[QUOTE="moldengineer, post: 3045042, member: 668"] Ok we appear to have fallen at the 1st hurdle. Direct drilled wheat into direct drilled linseed stubble. The linseed followed a cover crop that seemed to have helped the slugs thrive. Linseed was OK. But the wheat is being hammered by the slugs. Seed hollowing, grazing and lots of slug eggs in the slot. We cultivated a large proportion of the field because we are concerned about DD. The cultivated land is fairing far better. The conclusion I have come to is that on the heavy land the slot has been closed better after cultivation as the soil was loose. Light land seems OK. Is anyone metering slug pellets into the slot along with the seed? Is it simply better to loosen heavy land and over time this will improve? [/QUOTE]
