BASF pointed to an “abundance of black-grass heads in many cereal crops around the country” before harvest, despite good planning this season . The company cited research by collaborator ADAS that a black-grass population of 300 heads/sq m would lose £615.60/ha ($ 800 ) at current prices. “With black-grass said to be of low dormancy this season, she continues, delaying drilling could be especially valuable, allowing more time to take advantage of stale seed-beds. ADAS is also teaming up with an array of additional experts as it attempts to keep control of black-grass this autumn.
