This is 7 days so I defo won't be adding roundup, about 32mm deep.
I have done roundup the day before it was up and showing in the rows just before it is up the coleoptile is rup resistant once the leaf breaks through the coleoptile it is susceptiblesurely it all depends on how close the crop is to emerging and the temperatures. I don't think you can put a blanket statement on that as it is very situational.
if less than 10 % is up I would rup is bg was going to be a big problem
Sorry. I entirely agree. I’ve just been looking at my wheat and sure enough it’s starting to show through at 7-8 days after drilling even where drilled about 37-40mm deep. I’ve never known it through the ground as quickly!surely it all depends on how close the crop is to emerging and the temperatures.

I hope you are right as I’ve never known wheat to come through as quickly as mine this year. Some I sprayed around 7 days after drilling and I’ve now realised some plants are through after barely 8 days.I have done roundup the day before it was up and showing in the rows just before it is up the coleoptile is rup resistant once the leaf breaks through the coleoptile it is susceptible
going to the wire is needed as bg is quicker to be susceptible at 5 days from germintation if on the surface
Yep, it does have some advantages...Oh to be farming on chalk.
Anybody remember what the typical interest paid to you would of been for a current account in those days of exceptional high interest rates?Thing was if you were making good profits the concept of borrowing was maybe not so normal for the average farmer as it is today !
In fact in profitable times high interest rates would be great for all that cash you had stashed in the bank !
I'm sure I remember 8 or 9%, back in 1980s, deposits though.Anybody remember what the typical interest paid to you would of been for a current account in those days of exceptional high interest rates?
Next rain forecast for the 30th here, going to do the same with my worst bg field...I used to be on chalk up in Hampshire , an inch of rain was nothing to worry about .
An inch of rain now will stop the drill for a week .
100 acres left to drill now. 40 should drill early next week after a good dose of glyphosate . The remainder has bg which finally has started to emerge so I plan to leave it as long as I dare , hopefully about another ten days if the forecast is correct.
I am doing mine next week. Conditions ideal ATM.I used to be on chalk up in Hampshire , an inch of rain was nothing to worry about .

Leave the fan blowing says a photo taking expert!Im always amazed at you guys that stop mid run with drill in the ground and get off and take a photo.
If I did that I would probably end up with half my coulters blocked
