I haven’t yet. I did do it last year on some extase to predict yield and it did actually work.Do you count the ears at all?
Considering doing thisGoing back to the Broadway Star brome control thing, or lack of, has anyone used it in autumn ?
I tried one headland last autumn where the crop was going backwards as the brome was so thick in a few patches, sprayed in late November after an application in October of 2ltrs of pdm, the result was completely control of the brome and no spring recovery of the fecking stuff.
I've only used BWS in the autumn once and can't remember what for but must say it did a great job.Going back to the Broadway Star brome control thing, or lack of, has anyone used it in autumn ?

Yeah I used some bandur/liberator mix on one particularly rye grassy field and have seen only about half of what usually comes through so this may be the way forward!!I've only used BWS in the autumn once and can't remember what for but must say it did a great job.
Been using Bandur as part of our Autumn pre em and certainly seems to be helping with the Ryegrass.

I am pretty anal about getting pre Ems on and getting them on right, just had the forager in to contract land to wholecrop some that the Ryegrass has completely beaten us. Luckily we have hungry dairy neighbours.Yes, I have used it in the autumn before. There is or certainly was a BWS + PDM type product specifically aimed at autumn used, can't remember what it was called. Obviously it was designed for a follow up treatment of a pre-em where you wouldn't overload your max dose of PDM in the crop. Also, with the crop at a much earlier growth stage you had a better 'view' and go at the weeds.
I do think the rafts of farmers who historically never used any autumn/residual herbicides have not helped themselves much. Yes, a one pass wonder in march might have been nice and cheap but you put so much pressure on an ever dwindling pool of actives and many of them use the same modes of action these days.
