The challenge of blackgrass

Always a problem, protracted germination and resistance.
After such a wet autumn, we can see the new germination of black grass from the cracks in the soil. This heavy clay soil is dominated by magnesium, making it near impossible to tackle the continuous onslaught of problem weeds.
SSM soil sampling highlights the extent of the problem and formulates the actions required to get the best performance from residual herbicides by creating seedbed agrigation.
We may not change the clay type, but we can alter the chemical, physical and biological balance, so creating the most optimum environment for roots and soil life to thrive.
