It depends if there is some seed under ripe at the time of spraying, but roundup spraying reduces yield anyway so not bothered here for at least 20 years.Home saved our seed for last 3 years. Used roundup, astrokerb. No problems yet.
It would be hard to tell if they only had 50% germination though.Combine losses always seem to germinate well enough
Up here not to roundup osr would be a bold move, but yield must take a penalty. Out of interest how many days later would you be cutting compared to a desiccated cropIt depends if there is some seed under ripe at the time of spraying, but roundup spraying reduces yield anyway so not bothered here for at least 20 years.
Yes totally but surely the point of home saved seed would be to spend less time establishing the crop and just double the seed rate as the seed cost is minimalIt would be hard to tell if they only had 50% germination though.
A week is neither here nor there and well it’s got to go through the drier anyway, but up here in north Scotland you could be nearer a month I reckon, it takes three weeks for roundup to sorta work,,,,,,, thick green stems are hard work to harvest, but having said that I may trial a tramline with no glyphosateAbout a week I reckon
Yes thats what we did.. (flee beetle put a stop to growing it) but never roundup-ed, oddly 90% of the seed mix was home saved and never had a flea beetle problem, then once the ban came in we lost the crop.Yes totally but surely the point of home saved seed would be to spend less time establishing the crop and just double the seed rate as the seed cost is minimal
Be gentle with the thrashing, its thrashed before it gets to the drum so get it out the back without smashing the stems and you will be OK.A week is neither here nor there and well it’s got to go through the drier anyway, but up here in north Scotland you could be nearer a month I reckon, it takes three weeks for roundup to sorta work,,,,,,, thick green stems are hard work to harvest, but having said that I may trial a tramline with no glyphosate
