Lush spring barley
- Thread starter Ormond
- Start date
Yes but later you leave it more harm it does
0.5 on flag leaf is less stressful to plant, you’ll scorch awns late and practically stop head in leaf sheath
Hmmm, after todays little drop of rain I can see it motoring on, Will make a decision tomorrow after a good walk around.
Its mainly sienna that does not brackle too badly.
Decisions decisions!
Cheers just hope I can keep it standing. Flat stuff is no use.
By contrast this was my barley last year in June . A month late getting drilled and was late getting the fert on , then it never rained for about 8 weeks . Still have no idea how we got near 2 ton an acre of grain off the crappy straw we baled , only getting 2 4x4 bales to the acre.
Has yours had any other growth reg.Been at the same job today. Did the lot at 0.5lLt/ha.
Amazing amount of soft growth since the T1/weed control went on a week ago.
Total opposite of last year
Made a start on mine today but wondering if in hind sight an earlier 3c and moddus pass , would have been better than single 0.5 cerone now
Mines to get axial in places so hopefully not too hot

Too late for spring oats! Was out putting pgr on these this afternoon. 0.4kg/ha meda max.
Everythings gone nuts in the past week. Roots must have found resisual N from stubble turnips/kale/muck.
One field of spring barley i did with canopy last weeks going to need something else. Its looking like silage.

Yeah, i was through most of our spring crops yesterday, total opposite to last year
No, I’ve never had to put growth reg on spring barley before this year.
In hindsight something before now would have been better but things just taken off since rain first arrived a fortnight ago. Crop looked pretty normal prior to that.
Combination of an ideal spring, more residual N after a year of dry weather and a higher seed rate owing to it being 57tgw. Of course every one of them seems to have germinated
Will be very surprised if mine makes it to harvest without lodging.
Talking of lush growth, my wheat is as tall as I’ve seen it this year, and I’ve noticed some down this afternoon, after today’s 25mm.
A neighbour has a field of OSR that’s pretty flat as well. I’ve cut back on fertiliser and this particular field has had more growth reg.
not what we want this early.

25mm! Only 3.5mm here. Stuff keeping going but still very dry at any depth
Do people still use Terpal and Cerone? We used to use it until we discovered Moddus. I'm no cropping expert being a humble dairy farmer but there's no comparison in my mind; a well time application of Moddus does a far better job of keeping a crop standing than Terpal or Cerone.
That was kinda what I was getting at . Cerone at 0.5 is a full rate dose . Moddus or 3c early and then possibly 0.25 cerone later would be far kinder imo and should build up regulation in stages rather than a all in one hit .
Can't help but feel it's all a bit late now for these big panic doses . I know canopy is sold out with agrii, could other brands be short too with all sellers , so we're having to take terpal/cerone as more available for the spring barley
Yes - you can react to a lush crop later on. If it looks like a jungle early on then I'll use early PGRs like Moddus and/or chlormequat. A sequence isn't a bad thing if you know your risk is high. Moddus can be quite harsh on a crop too.
I find adama Optimus a lot kinder on crops, modus is harsh
