When to drill winter beans

[Badshot]

I am allowing for a lot of losses. It’s uncleaned fss. I counted out 100 seeds and found 25 either damaged/v small or bruccid damaged and there is a 7% admix of broken seeds etc. taken into account in the tgw.

Bruchid damage doesn't stop them growing.
But yes if it's uncleaned fss then a higher rate is easily justified, you'll have the split ones for a start, and there's plenty of them in my heap this year ftom them being so dry.

Put mine in end of last week (12/13th). They are quite deep and shouldn't be showing for at least 3 weeks. I wanted to get them in as it's usually around this time they do best and we have wheat to get in later for BG so didn't want clashing.

drilled ours 8 th oct. i inch roots on them today. Drilled end oct in 2016 and felt it was to late for this area. Time will tell if I have made correct decision

What pre-ems will people be using? Kerb + PDM? Or maybe kerb plus clomazone? Or all 3? Is there anything else worth using? defy maybe?

Roundup + Kerb.

Roundup + Kerb.

Careful I was always told they don’t mix!
You must have lower BLW pressure than me. Kerb no where near enough here.

They mix fine

Yes, but only if i DD them and keep the seed rate up a bit ! Kerb and roundup is applied seperately, although i believe they will mix in the tank ok.

Roundup + Kerb.

How long do you leave it before spraying ,wait for another flush

Sprayed mine today
PDM @ 2.5 l/
Clomazone @ 200ml
Glypho 480 @ 2l
No grass weeds, the first plant will be through by next week.

I wait as long as i dare before crop emergence, so frequent crop inspections after about 2 weeks is a good idea !

Any body’s beans up yet ? Got some just about to come through . 11 days after drilling. Didn’t expect them to come through quite as quick as that.

The soil is very warm, 17 degrees plus last Monday.

Drilling mine today and tomorrow

Hopefully can leave the pre em for 10 days for the soil to cool, then Kerb + clomazone +/- glpho

Perfect conditions...

 

[Badshot]

Drilling mine now.
Cold air. Hope the soil cools a bit for the kerb.
Dry though.
Moisture at drilling depth.
Going nicely.

I’m not trying to trip you up but be careful what you write down. Kerb on winter beans has to be pre em but also within 7 days of drilling.

Figure of speech, not a recommendation and typed whilst drilling.

I drilled our winter beans on the 10th at a good 6” deep and half the bloody things at up . I will get some pics this morning. Sealing them was a bit of a rush job as I planned to leave them as long as possible and put a drop of round up in with the pre em but had to scrap that idea .
