[QUOTE="Dave645, post: 3097132, member: 55822"] For any chemical company's reading. I think there are some gaps in the market. New ideas for chemical control of Black grass. We never hit 100% kill rates so these will always be useful. Spray to, 1. Trigger 100% germination or better still make BG grow in the ear. 2. Just make it sterile. We may have missed the boat for Killing the plant But can we make the BG seed sterile while still on the growing plant. So no seed return burden. 3. A shortener that stunts its growth. Not my first choice but something is better than nothing. Anything that stops it putting out 30 tillers and smothering the crop. Seed dressing to. 4. Controllable germination seed dressing, this I mention in delayed emergence thread, Basicly a seed dressing that delays seed germination by up to 8 weeks, but germination can be triggered with a spray application. So we can drill when we want and trigger germination any time in that 8 week period in time with a spray application.(it will most likely require rain to get the seed contact with the chemical in the spray) I say spray but fert would also be another way a water soluble chemical included in any source that can trigger the break down of the seed dressing that's delaying the germination of our seed. 1-3 would be welcome in anyone's spray program. Even after we had a new chemical that gave great control of BG. We never hit 100%..... [/QUOTE]
