Nope. 2nd time around has the agronomist in the field with me while it was applied. Everything was spot on. It’s just a crap product.

Speak as I find on two occasions. I’m not quoting others. The manufacturer just talked the talk without any proper backup.
It doesn’t work and I wouldn’t even apply it now if it was free.

I always used drill or biopower with broadway star. No exceptions. Same with Atlantis etc. If I was going after grass weeds the adjuvant went in.

Iirc we used Methyl 47 and/or Cropspray with it. 150l/ha, medium spray, 8-9km/hr.
Atlantis the same year worked perfectly well as I remember that clearly.
What are you trying to kill with Broadway?

ryegrass
trying to find some pics but I’m not anywhere near the comp. I did find this one which I think was 2008 after it had been applied.

Didn’t think it was meant to be very good on ryegrass anyway

It’s not it’s utter crap, but not what the manufacturer and resellers suggest!

Agreed - not to be missed, it's all very good fun.
800ac done here every year, 5 times over.
Can't wait to get started.

If you are that professional and conscientious surely after a few years you will have less requirement to do it......
you need to be early for good ryegrass control - it will do it though, has done here again this year
Yes, but as the problem reduces it becomes ever less tiresome and more fun.
Last year we were down to under 2 wild oat plants/acre, having started with several thousand when we commenced rogueing in 1964.
Unfortunately, we shall never be completely free because every year birds drop imported seed, particularly under telecom and power cables

Not really. One crappy crop in the rotation and it's back to square one. It's never ending. I only rogue wheat, although if I go into winter beans then I will do them too.

If you are going to hand pull, recruit a load of local villagers and pay them. A gang of 10 or more will cover acreages very very quickly.
I'm a bit with @warksfarmer , BS doesn't seem as effective now , it needs warmish weather to succeed but by then the weeds are too big .
OK in wheat and barley but not so good in oats.
