Only the outside swath on one headland , if I burn the straw and stubble will that give it a headache

More likely to see the local fire brigade turn up .

Asked me if it had been started from a machine and I
just nodded politely.

In the seed probably

 

[Goweresque]

You have not got blackgrass, you have the most bona fide tax avoidance scheme known to HMRC.

What, torching the entire place?

What, torching the entire place?

Get rid of the doggers

No blackgrass, i dread to think how much it has actually cost if it wasn't there

Did you tip any muck on that headland, as that’s how a neighbour got a big patch. He’s destroyed the area for 3 years running .

Funny you say this. I was thinking this afternoon when spraying T2 that knowing the chemical giants, there's probably a patented chemical somewhere that would wipe it out, and Bayer bought the patent and shelved it.

If it’s your first experience with it then I would suggest pulling buy hand if it’s practical or spray it off now.
In the past in bad patches I’ve topped the area first before the seeds were viable and then spray the regrowth off. Lightly work the area and keep spraying it off. You will find that you will still have it come next year as there will be seeds still dormant. As long as you stop any new viable seeds being made then you’ll be doing the best you can in my opinion.

Zurn top cut collect. Does a good job but incredibly expensive.
