For the first time I have not managed to get the pre em spray done on the winter beans and now they are coming through. Is this going to be a disaster for weed control going forward with the crop?

i sprayed my wheat with crystal post em and there were beans coming though and up in that field and they still seam ok ,So guess pendimethalin will be ok. And got a it behind with my bean spraying my self and one field had some beans tho and that got kerb. Not been back to see if there ok yet. But 2 years ago I didn't get recommended kerb and now have bg in fields a lot worse so . It was going on.
Well its not good. I think you are legally limited to basagran and crawler....... plus maybe cmax and other fops/dims.
Someone will correct if I am wrong.
There is a thread on here somewhere where someone may have applied their pre-em post-em. Its not legal and definitely not advised.
Sure they are the crop, and not volunteer beans from a cover crop?
No cmax on beans

Think it is the crop alright, really haven't had a chance,couldn't risk getting the sprayer stuck with the amount of rain we had after drilling.
No sola or whatever its called? One for linseed.....No cmax on beans
Not as far as i know.
You're missing his point entirely.
I checked. You are correct

Not if it's going to damage the crop.You're missing his point entirely.
Well, what's worse?
Crop damage or loads of bg, my choice would be some scorch, or glyphosate.
Possibly try weeding but unlikely to be that successful on large weeds in spring.

Used crawler one year in February with snow did a superb job no bg for a few years
So, is the question:
1) What can I legally use pre-emergence of the bean crop, given my crop has now emerged or
2) What can safely be applied to a crop of beans that has emerged that will deal with the weeds?
If you read French, you can easily find what the continentals use post-em of beans with no ill effects. Can you get any of these in the UK with post-em on the label? I always post in full compliance with UK law but am happy to supply a list of actives which other EU citizens can apply post-emegence to their beans but we sadly cannot.

What is approved in France is virtually immaterial in legal terms I'm afraid.
I think you can apply PDM safely post em of the crop, any weeds you might have already will be totally unfazed, however though they will look yellow as opposed to actually turning yellow.
Do not apply centium to them post em whatever you do.

Used Crawler once when a pre-em was not applied to winter beans. Didn't work.
Hence the disclaimer and the question to see if the OP wants to know what he *can* use or what he is *allowed* to use. I was surprised to see that PDM products for winter beans are seemingly all on SOLAs anyway now, so even pre-em they are essentially at your own risk.

Would be interesting to know what you *can* use, many thanks.
