[QUOTE="robs1, post: 7605450, member: 1290"] Who said we havent tried it ? My old man dd grass late 1970's worked ok sometimes, we have been all dd since 2011, still learning, we've done a few trials of cover crops and natural regeneration, we've tried raking stubbles wever tried dragging the rollers and paddle boards once and twice over stubbles, made no difference to how much bg germinated from.just leaving the stubbles, the weather during seed set seems to determine when it will germinate and of course rain. Cover crops here have been grazed by sheep or sprayed off, early as in End jan or late as in mid march , its needs to be early to allow the ground to dry here. We have by accident selected April germinating bg here now crops were totally clean in Feb and hardly any in March, plenty about now. To break this cycle we are going to drill last wk sept and spray as late as we can so hopefully the fft will catch the late stuff will it work ? Who knows but if we dont try we wont know, What we do know for certain is the less disturbance the better, even rolling I think can cause problems, might roll part of a field and see. Edit in fact Ithinking about it I did part roll a field of WB last year as it rained part way through, will have to get my stepson to use his drone to see if there is any difference [/QUOTE]
