Not a “spin” off. Was itWhat sort of like an ice cream van ?
SU herbicide holding them back, but not where soil been mixed/dug would be my thoughtThe fat lady has sung and the sheep have been turned into the late sown crop of Stubble turnips, on our neighbours land. Just cultivated and rolled ,with the seed spun on, no fertiliser. A little bit of useful feed but disappointing considering he near perfect growing weather.
The bottom picture shows where there has been a test dig for a proposed water pipe and the turnips are five times better, interesting
Two places on another field on another farm where the sprayer hasn’t reached around the electric pole and just missed a strip with the herbicide in the previous cereal crop .SU herbicide holding them back, but not where soil been mixed/dug would be my thought
How are they looking now Mr Spinat the risk of hijacking the thread....whats wrong with mine
better where they've been sheltered....125kg/ac of 20/10/10....samson at 4kg/ac
VolunteerS definitely don’t help, but the line where the sprayer hasn’t been shows what lost potential there is because of the residual spray. The second field was broadcast after a subsoil er with a crumbler on the back Then rolled in.Definitely herb damage, most probably an SU but those volunteers wouldn't have helped my h either brassicas don't like competition early on.
Did you cultivate before sowing the turnips????
Sulfonyurea aka Ally and whatever it is called now! Either change chemistry to a pure contact herbicide, or plough/deep disc after using it in the Spring.VolunteerS definitely don’t help, but the line where the sprayer hasn’t been shows what lost potential there is because of the residual spray.

what does Su stand for.
Cynic.... Probably right though.We use SU's in barley every year and I have never seen a problem in a following stubble turnip crop. We normally DD in, but this year it was just broadcast on the stubble ahead or a week's light rain (no rolling).
We do only use a low rate of SU though, so I wonder if that makes a difference? Serviced agronomists recommending putting high levels on perhaps?

I think your aitchison moves enough soil.
I simply cannot get reliable turnips or osr with a 750
Surely any drill is only scratching the surface to DD turnips? Next to no soil ever moved, whatever the drill.
As above, it was broadcast on with a slug pelleter ahead of rain this year, then the gate shut until I went back with some N.
Perhaps higher rainfall than Norfolk?We use SU's in barley every year and I have never seen a problem in a following stubble turnip crop. We normally DD in, but this year it was just broadcast on the stubble ahead or a week's light rain (no rolling).

Most likely.Perhaps higher rainfall than Norfolk?
the BB seed struggled Autumn 2020 after a failed WW crop that had been redrilled with SB, and had a double dose of herbicides.... I disced about 3ac and broadcast which came quite well though...I think your aitchison moves enough soil.

I always used to broadcast onto combine stubble but found a pass with the discs first was beneficial as I could drop seed rate with a better take. The downside was the worked land did not hold the stock as well in a wet time. Still better than ploughing which one neighbour used to do...Surely any drill is only scratching the surface to DD turnips? Next to no soil ever moved, whatever the drill.
