Blackgrass control programme
Practical sequence for stacking cultural controls with residual and follow-up chemistry.
Plan before drilling
Use stale seedbeds, delayed drilling where viable, and variety choice to lower pressure before chemistry.
Build a residual stack
Prioritise robust pre-em and early post-em timing to protect crop establishment and reduce spring burden.
Monitor and adapt
Track escapes, map pressure by field, and adjust rotations and herbicide strategy after harvest.
