What has this seasons ryegrass control been like. Looks worse than ever for me even on delayed ww drilling and on some spring sown wheat.Tried every product in the book nothing works . Still looking for the answer.
 
Einbock harrow Or similar get through it when hot weather and crop not too big , set it aggressive and don’t look behind then through as often as you dare till barley or wheat won’t come back up , done a problem field like this will wait to see what rears it’s head above barley

Ryegrass patches in wheat have been very well controlled by Palio and wetter here. Similar to broadway star. Used Broadway star once before a few years ago and had poor results but couldn’t have asked for better this year. Maybe spraying In the evening late suited it better. Got one small patch due to be tackled this week in spring barley.

Palio and drill. Done right and not mixed with anything else. Nails ryegrass as big as an A4 page.

Why Drill not a non ionic wetter as recommended on the Palio/Broadway Star label? The oil gets through the waxy cuticle on the ryegrass better?
