I have an Oat/Pea crop growing quite nicely, but charlock is becoming an issue.
What spray could i use to take it out ?

It is a crop for Combining and then to bale the straw.Just out of interest, are you planning to combine or forage the crop? Do oats and peas mature together ok for combining?
Sorry, but I'm no help to you for your herbicide question.
not such a break crop but.....Just out of interest, are you planning to combine or forage the crop? Do oats and peas mature together ok for combining?

Might try some next year. Will see what my agronomist says about herbicide options.
I also have Barley and Beans in another field !!not such a break crop but.....
Barley and peas will come together especially with a bit of care choosing varieties. At harvest you dont want to be delayed as far as the peas are concerned of course ......cut it as soon as they are fit .... with decent weather it works well and even a bit of lodging is not a disaster like peas on their own can be.
Not for oats and to be used in a normall till situation ...but ...Stomp (pendimethalin.) for barley and peas (Pre- em only) .
one fungicde and no need for preharvest if you get your timing right and give the crop priority at that time with the combine...

Have used 0,2l/ha MCPA 750 on weaning peas, no problem. Don´t know if that is any use on charlocksI have an Oat/Pea crop growing quite nicely, but charlock is becoming an issue.

I expect them to mature around the same time, and will use reglone if necessary.
Thats a heck of a seed rate??? About 18st/ acre in old money?The crop yielded just under 2.5t/acre of which about 0.5t was the peas , which when you consider lack of rain after sowing is very good.
In fact someone growing a normal crop of peas nearby didn't bother combining the crop as they were so poor.
Pea seed rate was about 100kg/ha and Oats about 180kg/ha.
If i was doing this again i would increase peas to 130kg/ha and reduce the Oats to 150kg/ha as i felt the Oats dominated the Peas too much.
I tend to agree with you, but if you look at my pictures above the crop looks about right to me, it was standing nicely at harvest and was easy to combine.Thats a heck of a seed rate??? About 18st/ acre in old money?
