How late with roundup to stop wild oat seed

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:scratchhead:
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 :ROFLMAO:
I can change that plan to beans :)

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:banghead:

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 .

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 .
