Yes needs an MSO, cut off for Axial/Oskar and Topik is GS41 so well past the last legal timing.

Will have its work cut out anyway if the W Oats are visible above the crop.

Oats probably so big controlling them will be hard as they will be tillered out and the FOPs/Dims always seemed to struggle translocating to the 'daughter' tillers IME.

Last season I applied Topik at T2 (usually use Foxtrot earlier), fields where there were a smattering of WO were controlled.
Areas where they were busy waving at you above the crop got knocked about but they shrugged it off.
Can't remember the rate tho

Have put some with some T2s this year, but more for historical reasons, and at £7/acre rather that than spend my days roguing too many oats
