[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 8138876, member: 44728"] I’m not sure it is counter intuitive. The secret to No-till is NOT disturbing the ground between the row, therefore not waking the BG up. Keeping the seed rate just as high as if using narrow spacing rows adds competition to the BG that is disturbed within and close to the row. That what might seem extra seed is a hell of a lot cheaper than the herbicides, that don’t work well enough anyway. I’d be very wary of reducing seed rates in a high BG situation. One field I have that was drilled with what turned out to be low germination seed, has become a disaster BG wise. And it was drilled conventionally, not DD’d. There just isn’t enough competition from the wheat to have any effect. [/QUOTE]
