Spring wheat volunteers.

Very high levels of S. Wheat volunteers in this W. Wheat, Unsure how to treat a crop like this going forward??

Got the same in winter barley which isn't handy , couldn't have left it any later to chit and spray off or wouldn't have got barley drilled , another hangover from a bad year I'm afraid.

Not really anything you can do. I'd treat it like a winter wheat crop and accept that the spring wheat might mean adding some mildewicide, and look scruffy.

It will certainly need Mildew control as the W. Wheat is Leeds!! Not very fashionable now but using seed from 2019.

Mine looks similar, will be treating it as WW. Black grass suppression is brilliant

Be thankful its the same species and not Barley in your wheat or wheat in your barley.

We've got the same - and spring barley in winter barley. Not too concerned with the former but disease in the latter is worrying.

Treat as for a winter crop. Ignore the scruffy looks and keep an eye out for mildew. May not be very even come harvest, if necessary preharvest round up, don't go mad with the rate.
