Fumitory in Winter Linseed

[down n'dirty]

Winter Linseed is coming towards end of flowering and I now have a pretty blanket of pink fumitory flowers starting to appear above the crop. Just wondering if anybody has had any success spraying it out at this late stage? If so, what product and is it cost effective?

Lots of things control fumitory in linseed. Not sure I know of any that are legal to apply at this late crop stage, or effective on such an established size of weed.

I agree with static but I have a similar issue, for fumitory read charlock though.....

Nothing approved this late. Eagle would do charlock but the cut off is flower buds visible.

I was amazed that 2/3 rate eagle and 3/4rate maya didn't do the charlock at the appropriate growth stage.

Also Maya is going for next year. You might want to order any requirements now

Nooooooo. Is that all bromoxinil going then?

Pass. Just got an email from agronomist specifically mentioning maya.

General consensus seems to be that there is nothing that will do the job at this stage. Worringly, the crop had two applications of an SU that the fumitory has survived, along with a fair bit of runch and charlock. It seems that every "break crop" has its problems, particularly as I was looking to replace OSR with more Linseed, for obvious reasons!

Broad leafed herbicide options in linseed are seriously limited. In the past Chekker and HBN would clear everything up cheaply. New label Chekker doesn't have the EAMU and bomoxynil is going. Premium Crops' website has a useful set of agronomy bulletins on linseed husbandry where weed control is discussed at length.

Missed the boat. Shame as MCPA would have sorted that.

Never seen much get past jubilee (or eagle) plus bromoxinil tbh.

Well it did. Charlock was too big. Had to prioritise c max in the spring.

No current approvals for MCPA in linseed, on or off label. I believe that @Premium Crops were looking at this.

Metsulfuron stunts the linseed but does do broad leafed weeds well.

Was it not approved in the past or did imagine it.

It was approved

Have had good experience from farmer mixing Eagle and Maya, apparently nuked it.
MCPA sadly cannot get approved. The french have MCPA approved for Flax, however it doesn't go into the animal food chain, so we could not get this product. No seed residues= no EAMU sadly, same goes for Chekker
