How was Broadway Star performed on Brome this year?

[SilliamWhale]

Had really poor control this year. Not sure why after a couple of good control years.

What's everyone else' feeling?

I was just thinking what a great job it’s done here

Me too . went later than advisable as I think it works better in warmer weather

Not used it here but the residuals have done a great job on Brome judging by corners and misses

BG control pretty poor this year though

Same here

Broadway did a pretty good job here this year, however on some bad brome fields I switched to pacifica plus as I thought it would be a bit spicier. Control from that sucked, barely any kill at all. Sprayed on the same day but you can see it to the line.

Depends. Any of the Meadow/Rye Bromes = complete waste of time. Sterile Brome = good.

What type of Bromes and what Pre-em? Flufanacet, DFF and Avadex Factor doesn't seem to have touch Meadow/Rye Bromes here.

I think BS gives good bang for buck in comparison to some chemicals . Simplifies the storage cupboard

Mainly Meadow Brome
Similar actives used but Excel rather than Factor
It may be more the amount ? My usage is “full on BG mode” levels

I have found a spray that kills all the bromes

Looks very good but under the canopy there is a reasonable amount of small stunted brome. So can't complain given the very mild winter we've had.

Anyone have any suggestions for the rolls royce pre-em treatment for sterile brome?
Crystal or Liberator + Avadex?

Thanks to some shite barley seed from Frontier I had a fair issue with brome , BS has kicked it's arse , and will finish it next year ,
V pleased

Any one getting sterile brome coming up in spring barley? Was wondering if Pendemethelin as a pre em would work? Have rate liberator doesn’t. Seem to get it creeping in from the banks.

Difficult to shift in barley , grow wheat and mince it next year

Easier said than done. Can’t do second wheat and SB pays well for malting. My worst field just came out of wheat and had broadway around the outsides.

Got some meadow brome in barley, Will two years spring cropping diminish it. Fodder beet one crop ?

Broadway Star has done a reasonably good job this year, but under the canopy there is an understory of stunted plants producing some seeds, will these be viable .
For brome control, B Star is best used in the autumn.
