Where can you find the "list of permitted active ingredients from Natural England" that can be used on Stewardship areas. Google doesn't seem to be much help.

Did you ever find out the answer to this query?

Planting spring oats this morning for the - low input harvested cereal option today and was wondering what pesticides we can apply to the crop.

Thanks in advance

Have you read the handbooks for the specific options?

What are the option codes. I'll look them up later. Amidosulfuron is the only one I remember seeing. That will sort smallish cleavers and a few others.

I was asking about the low input cereals option, can't recall the code as we didn't end up going for it

I'll find out - I have an interest in this too as this option will be used for brood strips for grey partridge, yellowhammers & linnets. I don't usually use in crop herbicides but cleavers have started to dominate where I've been doing this in the same spot for 5 years+.

How did this turn out ?,i am just contemplating a new scheme.My biggest fear is winter bird food crop seed germination after drilling and not being able to control it.
