How late with roundup to stop wild oat seed

[czechmate]

So, after a catastrophic winter barley crop (I suppose because of it) I now have an unbelievable block of wild oats .
I hadn’t even seen one here before
Some barley is below 30%, some isn’t, of course being such a poor crop it is very variable.
Wild oats are watery to milky. How long have I got to prevent them becoming viable please?
Break crop next year was going to be...
Oats
I can change that plan to beans

Put the lot through the chopper?

 

[czechmate]

Well there is barley there, which I use to feed cattle

 

[Breakthru]

Make it into arable silage. Will feed well.

Due to the long drought, our wild oats here are much earlier than yours and have been threatening to drop viable seeds already.

Fortunately, we have pulled them all up and now set fire to them before the hindrance of rain intervened

Can you use pre harvest glyphosate?

dont you start...

 

[Brisel]

dont you start...

Why? Are you bio?

 

[czechmate]

This has been such a puzzle to me - where they came from. Just discussing with the wife, and suddenly remembered the last job the year before was helping next door finish harvest and this patch was the beginning of last year harvest

How far behind the barley are they ? if they're a fair bit behind roundup is the only answer .
You can tell the cattle before you feed it .

 

[czechmate]

Why? Are you bio?

NO

but the wife thinks we are not allowed to decicate with roundup...

Barley 30%
wild oats watery/milky. I am sure the barley will be on the floor by the time the WO will go through the combine.
My question was how mature can I allow the WO to get? Just trying to get the most out of the very poor barley

I'd be more concerned having a bigger area of the f**kin things next year .

The essential point, as with all weed elimination, is to ensure no viable seed ever hitting the ground.

 

[organicguy]

Wild oats have the ability to produce a viable seed at very low grain fill. I suspect that you will have viable seed already, not knowing how much effect the roundup up will have on viability. You could collect some seed and let us all know how early it is viable.
First loss is least loss, get it cut off.

And spread them next year with the manure

And spread them next year with the manure

milky ripe are unlikely to be viable plus if you bag them or ensile them that should also denature them

Yes. Heaven forbid I need to start arsing around with a plough

An application of Fenoxaprop should strangle them enough to make them unviable??
Might be a bit pass the the growth stage for barley use tho ??‍

 

[Brisel]

Glyphosate will work far quicker than fenoxaprop. Send the wife out shopping for a few hours!
