Nice to see that someone else has as nice a crop of volunteer/ companion beans as I have! How much N do you think they’re contributing?

I do find it hard to bring myself to look at this horrible yoke, here’s what it looks like now, don’t know if it’s an improvement or not I suppose it only really got one mild week since

That will improve vastly this week.

If worse comes to worse I’ll have plenty of time to disc it out before mid April anyway

Gosh, I don’t see need for that looking at your pictures. It appears to be putting out tillers too.

We have some sections of wheat fields which will likely be disced and put into Phacelia in April/May.

Hopefully not now just don’t know what way it’s going to go

Your better to leave it. If it does 3 tonne won't that be better than spraying off, disking buying sb seed sowing again and maybe only getting 2.5 tonne of sb

Any time I did the figures, I found that if the winter crop can be nursed along to yield 2.5t it will leave as much as 3t off the second crop.
Unfortunately that is in or around zero for both.
A lot of people forget to include the cost of the first lot of seed and all other inputs put into the original crop when doing the costings for the second crop, the roughly €100/acre already spent on the field makes the second crop very expensive to grow.

 

[Masseyrk662]

Ah ya I’m only saying that as there was times there you wouldn’t know if it was going to grow at all, biggest mistake I reckon was liming before ploughing and maybe applying no K at sowing

Would you go more gran lime again even after it got 2 bags to the acre already and there is 3t to the acre somewhere in the soil

He is from Wexford and does not be well . Just tell him you have the Gro lime ordered and will put it out with a helicopter .

The 3t won't be doing much good till you plough it back up next autumn.

no bother could go out with another bag maybe to the acre surely be no harm bringing it up to 3

I wouldn’t worry about the wexicans, when I was in college with the cork, Carlow, Kilkenny, Wexford lads etc and I used to bring the lads down from Galway they used to say “Jesus lad your the most normal person out of your friends from home and you’re not normal at all”

If there is danger of a tailback of trucks going through Oylgate to avoid a road rage incident I might have to take the Helicopter.

Rosslare port is 400% busier so take the helicopter. At least you can lift your glass of powers to every ship that passes

Any alternative to Pacifica?
It's very dear.

Broadway Star . We more or less have stopped using Pacifica . It needs temperature and it is hard on the crop.

What are you trying to kill

 

[Oakley]

Pacifica is hard on crop but I like the product, use it at 0.25 kg/ha or less. Works out cost effective as it follows an earlier spray of something like Dff plus Zypar.
