[QUOTE="steveR, post: 7430756, member: 66976"] I put an IRG and brassicae mix in last year to give some late bite, anticipating burning it off in the Autumn and drilling a herbal ley (HL). Owing to unforseen circumstances, I still have the IRG standing and now growing away... And no HL gone in! I was going to drill the HL next month, but not now able to, so as to meet a change in Scheme rules, and the HL needs to go in NOW. Dreadful timing but.... needs must. Obviously, I do not want the IRG persisting in a no-input HL!! So, spray out the IRG and DD the HL in? Or DD and then spray before emergence, which will be a week or two in this time of year. DD the HL into what is in effect a cover crop, and graze hard in the coming weeks before the HL gets going, and stop any IRG seed setting? DD into HL, and then mow a tall stubble in early May, then mob graze... Basically, as a novice with IRG, how controllable is it, to stop seeding? All ideas welcomed hugely :) [/QUOTE]
