Seem to be more of a problem every year around this time.what are people using to take them out or would a higher rate of stomp/picona in autumn be more effective?
Same here every year I get more of it. It comes through autumn PDM and dff, picolinafen is supposed to be better but not good enough. Ally max sorts it but so does a lot of other stuff, I think from memory tribenuron is the strongest SU, florasulam will do it aswell so will arylex it just depends what else is in the crop that needs sorting at the same time.
Brittox where are you now.....?
Remember this coming on sale and the mayweed problem on this farm disappeared overnight. Mecocrop wasn't it, with CMPP or something??
when I look at my weed burden and chemical spend I wounder what message nature is trying to get across to me.Nature is telling you.
you need to do some soil testing.
Oh yes, on a warm day, it sure was volatile, you could smell it from miles away.Brittox had the ester formulation of Mecoprop which was volatile and had the ability to kill beans on the next parish.
It was replaced with Swipe, which had the more stable salt formulation.
Think both also contained ioxy/bromoxynil.
The massage from Mother Nature Please can you help me !when I look at my weed burden and chemical spend I wounder what message nature is trying to get across to me.
Every field tested every other year, thousands of tons of muck spread and alot of pH of 6.6 and 7, just a very high weed seed burden where so much organic matter is added.The massage from Mother Nature Please can you help me !
To lift my PH levels allowing me to perform better to grow better cereals crops and out complete with weeds.
There is lots of weeds that start to grow when PH levels start to drop and mayweed one of them
This is quite basic botany.

I done think a crop will ever out grow a cleaver.

Mayweed and particularly groundsel seems to be getting more of a problem every year. Groundsel can be a bit of a bugger to control.
