[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 6411686, member: 166"] You can say that as you're not growing oilseed rape this year. Of course you won't be desiccating your soya pre harvest ;):whistle: Come and look at my oilseed rape & tell me how I'm going to cut it without desiccant. Where the flea beetle has hit the crop it's a mass of weeds - even you wouldn't volunteer to cut that direct without desiccant with your old combine! Try growing Hereward milling wheat without it and see how your Hagberg looked. The use of pre harvest desiccants in weedy crops lowers the viability of the immature seeds. It's a useful tool, if used responsibly. I have no plans to spray off anything else. Wheat & barley look clean - if the spring oats stay green for too long because of my strobilurin use I may give them a litre to finish the straw off. I think the message is to avoid using it as much as possible. Pre harvest use carries the highest likelihood of residues getting into the end product & patience would be a better way of cutting when ripe. The residue levels will be what gets it banned IMO. It's endemic in bread, beer etc. even though it is below the legal threshold for any kind of toxicity. I agree with your comment on the lazy use of it. Glyphosate is already in the firing line with lots of incorrect facts in the media. We will all mourn its loss - you in particular with your no till system... [/QUOTE]
