    Black grass sprays in forage maize

    What chemical options are people using to control black grass in forage maize? Last year I used PDM pre-em and a nicosulfuron post em but poor results. Would dual gold or wing -P alongside PDM be a more robust pre-em option for black grass ? I know they are not cheap!! thanks
