Almost certainly , what's the point it's only a catch crop

Pre xmas spring barley used to be a big thing around here, infact drilling in the new year was considered late.

One of my client's winter wheat fields following spring barley with heavy pre-harvest losses. The outside 3m was cultivated but not sown as this area will extend a stewardship margin. Shows the level of volunteers. It was a carpet of barley volunteers following sowing before the wheat emerged but the weather never allowed a glyphosate application. Following a very open and frank discussion about the options the decision was made to leave until the wheat was strong enough for a strong herbicide - 'hit it as hard as you can, I don't want to have to re-drill!' 1.2l/ha Horus (Atlantis) + 0.25l/ha Kipota (Topik) + 1l/ha Bio-power, applied around 5/11/20. The herbicide has certainly given the volunteers a big headache - only time will tell if it has been enough.

Thank you for posting. Looks good. I thought about adding Topik to the Hatra I used. And also thought of adding Xerton (ethofumesate)

I did think of ethofumesate but it's murder expensive no?
Topik + Atlantis I've seen done before because of blackgrass. Didn't work.

May be better off banging some N on and let it kill itself

Nothing done in Lincolnshire is ever wrong, or so they tell me.
That's cost £ 30 an acre if not more

Need a stiff drink when the agronomist sends that recommendation sheet. The agronomist will have turned off his phone.
He had already seen this trial ....

Less than £22/acre. It was completely the growers decision after an honest and frank discussion!
