Growth reg spring barley

[ollie989898]

In ideal conditions that lot might all be ok, given the stress these crops are likely to be under from the heat on days like today I doubt spraying all of it on in 1 go will make it looks particularly happy for a while.

Absolutely. I would not do it. I would decide what needed doing first and do that. The remainder can happen later. Mixing graminicides and SUs is not a good idea.

if it dosnt rain the growth reg and fungicide will not be needed

Nor the combine.

but if and when it does rain the barley will shoot through it's growth stages quickly and disease will be rampant, so pays ya money and takes ya chance ?‍

 

[Bobthebuilder]

if you don't spray the weeds off and it stays short or grows and goes flat it will be a pita to combine

What are peoples thoughts on fung and spring barley. Have herbicide to go on. Looks dry and warm til at least end of next week. Not the worse crop but certainly is not a record breaker.

If it does rain am I running the risk of it growing like stink and disease getting away?



Tbh not gonna bother, but asking opinion just to back up the decision I have already made ??

Mine has ryncho in it. Will get proline + pyrac

If anything like 2018 it won't be susceptible to disease if it races through growth stages. Ours had awns out at ankle height. No biomass. Canopy open.

As mentioned on other thread secondary growth biggest problem when it does rain.

Was through ours this morning, delighted with how its looking. Think the agronomist will be wanting to give some of it more pgr. It had cc750 with weed spray. But some of it is very lush. Flag leaf fully out now.

I won't bother unless weather looks like turning wet.

It's one field that had a lot of muck and other had cows outwintered on forage rape that looks worst. Your right that one will be okay.

Ours haven’t had herbicide yet very open now and struggling. Think flag leaf approaching. Going to do it I think, put a bit of ctl,mn and mag on last week.

It’s muck that makes the difference in my opinion, cattle haven’t paid well at all for a year or so but what they leave behind is priceless.

Walked our s barley/s oats yesterday, hardly a weed in them, so most will receive no herb, no pgr and if this dry run continues, no fungicide.
So with fs seed (no dressing), no till and only 120kg of n as home made liquid, it's gonna be a cheap crop to grow.

Don’t know ours has muck,roots and sheep wintering regularly but even that hasn’t helped this year.

Still haven’t used any growth reg on this . The dew must be keeping it going .

 

[Stevethemeat]

I tend to call them “dairy farmers tankmixes”
ie if you don’t put it in the tank this time through, I’m not bloody going back through, I’ve got silage too make and cows to milk...

You guess is not far from the mark [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

 

[Stevethemeat]

Thanks everyone for your help I just needed to bounce the pros and cons of the idea around rather than just take an agronomist word for it
However weather isant what I thought might happen so plan no longer required even this weeks rain has missed us so will have to re evaluate again in a few days [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

There is so much biomass there that the root mass must be equally nuts. It is clearly finding water from somewhere!

havnt done any pgr on spring barley, it seems pretty stiff. if it does fall over atleast we a new new combine coming with the convio flex header on !

Why not a macdon?
