Ok we have had to reach for the spray can, as i explained earlier , this is not a organic trial and we need the trefoil to grow .So we have sprayed a 1/4 litre/ha of permasect to control the flea beatle that was giving it an absolute hammering. i know it goes against the basics but once we have a strong crop established then we will be in a postion to argue , and besides its my ball and i`ll play with it how i want to.Before we applied the permasect i did a bit of research and apparently a healthy crop shouldnt need a insecticide because insects are only drawn to crop thats under stress , which i understand , normally this is caused by high nitrate loading but why werent they attacking the fools parsley and charlock , theres more to this bio-logical agriculture then the odd soil test ,The next application f something should be the Twin N and all the other bits now thats a bit more bio friendly.The wheat is growing well, the charlock is in flower and i`m glad you can`t seethis field from a road , most of my friends whilst being interested still think its slightly daft.
