Veg weeds

[Alan young]

hello folks.... up in cumbria here ....my farms always grown veg to sell off the farm steading and like so many others I have been thwarted by the removal of so many herbicide products to control weeds .... so just a quick question as up here theres no too much info around as to sprays due too not that much veg growing.... what's the best thing to spray weeds in carrots these days.... and I have used sultan(butisan)pre emergence in my brassicas and swedes but still got redshanks...is there anything other than hoeing that I could spray with post emergence.... iv heard of dow sheild 400 but it's no suppose to do much with redshank... any experience or advice much appreciated thanks

Sheild is good on redshank & groundsill but the swedes need to be bigger than the redshank for best effect.

Redshank is the worst weed in brassicas nothing really touches it.lentagran post em with a touch of clomazone on small weeds is your best chance.a sharp hoe or well set up spring tine is as good as anything

 

[Bigjon44]

Emerger on pre em is very good providing you get a bit of moisture

You will have to check the current legalities, for usage on veg , stomp aqua mixed with sultan, or gammit on it's own.

Might it be possible to get an effect with Emerger? legal in carrots up to 2 true leaves of crop. Would be better applied as a pre-em though
