[QUOTE="They see me rolling, post: 8632204, member: 78420"] In our experience you can roll a crop of Linseed post-emergence using the boot test. If the soil is sticky you will pull the Linseed plants up from the soil. The same will happen if you roll across the hill rather than up and down the slope. Linseed can be rolled once the crop is 4-5cm tall, but the crop should be allowed to recover before any herbicide are put onto the crop. Harrowing we have not had this tested on-farm before. Theoretically there shouldn’t be an issue doing this but would strongly recommend a trial first. Although the comb harrows will remove some smaller weeds, the weeding/soil movement then subsequent rolling of the soil can encourage another flush of weeds which would still likely germinate and get big enough to be an issue at harvest. In our personal experience rolling the seed-bed twice to get a really fine seed-bed followed up by a robust pre-emergence herbicide would do as good or better a job. As any cultivations will invariably encourage a germination of weeds. [/QUOTE]
