13th of August should have been 450,000 seeds/ha but is slightly over DK Extar.

Hopefully the dead ones have been eaten by day time beneficials.
I hope there are some beneficials left! We didn’t spray the whole field.

Why don't some of you guys try what I sell. It controls slugs and we have anecdotal evidence it has an effect on CSFB. They come in have a nibble then move on. "Seems" they don't like the soil conditions created by the mix of sulphates (no insecticide) any more than slugs. Somebody give it a go and if I am talking BS no doubt you will post. People it works for never seem to post.
5kg bag £52 del 1kg/ha ( I will wear the haulage) however for the trial you must use Reactor water Conditioner and Anchor which I will supply to keep it in the surface zone as it is very soluble. To use up the Anchor 1ltr @ 0.1l/ha and Reactor better to try 10ha but wouldn't like to seem I am bankrupting you by getting you to spend an extra £52. Pm me.

How about you send the stuff out free of charge for the trial pack to someone like @ Brisel who is having trouble and who also would apply it in the best way possible and most importantly would give a true, unbiased, honest appraisal of your jollup. If it works then I'm sure you would sell lorry loads of the stuff to everyone growing rape on this forum as most of us are desperate anything which gives even a glimmer of hope of helping our crops.

Mixture of sulphates. You can marinade worms in it and they just slither away. Put slugs in and they curl up. It doesn't do anything directly to Leatherjackets however if you use a double rate it forces them to the surface where the corvids eat them. On lj's its cheaper to use the garlic mix which stops them.

Had to plant my rape later after spring oats this time, just emerging now, with a few shot holes.
I don’t intend spraying ifI can avoid it, much to the agronomists disapproval.
redrilling with wheat will probably be more profitable anyway.

I'm going to put some in tomorrow. Bloke from Kent says that's the way.
In fairness I need to cultivate the field as it was ruined after spuds last year so I'm levelling it now and chucking some seed on and see how it goes.

I’m going away for the weekend, see what it looks like after that.
Insecticides haven’t worked on CSFB for two years so I can’t see that situation changing this year !!

Two years ago I sprayed the worst hit field at night, went back the next night, just the same...
Same last year...
Oddly, although there’s damage it’s really hard to find any this year, hoping the late drilled field will survive, if it doesn’t it will be Beans as originally planned.

I dont want any for free, if it was shown to work from independent un biased trials I'd gladly by it and I'm sure so would a lot of others.
You have a potentially brilliant product which is using outside the box thinking and that's where we all need to start looking but I think you need to get some out there for people to try and report back on here.
