Chlormequat and imaxaquin. Huge rip off price. Was hugely pushed by my distro agron. After it went they tried with the barleyquat / adjust / bettaquat. All bobbins really.
Foxtrot/Oskar or axial

Come on, everyone loves a Boogie! But seriously now, how else are huge multinational companies going to make a living if you won't pay for their stuff?

Hi Robbie, we do not support any other product in the tank with Foxtrot on spring barley, please apply the product alone in this instance. Any crop stress increases the risk of effects following application so extra caution is advised in prolonged dry spells, to mitigate the risk it is advisable to apply Foxtrot early in the morning when the crop is least stressed.

Have to say I very much don't give a sh!t if they make zero profit. The use of adjust / barleyquat by anyone at all is a manifest failure on their part. If I were to die thinking my years of forum time been wasted, knowing that I'd turned one farmer away from their rec-by-numbers, snakeoil shyster salesman agron would be sufficient in showing it was time well spent.
Perhaps we could have a snakeoil sticky?

No no, we need a snake oil emoji!!!
Maybe just spiroxamine in word art.... Also I want my alarm meme made into an emoji.

We are going to try some Foxtrot at 0.8 for small WOs next week. Hopefully the saving vs Axial will outweigh any effect on slowing crop growth.

Can anyone help. Tomorrow should be a decent day so the plan is to spray the spring barley with foxtrot but I cant decide what growth stage the crop is at.
Drought stress has caused it to bolt and going by the book the main stem is at or beyond gs31.
The first node is between 1 to 2 cm up from the tillering node but side tillers arnt anywhere near that gs and when I peeled the leaves back at the base of the plant there is more tillers just being initiated which would only make it mid tillering gs 22-24.
First node more than 1 cm, gs 31
The tip of the knife is pointing to the node but theres the beginning of another tiller.

Got that 'stary' look about it. Quite a bit similar on the Lincoln Heath January sown. I applied Foxtrot beginning of this week to similar looking stuff at 0.75 lt/ha plus some liquid Mn and Mg,
Ready for MCPA + Harmony and lowish dose Siltra or Elatus later next week. Hopefully 20mm rain here will help but I expect those little side tillers may come.

@ hindsight would a pgr help with the tillering I've never used it on spring barley?
Weve had a good inch here now.

No idea. My bits of Spring Barley on the Heath soil around Cranwell upto Lincoln limestone brash we have never put any PGR on be it early of Terpal timing. Just leave nature to takes its course. So afraid not much help to you when it comes to debating whether to include a PGR.

Same here, I've never even thought about it for sp barley were not big pgr users even on winter barley and wheat.
The field isn't terrible but I do like sp barley to resemble silage so if I can get these extra tillers to continue growing it's a good thing.

The idea of using a PGR early in barley gets controversial but I have tried it and I was pleased with the result, it was a really dry season and I was so concerned about the crop I never put terpal on it. Then there was the mother of all thunderstorms and the crop brackled and was beaten over but was harvested fine.
The idea is the chlormequat will even up the tillers. The idea of it encouraging more tillers or enhancing rooting or whatever is a matter of extreme argument in some quarters- I know how popular terms like barleyquat are.

Sorry to change the subject slightly but rather than starting a new thread whilst you clever people are in the same place. Is there way a way to kill mares tail in spring wheat and spring oats? We have it creeping in from the edges on one farm and the owner has been pointing it out to me. My understanding is that it’s very hard to kill?

Your understanding is correct!! I await replies to your question as I am always on the lookout for another theory or method to add to the multitude of ways I have tried to remove mares tail over the years!! Best wishes,
