[QUOTE="Simon C, post: 7086316, member: 319"] Do we not think that autumn grassing or mowing would solve the BYDV and early disease problems? Disease and virus would be in the cut or eaten residue and aphids wouldn't take too kindly to a clout round the ear by a flail or passing through a sheep's gut. The main thing would be blackgrass, made worse by low seed rates, but as we are finding with other crops, a sacrificial companion with the wheat could do a lot for weed suppression. I always find much less BG when growing two species together, for example grass undersown in spring barley and grasses mixed with lucerne. [/QUOTE]
