Winter Linseed

[Adeptandy]

Is it to late to drill it now ?

 

[Badshot]

Thought it was drilled in August or September?

Just found a sheet saying early Sept to Early Oct, but I hadn't got a drill then, then it rained & rained, still catching up

@Daniel grows it I believe

Should be drilled by September I think.

Dropped it to give hybrid rye a try this year.

wait till the spring and plant spring linseed if the soil is not dry enough to work properly

Winter Linseed should be drilled in September (till early October if forecast looks mild) . Linseed is not vernalised and if you drill it in August there is a good chance it will be flowering at Christmas. If you’ve missed the boat, will have to be spring linseed I’m afraid.

Looks like a risk I’m not taking.
Thanks

Has anyone risked mixing difcor with c max? Never found c max that harsh on linseed or beet and mixed Biscaya with the c max on beet this spring. Also have a lot of poppies in the linseed, what is going to be best approach? All it’s had is avadex pre-em.

I would be concerned about a reduction effectiveness of the c max when mixed

Never considered that

There is a potential risk of softening of the crop towards frost with mixing any herbicides and fungicide at this time of year.

Thanks. It is tempting though.
