Spring barley BLW control and rates

[Ormond]

Been given a recommendation for week control in spring barley.

75g/ ha counter sx
0.3 l/ha Pixxaro

Seems a heavy dose to me.....just the usual suspects to deal with and not too big atvthr moment. Advice needed. Thanks

What would you consider an appropriate mix?

Max dose of counter sx is 100g so around 45/50g ......Pixxaro 0.15 to 0.2. Never used Pixxaro before

What’s the weeds profile?

I used Pixxaro once, when we had a serviced agronomist. Isn't the main advantage of it that you can go in late? It's certainly not the price!

My SB recc has just come through this morning. 5g/ha Ally Max sx + ).9L Compitox Plus, cheap & cheerful. That's for a carpet of blw coming up in ex turnip ground.

5gms/ha Ally Max.... surely a typo?

What are the usual suspects? Pretty difficult to give an opinion of your situation if only half a story. I’m using Pixxaro on a lot of farms as Fat hen is going crazy this spring. It’s an excellent product and allows you to wait longer to control two flushes of BLW

60gm Inka +0.4l compitox plus here.

What’s the 0.4l of compitox plus for?

An excellent mix if you have a wide range of BLW’s, I’d call it “The Moss mix”

11% rate, according to the recc sheet. Weeds (& barley) are still small yet, having been drilled late.

We don't have it as easy as some of you guys, so couldn't dream of drilling in February. Sheep are still grazing it until early April.

Regardless of the size of the weeds, I’m not sure there would be any point in putting in 5gms ally max.

 

[robbie]

It doesn't sound right to me using such a small amount BUT this year after spraying a spring barley field with ally max and mcpa I put 600 Lt of water into a empty but not drained spray tank to wash out and used that water to do 10 acre of MN as the first rinse. What little chem was still in the system has killed all the cotyledon fathen,chick weed and mayweed in the 10 acres I sprayed and it would hardly have been much more than a gram or 2 a ha!!!!!!!

My recc was to use up the remains of a pot I have left from the Winter Barley. The Compitox alone would likely have done for the blw we have currently tbh.

Basically using it up cos it’s been here a long time,better control of docks too.

That makes more sense if you are just using it up

 

[Flat 10]

I’ve never tried it but someone on here swore by 15g ally, 0.5starane and 0.5mcpa for small weeds
