Doncaster Ryegrass Open Day 2020
Agenda
• Herbicides vs Ryegrass – looking at pre-emergence programs along with stacking early post-ems and follow up applications in the autumn and spring using contact herbicides.
• Hybrid Barley vs Ryegrass – this is where we take out the hybrid barley at different times in the year to show where and why hybrid barley is competitive against ryegrass.
• Drilling direction vs Ryegrass – Testing the theory that if a crop is drilled east-west the crop will shade out some of the ryegrass.
• Seed Treatments and Drilling Dates vs Ryegrass - Looking at the impact of delayed drilling with and without Vibrance Duo on ryegrass control.
• Spring Barley vs Ryegrass – Comparing varieties of spring barley and seed treatments against control of ryegrass.
• Application work – Large scale work looking at water volumes and good vs bad practice
