Poppys in winter Barley

[Driller]

As title... we’ve got loads of Poppys in our winter Barley this year, could it have been in the seed? Only thing I’ve done different this year is sumoed instead of ploughing a seed bed, could it be that?
Cheers!

What herbicides have you applied? Does your seed bank have a natural population of Poppies?

Never had poppies here till we sew a new grass ley. Definitely came in the grass seed bags.

Had a field like that many years ago, when we used to grow peas.

Herbicides applied were, liberator(flufenacet,diflufenican)with the first application of cypermethrin, than a second of spigot(fenpropimorh) with another cypermethrin and a 3rd of prompt(mecoprop-P, dicamba) obviously with fungicides thrown in.

Spigot is a fungicide.
Poppies are moderately susceptible to Prompt, but (not knowing the specifics of your land and weed burdens) I’d have gone with a more broad spectrum herbicide such as Ally Max or more likely Zypar.

We’ve never had issues with poppies before, I was wandering if it was because we didn’t plough this year?

Do you have an agronomist?
If so ask him why he didn’t pick up on it in the spring when you could have sprayed them.

If it’s a field by the road tell him you are going to put a big sign saying Agronomy Services by “Bill Smith”, poppy lover

I seriously doubt that

Poppy seed has a life span of decades.

I’ve got more than usual this year despite treating all my osr with Astrokerb that bowls them over. I think this is just a season that has suited them.

 

[Farmer Ben]

We’ve had this problem before. On the sandy soils we moved away from liberator. The poppies managed to survive, then were too big for the spring herbicides.

Pdm is best of current legal autumn herbs I think on poppies.

 

[4course]

weve got some creeping in from the rewilding effects of the bloody council and there latest policy of sowing verges and grassy junctions with wild flower mix ,this is to avoid cutting them but the number of thistles and dandelions encroaching will mean somebody will !!!

For pre em, yes.

For those of you with poppies remaining in cereals, what herbicides have you used this spring? Just sulphonyl ureas?

I’ve forgotten what hormone herbicides do poppies... can someone remind me please? MCPA? Mecoprop?
