Stripper Straw and residual herbicides

[ajd132]

What are thoughts on zero tilling wheat into stripped spring oats straw and subsequent residual BG chemistry efficacy? Will be using flufenacet, pdm, dff and avadex.

Avadex be fine as its granular so should settle in the bottom.
However my experience with residuals and lots of trash and bg, says its difficult to hit the target, soil.
I guess the only way to mitigate against this issue is to go very high water rates, slow speed, straight down nozzles.

Tony Reynolds always say this is why he first bought a Stripper, residual herbicides were getting tied up in chopped straw and he thought sprays had more chance of getting to the soil surface if the straw is all standing straight up.

Spray in the rain if possible. Not as daft as it sounds but not torrential obviously.

Does the straw stand up again? It looks pretty flat after the combine has been through.

The chemistry should be ok but keep water rates up.
