Is Ally Max contact or residual herbicide as been quoted that.
As said has residual activity but not mentioned on the label. I know very liitle about oats but i'm led to believe that full rate ally max is very harsh on the crop. Despite what others have said i would want starane in the mix and cut the SU portion down a bit maybe? depending on how big the weeds are.

I've never grown oats so can't say definitely but ally is harsh on them and has a label rec not to be mixed with anything on triticale. I've tidied up a Wheat headland with half rate ally and half rate mcpa and where I caught the adjoining triticale it's bleached the leaves and made it look sick so I can quite believe that it is very harsh for oats too

I was led to believe the only sulfonylurea safe for use on spring oats was THOR, there is always a pot of it for my small area of oats, it hits redshank well provided its not to big.

I was always lead to believe you couldn't spray much in oats once up.
Maybe time moves on and product labels and recommendations change possibly?
