High stubble defo protects soil from drying out you only have to look at the soil when you are combining usually moist but once it has been cut it a couple of days it is as dry as you like. From experience slugs like trash on the surface to hide under so if left standing as much as possible the better we have found .Last year the high stubble dd rape did not get a pellet put on but other fields that had short chopped straw we had a hell of a job controlling slugs.
Also rape drilled into high stubble has less pigeon problems as well!
