[QUOTE="SilliamWhale, post: 474848, member: 1232"] Interestingly I find winter cereals pretty easy. It also gets easier over time. Cereals into either rape stubble or bean stubble is pretty simple. I love looking at the residue around the crops - nothing gets all claggy and sticks to your feet. I honestly don't think no till yields average lower than any other, apart from possibly spring barley [U]sometimes[/U] but I don't treat it well enough in the rotation. I don't notice residual herbicides being less effective - in a few situations there isn't a lot of residue anyway (after most broadleaves) I don't find WOSR terribly easy, but I will adapt again this year and add a bit more fert with the seed (if I can get enthused to grow it). This years harvest will be interesting. Spring rape - fussy. Spring Wheat is easy. Spring Barley a bit fussy. Winter and Spring beans seem easy enough. In fact I'm only in my first year of beans but they seem to be very happy no tilled. Roundup vs Tillage. Interesting times. I would say a 3l/ha dose of roundup is probably better than ploughing to 7" and power harrowing etc. but a light cultivation may be better than a dose of roundup. That said its not really an either/or situation a lot of times with people choosing to till multiple times and seemingly nowadays use roundup multiple times too! Its the question about in crop herbicides vs tine weeding and hand picking really, which one would you prefer to use on your own place? [/QUOTE]
