Invested with Buttercups, now that they have flowered what is the best method now to control them? I am going to cut the field and clear the grass off.
When do I need to spray, or what's the next thing to do?
Just got a few mayweed and nettle getting through on some headlands. Is it too late now to tidy up with an SU ?
Any other products as wheat now in ear!!
Tried zypar last year but didn't touch mayweeds once they got to certain size
Got a smattering of quite tall groundsel in a field of wheat.is it worth doing anything or will anything do anything at this stage to take it out or not too worry about it
Afternoon,
One of my customers wants their paddocks spraying for buttercups and docks. Is there a spray that does both well. Normally use fluroxpyr based product for docks and 24d for buttercups. Guessing be a waste of time mixing, is there something that does both well?
Thanks
Annoyingly, I see that I've missed a strip in one of my wheat fields, which is nearly at T1, and a large patch of well grown groundsel is very noticeable.
What can I use to kill it, given that all the chemicals in the spray store don't say that they will control it? Presently I have Eagle...

Take advantage of autumn conditions to reseed pastures

Struggling with controlling groundsel, used Tribenuron last year at 30g/ha, seemed to work best when mixed with tebuconazole, so what adjuvants would have the same characteristics as teb?
Is there anything else that would give more reliable control, don’t want to use Dff as I think it kills soil...
Got a reseed that is just full of fat hens 🤦♂️
I took the chance as it was sprayed off and put a decent amount of clover in the mix. Now I’m staring at a bloody mess. Have put ewes on it and obviously they are loving the grass but it’s becoming obvious as they eat it down how bad the bloody...

What rate to guarantee wild oat control in spring barley if crop is GS30. Given moisture will 0.6l/ha do or do you need 0.82l/ha (equivalent to old Axial at 0.45l/ha)?
I have a small patch of oats which due to low rate liberator have no weeds👍, except cleavers. I don’t have a starane type product but I do still have a lot of MCPA and 24d which I mix for grass fields. Would on of those or a mix kill cleavers?
The labels only talk about perennial weeds🤷♂️
