[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 6290668, member: 54866"] If the seed bed is already nearly there I would not worry about rolling it, I think unrolled lets rainfall percolate through the soil profile faster but obviously that depends on soil type. I would always pre-em every acre of maize because its basically the best way to do it, the chemical arsenal for maize is changing and it is far better for the crop to have much lower levels of competition. It also helps keep the crop cleaner all season and will end up with a cleaner stubble at the end which may be important for people who want to put grass or wheat in behind it or those with long term weed burdens they are trying to manage. It is however more work for an agronomist to check maize repeatedly that has been treated pre-emergence. You can generally save a good deal of money on any post emergence application as the weed spectrum is much smaller and the weeds are always sensitised anyway. Also the cost of the yellow peril is so small I can't see any valid argument for not bothering. I can tell instantly which maize was or was not given pre-emergence treatment just by driving past the stubbles in the autumn. [/QUOTE]
