If you spray it off now most of the seeds won’t be viable. This is your best course.Seeds are evident .
are you sure
Two friends locally had same problem with BG. Used break with forage crops and into spring cereals. Did my sheep good, did ground good and helped clear up problem.. both of them now doing it as part of rotation. Win winin 2015 my ad maize was riddled....also bits in cereals....all my indices were 0......switched to sheep and spring cereals...ditched rt.....been harder work....lost some money....BUT....havn't seen any BG since and indices back into high 2s
not 100% sure i'd recommend it though TBH
If it’s just a headland tramline, rip it up and put a grass reseed in for few years? Save the risk of spreading it…
I asked an old spray man, he said there used to be a chemical that could make black grass go blind, I wonder if it’s still useable if they relaunched it?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.
Well there we are folks. In a rather astonishing and radical departure from the norm, the answer to many agricultural questions in life appears to be, can you believe it- 'get some sheep'. Never thought I would see the day.
we have two patches of rye grass now because of that exactly where bsler dropped first two bales and a bit round the headland
sprayed it off first time it’s now beet and had averdex and c max
we will see what pops up in wheat next year when sown again will be nuked again
Doughtfull that is trueFunny 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.
Yes meant averdex in the wheat , ooopsAm pretty sure there is a typo in your post and that you remember fondly the days some years ago when you could legally use Avadex on the UK Sugar Beet crop. Wouldn't want a casual reader of this forum to take wrong impression a sugar beet farmer in UK used an illegal chemical like those forinners do!
Perhaps some cows too? Get plenty off both and rotate them round the farm, do the soil good.Well there we are folks.

For many years a lot of arable men have scoffed at the thought of having sheep on the farm, but increasingly grass and sheep in a rotation are being seen to offer a valuable alternative to constant cereals.Perhaps some cows too? Get plenty off both and rotate them round the farm, do the soil good.
Little bit of everything, perhaps we could call it Mixed farming?
