Only finished my T2's yesterday and even then the flag leaf wasn't a 100% out.

Have you waited for the flag leaf to fully emerge? Or just got on and kept a 20 day interval with the T1?

done about 30% so far (yesterday)- another 20% will get done today but the rest won't be ready until early next week

Done over the weekend, crops a bit uneven, most flags were right to be hit but some on the small tillers still emerging was 27 days since T1 so decided to cover the majority. To be hot and sunny this week so also wanted to get done before plants become more susceptible to scorch. Head spray on W Barley this evening, flowering away. The year it feels is starting to catch up and move on.

Early October sown Diego has ears half out. November sown slug thinned Invicta only just has flag 1/3 out.

Only 10% wheat left to spray where flag not out enough to stick the 1 litre Aviator on & where T1 was applied 16 days ago.

A few cleavers about despite spring Broadway Star applied a while ago so a bit of generic Starane going in here & there.

amazing the different growth stages for different areas.
we have some september sown wheat only just coming to flag, nothing has ears showing yet. winter barley is in ear but still a little patchy in emergance.

With ours i think the wheat even though it was drilled over nearly 3 months will come into ear around the same time or within a week or 2.
Nice to see some ears about though.

I have never seen cleavers survive a dose of Broadway Star, what rate did you use?

Full rate in April. It can supress them long enough for the crop to smother them - frequently it is enough. A couple of spray misses show how well it works.
