Barley volunteers in wheat

[bobk]

Due to the last 12 months weather my already shattered rotation means I've followed sb with wheat ( didn't want to grow it ) anyway we sowed 3 days after finishing combining .
So we have a volunteer issue , is frost my friend ? doesn't appears to be any chems available that will kill the stuff.

Do you have any weeds that could justify a broadway star recommendation?? Monitor or Topik may work.

 

[Chae1]

Why did you sow it if you didn't want to grow it?

Yes BS is in the armoury for the spring , but will it kill sb or just give a headache

Meant the sb .

Think Horus plus oil will give SB a headache?

we did it in 2018 fusarium was a bigger problem in the sample
for feed wheat the barley is no problem allowed 2 % barley head has 25 grains max wheat usually 60 plus 450 heads of wheat
delaying the barley may make the sample worse as early barley may have shed seed before harvest
wheat can be combined with high wind that blows some barely out the back

we follower winter barley with mercia wheat planted first week of october in 1991 most made milling wheat spec

Sometimes topic will kill them. Frost won't do it.

I’ve had mixed results with broadway star on volunteers in the spring don’t rely on it working.

dont worry about it... barley will be on the floor by the time you combine the wheat

 

[lloyd]

I'd be more worried about take all if you planted early.

I'd be more worried if I hadn't sown it

What will your rotation be going forward. Can’t see you bothering with beans or OSR.
3 yrs wheat, then grass maybe .
neighbour ended up with a mix at harvest, as he’d tried to drill wheat in February , then re drilled spring barley.
Not sure what he did with it, but I’m sure there’d be a market somewhere at the right price, maybe farmer to farmer.

Doubt there will be much sb at harvest , just looks shite atm

I was having a conversation many years ago with my agronomist. In his opinion, Sod’s law said, that if you tried Atlantis in barley to get out of a BG disaster it would kill the barley. If, you wanted to take barely out if wheat, Atlantis wouldn’t touch it

My agro says BS and Topic won't touch it , spray a field of barley then ....

You can't be far from that well known min tiller ,
he was still planting the other day ,even found time
to clean the tractor..

Would be interesting to try a bit though?

20 miles , but a different world .

 

[yellow belly]

just because a spray is not approved does not mean it kills barley outright but could give a yield reduction
50% kill is no good either way
