Barley and Defy

[RAF]

Barley had been up 2 weeks , when i sprayed it with crystal and defy post em, was meant go on pre em but I missed it.
Agronomist said it would be fine , 6 weeks ago it looked sick but he said it would recover. Now snow has lifted this afternoon it looks like its been roundup. Other barley that was pre em is fine. anyone else had this problem and will it recover ? I ll get pictures tomorrow

Write off then

Write off then

Nooooooooo!!!! Not yet. Defy is approved post-em in barley up to 3l/ha rather than 5l/ha pre-em. What rates of all pesticides did you use?? A full rate of Crystal + any Defy in mix post-em will be hot on the crop. Lots of herbicide uptake in cereal crops this year. - not just where Defy used. Difficult to say it is a right off without pictures. Is the new growth still green?? Fields can look very yellow with larger older leaves yellow, but small younger leaves still green. I'm not trying to say it will definitely be OK - just giving you some hope!

Thank you . 2 litres of each , I hope it’s not write off it looks terrible compared to the rest , will hit it hard with digest soon as we can travel

2 litres of each is not high rates. Take a closer look and post some pictures. If it does survive the winter, do everything you can to give it an early boost to encourage tillering - vital for yield in winter barley.

Have you got blackgrass ? it's a hot mixture for Staffs

Brome .should ploughed it really

 

[bobk]

Should have put wheat on it ......

Don’t like second wheats . Was meant be barley , crimp it then straight into turnips end July ,

 

[bobk]

Maybe not , but brome is a twit to control in barley

Very true

Bet it survives

I bet it survives, if it dies it will probably be down to the weather.

I've seen barley hit with post-em FMX, that survived, Godknows how. If you have Brome I agree ploughing would be better but never mind.

Fingers crossed . I just always thought barley tillered in the autmn

The best barley is the one that dies more than once

We have some barley that’s been hit hard we a strong pre em. And Avadex. Headlands which are tighter hardest hit.
Put manganese on and has really perked it up.

This is the same for me, but I’ve done nothing about it, past experience and agronomist agrees it will be fine
