I did ☹

I take it that it was a waste of time?

Well it had Avadex at drilling followed by ally and c max in the spring and it’s full of black grass, poppies and other rubbish. Disappointing as last year grown on muckier fields and treated similarly with better (just about acceptable but still far from ideal) results. I think the loss of maya is going to be a big problem too.

i will continue growing it but will be on low bg land
if i have bg in the field i will sow a spring crop

without crawler winter linseed and black grass will be a struggle
although bg that seeds in winter linseed has a good chance of of lower dormancy and germinating in the early autumn
late germinating bg will be took out by the desication

Anybody got any flat linseed after 40mm of rain on it on Friday? Will it stand back up again? Or is it too late now its done flowering

There were some flat around here, but it was standing up a lot more in the evening yesterday than it had been in the morning.

linseed will often stand back up

plenty of flat barley will not

What are peoples views on whether or not to Roundup off Winter Linseed pre-harvest?
If so, at what rate and when?
Mine is definitely beginning to turn.

3 litres here also need to kill off any late weeds
