Rolling

[wilfholme]

Spring Barley and Spring oats went in a bit rough but now emerging reasonably ok. Would it be a good idea to roll down now everything has dried out?

Yup.

How long have they been drilled.

Mine drilled a fortnight ago still look fragile to me, but in need of rolling.

Drilled 3 weeks ago, I have done a bit tonight - looks better if nothing else

That is exactly what I will be doing tomorrow, myself.

 

[T Hectares]

Yep, we are finishing the last of the unrolled barley today, drilled 6-8th April
Everything after this was rolled after the drill

 

[Gong Farmer]

Make sure it's all fully emerged: whatever you do don't roll freshly chitted seed!

 

[T Hectares]

If nothing else, it makes you feel better !

 

[Wigeon]

Best job of the year.

If only for the smell!)

Rolling spring wheat at the moment. Got some very thick spring barley at bang on the right timing for rolling - will it help in preventing it going flat?

Never had the chance to roll spring cereals post emergence so a new one for us!

Yes

As good if not better than any PGR.

Will easily chop an inch off the height.

Don't be afraid of rolling it again.

You wouldn't roll much round here now it's all nearly a foot tall and in desperate need of a T1!!!

Spring barley?

 

[robbie]

Yep

 

[teslacoils]

Well, wouldn't be rolling anything at stem extension anyway!

 

[Spencer]

What gap between Mn application and rolling anyone?

 

[Brisel]

A week, ideally

We rolled our spring wheat but slugs all over it thinking of rolling again would it make spring wheat tiller any or not? It’s fully up in the row about 2to 3 inches tall
