Much depends on selecting the correct variety in the first place and then following the correct advice.
- Sow in late April/ Early May.
- Apply pre-emergence chemical.
- Spray broadleaved weeds with post-emergence herbicide, usually around 5 weeks from sowing in late May.
- Possible inclusion of a fungicide with this post-emergence herbicide to guard against sclerotinia in thick crops.
- Apply a graminicide 2 weeks later if grass weeds are a problem (e.g. wild oats, barren brome, black grass, etc).
Apply a desiccant prior to harvest.
