[QUOTE="yellow belly, post: 7784431, member: 305"] Wait till it is dryer when I first had a gd I believed that land after osr needed cultivating to reduce slugs first year drilled in wetter cultivated land but could not roll due to a wet week slugs murdered the wheat the gd would go in the wetter conditions but was not the right thing to do now after rape ( which we do not grow now ) let the regrowth grow strong then drill on the green and spray roundup on post drilling the slugs prefer the nice sweet rape and leave the wheat alone untill the rape dies back a month after drilling the wheat is past the slug damage stage this has never failed and there is no need for slug pellets i eco all those who say drill earlier before it rains In notill pre ems work better due to the shallow ness of the black grass roots in undisturbed soil that is left several weeks the black grass that germinates early gets taken out by roundup if the field has A Black grass problem delay drilling till April delaying drilling of wheat till mid October in notill produces a lower margin than a spring crop unless it is a very dry autumn 2018 was an exception [/QUOTE]
