[QUOTE="snarling bee, post: 8125612, member: 681"] I have split a heavy clay field into 4. Direct drill, shallow cultivation, Plough and shallow discs with low disturbance to 200mm. This is the first year. 5th winter wheat, straw removed, FYM and compost applied April 2021 in previous crop. Unfortunately the grass weeds seem to have suddenly got worse in all parts of the field except the ploughed area, so we have applied 500g Pacifica plus a few weeks ago, to the whole field except the ploughed section. The crop has taken a huge hit, but much more in the DD section. In the photo, the bit nearest the camera is DD, then shallow, then plough and the top of the hill is deep tilled. It will be taken to yield over a weighbridge, but the Pacifica has rather mucked up what I was trying to do (or perhaps it has not) It was mainly drilled either with an Avatar, which finished half way across the ploughed section, or a vaddy, at about 400 seeds in mid October. The poles mark the boundary of the plots [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_5178[1].JPG"]1034340[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
