speedwell

What's everyone going with at pre em this autumn? Usual suspects liberator and picopro/max? Does defy added to the mix help with grass weed??

Only a hobby farmer with 40 acres, was going to apply for a Upland Offer based on permanent grassland and haymaking supplement with hedge keeping as a second option. However just flicking through the various guides etc and came across this beauty regarding record keeping Countryside Stewardship...

Pre emerge didn't work of pdm as was too dry. Too hot and dry for kerb and that didn't work. Now have a lovely crop of fat hen, sow thistle, chickweed and knotweed. Graminicides are OK but need something for broadleaves. Was reading in Canada they us salsa, the osr herbicide? Anyone any ideas...

I buy store cattle off some small local farms and always try to help them out with bull hire or dehorning and TB testing. Yesterday when I went to see some yearlings on one of these farms that is only around 50 acres of old established permanent grass and a reasonable shed, the owners said that...

Got this in a struggling new ley

Evening all Whats the best option for mayweed and ivy speedwell control in spring barley. Conditions very dry and barley stressed!!

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🤷‍♂️ tia

I dont really pay much attention to ryegrass herbicides but will need some for this wheat after stewardship. Best option for ryegrass, ideally not Atlantis style, and what conditions and timings? Wheat had 0.6 liberator plus avadex preem. Do any of the mixes do blws too or better options for...

So Blackgrass, Cleavers and Charlock are the main issues. For Blackgrass, Kerb is the only effective option. And needs to be pre-em? (Blackgrass isnt awful) How well would a Nirvana work on Cleavers? Could I get away with dropping the rate of Nirvana and boosting with some straight Pend and...

Ok @Great In Grass after 2 months with no rain on a sand farm it's time to send me some fodder rape seed please. Unless anyone else can do me a rain dance?

Which BLW spray (preferably a hormone) will take out groundsel, chickweed and speedwell in WB. Don't say leave it, land is generally weedy but majority of the weeds are the above, a few thistles. WB really struggling. PDM and Liberator didn't take out well established examples as weather...

Which product will best deal with speedwell in grass?

Does anyone have problems with broadleaf weeds in barley and wheat fields, namely poppy, fathen, cleavers, and speedwell? I am looking for a site to host a herbicide trial on spring barley, winter barley, and winter wheat, if anyone can help? Payment will be made for use of the land plus a...

Realistically, how big Charlock plants can it take out? I wouldn't bother but for the erucic acid contamination issues. I think the odd smaller charlock is feeling sick from the astrokerb but that may be wishful thinking........... And apart from the speedwells on the label what else does it...

As title got 100 acres of tundra beans up and growing, they look very well so pleased . But due to weather I’ve not been able to get any pre em on . It’s quite a clean block for black grass so I’m not to worried and have the option of centurion max, my main concern is blw’s ,although late...

Can anyone identify the plant in attached photo? It's growing well and the sheep won't touch it. Is there anyway of slowing it, without use of sprays or completely reseeding? Thanks

I ask the above as now not farming myself I have become ignorant of what has been banned. I only ask as I wish to find out from my Canadian farming contact if they had any similar chemicals banned. I appreciate they only seed spring seeded OSR /canola . Thank you
