Have all my wild oat seed germinated by now

[will_mck]

As above, I've sown Spring Barley at the end of March/start of April. It's all tillering away at the moment, 3 leaf's plus, with the usual weeds starting to appear, I see wild oats coming too in the tramlines. After a dry month we're getting a real growthy period of weather with heat and rain here yesterday and today. I intend to spray Oskar this weekend but I'm wondering will there be more yet to germinate? I'm on a tight schedule as in 7 days time I'd need to be going again with a herbicide to take out chickweed etc before they take over

I grow wild oats all year round .

Once the crop closes over I wouldn't think there would be much more germinate.

Your other option us to keep the oscar for next year, spray the weeds now and come back with axial later. The only problem with that is it's a lot dearer than oscar and if your using a hormone weed killer you need a 21 day interval but atleast by then you'll know everything has germinated.

you can wait and do axial first......then hormone blw 7 days later

I used to use axial regularly but now only use it if I'm absolutely beat because of the price and I've seen it kill off wild oat plants and the same plant put out another tiller and start growing again. This was under good growing conditions and at an old rate of 0.3l/ha and a litre of adigor. It's too expensive for that to be happening!

Yes, but if he's doing it that way around he may as well use the oscar and save a few quid. Also he will still have the problem of not knowing if everything has germinated.

Axial and Ally in the tank together do both jobs next week.

Yes Axial is expensive but rougeing wild oats is not fun either.

Mixing wild oats spray and weed spray? I thought they need 1-3 weeks apart?

Only hormone herbicides need a gap. Either 7 days after Axial or 21 days if applying Axial after a hormone herbicide.

Ally is an approved tank mix of Axial.
