did 1.6 t acre so crack on I say

It is illegal, according to the glyphosate labels. If you have sprayed it onto unripe seeds then they won’t be viable or have low vigour. In reality, if you have sprayed it off a few days late then most of the seed won’t be affected IMO.

If you are going to do it, it’s best not to talk about it in a public Internet forum. If you’re not, carry on with the thread!

Hypothetically of course.

@Brisel have you dessicated your spring sown winter oats? My tiny trial plot is still turning colour

Spring sown winter oats are turning but not desiccated yet. Hoping they will be ready to spray in a day or two. Did the spring oats last week.

Glyphosate does not stop germination... eg malting barley, what it can do is upset how the plant grows if it wasnt fully mature when sprayed.

I have seen a similar effect in a field where I had a bonfire. The ground was still warm from the heat, so I don't know if it was the warm soil (from residual bonfire heat, or darker soil 'absorbing' more solar energy), or if it was the additional nutrients in the ash, but the rape always looked bigger, healthier and darker green.

There is extra carbon there, you should have lived through the big winter barley straw burning era to see what it did to fallen barley heads and blackgrass seeds... hardly needed a herbicide.

Let's bring back stubble burning and industrial sulphur pollution. Despite a few negative effects, they will certainly help weed control and crop growth
