OSR growth reg

CCC was approved on OSR, then it wasn't, then it was, then (now) it isn't. From memory it didn't pull up any trees, not as effective as teb or met. Was a cheap option for those who just wanted to say they'd put a PGR on, e.g. to keep the combine driver happy.

30 units of n beginning of feb to wake it up to keep pigeons off and 50 units of sulphur. Agronomist recommended Toprex. Anyone had any results from this before.
Looks very thick, but good to see the whole field is all there. I would keep total N @ 190kg/ha max. Personally I find Caryx very expensive and in my own trials haven’t noticed any difference between treated and not.

Ime have found Caryx to work on strong osr coming out of winter.
Tramline trials showed visible effects, and visiblely taller where not applied. Same area was fair leaning come harvest, tho still standing just

If you can get hold of someone with a fert spinner on a demount sprayer body, I'd not put any more n on now, and put the last dose on as late as they can get through the crop without the discs cutting the heads off. Certainly doesn't need much encouragement now.

How angry a crop would have you reaching for Caryx?

Yep, but does it need impeding now?

Ours is knee high.
Hope we don't get late frost.

Ours went flat in places last year. No growth regulator. Looked a lot angrier than that.
I've growth regulator to go on ours in next few weeks. Will get a picture of it for you.
Ours was ridiculous height last year. Was a nightmare to combine. But did do 2.2t/acre. Was 1st year I've grown osr. Will be down hill from there!

That looks like it has decent sized plants, but not overly thick. And your down south so probably ten days ahead of us. In my experience it's the thin stemmed, 10kg fss crops that lodge more readily. I'd be thinking of how to reduce stem splitting from fast growing crops, so would be looking at my soil analysis.
If going with AN for last nitrogen, you can always delay that if concerned. Assuming it's not full of bugs I'd not be bothered.
To resurrect this thread.
Does this warrant Caryx or can I get away with a good whack of Teb instead? Moving quick and perhaps too late to get full use from Caryx? Could be another week before can get anything on.
@Jerry How is you monster osr looking now?
In middle of lambing so not seen it fur a couple weeks. Hopefully go look at end of week.

Just nipped over to look at it. Not had any N yet. Just poly sulphate.
Hope to have time to get some N on end of the week.
it’s about knee high with some plants mid thigh.
