Not my field, don't know who's, but a few people have asked me and I can't give an answer. What do you think?

Why would it go bright red? Normally goes yellow

Not sure I have a fallow stubble I roundupped that a lot of it's gone red in.

Might be something completely different, just my wild guess

Rounduped off wheat that most likely been full of blackgrass and with it most likely under stress from the dry ground made it go red.

Oats often look similar when rounduped.

Some glyphosate formulations make it redder for some reason l know not why. I think touch down was one. Haven't used anything but generic 360 for years though.

Blackgrass here, just can't afford to encourage the stuff. Now down to grass to try and get a handle on it. Farms locally have almost given up against it.

I meant why was it sprayed off

Was it because of blackgrass ?

I read that spring oats in mascani

I grow a spring variety in winter and it's fine as long as you don't get frost kill
Crop would be fine for feed ?
