I was listening to Dick Neale speak last night about Black grass strategies and his experiences at Brampton. He was promoting Cousin's new Surface cultivator and using multiple applications of glyphosate along with rolling and raking to get as much BG emerged before the crop is drilled. This year I have been having the discussion with my father that I do not want to use round up more than once in a cropping season as it will lead to resistance. While listening to Dick speak I was ready to ask the question about multiply glyphosate applications and resistance when he put up a slide showing BG that had not been killed by Glyphosate and he said he had put another dose on at a higher rate and it was checking it. Is this the first signs of round up resistance in BG in the UK? Is anyone on here going to admit they have seen anything similar? I think this could be the next big story in the next couple of years. There could be a lot of cheap grazing soon as fields get grassed down!!
