Mayweed in winter wheat

[Jack Russell]

I have a field of winter wheat that didn't receive an Atlantis. It has a scattering of mayweed across it now. It is going into OSR next so wanted to avoid an SU but not sure what would be best. It is reasonably large. What would be my options? I was going to go flurasulam or a dicamba type route but it is a good bit more money.

Isn't florasulam an su??? Or is it just ALS mode of action.[emoji848]

My go to product for mayweed is thor (tribenuron) 15-20 gms has always done a good job of mayweed in barley.

If you want to avoid su's the only other option would be shield but I'd guess that would be dearer than the options you've mentioned.

I think it is an SU but supposed to breakdown quickly. I would ideally use shield but the cost is high. I just worry with a dry time and the Carry over into the OSR.

Florasulam is not SU but is an ALS.
