Many people not rolling cereals this year?

[T Hectares]

Check out the first 4 words of my post. The manganese is an interesting point tho…we do have deficient land but again; you’re not ‘not’ going to put manganese on irrespective of rolling are you??

You will still put on Mn, you will still put on PGR, you may reduce some of these inputs and either save or increase some tillers so if pushing stones in is important you may gain a few fringe benefits so it’s not recreational in those situations, in really bad Mn def situations rolling can make a massive difference imho rather than just pouring on Mn
I think with the rain we have had most of the soil where the wheat is here is too firm to push flints in anyway so we won’t do anything this year

How long would you leave rolling to spraying Atlantis or the other way around?
got a bit of late drilled wheat that didn’t get pre em that could do with rolling and spraying.

For herbicides, two, preferably three weeks is safest.

Better get on with one or the other then

Unless you have stones; I really can’t see the point of rolling it’s still going to tiller without rolling; you’re still going to put pgr on even if you roll and apart from making pretty stripes….it strikes me as being fairly recreational

A thin crop can really benefit from rolling in a cold dry spring. But it the soil won't go you have to leave it alone.

10 days either side, which means it's one or the other, not both if it was sown before late October. How late was it sown?

 

[Brisel]

No dust, no roll!

I rolled my wheat and picked up the stones on Sunday day that kept me away from starting to drill spring barley as weather crap this week .

I'd be interested to see how that pans out. Keep us posted please. You've done them in the right order and the herbicide should have translocated by then.

 

[Barleymow]

Agronomist over today we found ears,he said too late to roll now

 

[DrWazzock]

Too late here. Just had Atlantis type herbicide, too wet and it’s getting too tall.

 

[T Hectares]

Think todays rain has done more than enough rolling for any crop

 

[Toki]

I rolled a 4-hectare field 10 days ago, it looked very bad and it was a question whether to destroy it or leave it. The day before rolling it got 160 kg/H AN and after rolling and rain.
She was literally reborn in ten days.

Planning on rolling this tomorrow to make it tiller

Flat roll that for optimum outcome.

Nine days on, wheat shows no ill effects from the roll two days after Atlantis. Bg is not enjoying the experience. Glad I did it, been no chances since.
