[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 7654241, member: 54866"] Spray off grass well ahead of time so that any nasties (i.e couch) that are there are nailed and killed properly. Soil test and apply manure and any bagged stuff to make up for any issues. Plough the ground in good time when conditions suit. Ideally you would leave it a few weeks to deter the frit fly but may not be possible. Make a good seed bed and drill in best conditions you can. I would apply a pre-em but you can also do this at early emergence with a BYDV spray which will probably want doing at 2 true leaves. There are few other grass weed control options for barley other than pre-em or peri emergence autumn applications. Seek advice before buying products mind as some are harsh on barley particularly if it is emerged. Wireworm will be unlikely to muller a barley crop, you can up your seed rate slightly to ensure good coverage. What will help is a nice mild spell after emergence and good soil fertility so that the crop tillers nicely into winter. In the spring you can look at the crop, you will probably want to apply a dose of N to get the crop moving. You can do a herbicide/fungicide and PGR pass in March-April according to conditions and what happens in season. The nitrogen program will be the source of some arguments on here but I've seen people delay the remainder until the ear is fully out so as not to encourage too much stem. [/QUOTE]
