Weed control in carrots and parsnips

[Little squeak]

Hi all, now that the last of my lineron is used up what do other carrot and parsnip growers use on peat land to control weeds pre and post emergence?

 

[woodylane]

Pendimethalin, DFF, metribuzin, Aclonifen ( but not with DFF), clomazone, Isoxaben, flumioxazine. Depends on the weed spectrum

Aclonifen ( but not with DFF), - missed this, explain please?

thanks for that Woodylane it's given me something to further research, alot of the residual effect of the products isn't as effective on the moss land and it was all rather weedy last year as the dry weather didn't help. I have used sencorex as a tank mix in the past but I think it was with lineron when dosaflow got banned I'm not sure if it would work with any of the above.

If aclonifen is tank mixed with dff and is then washed down with rainfall or irrigation you will get crop loss

Anthem, hurricane pre em followed by shotput at 4 WBH is a good mix

yes dry weather is certainly a big issue and seems to be more commonplace these days around sowing dates. We have a fair bit of moss land here in west lancs. An Emerger, Stomp, Gamit mix works well.

Goltix in Parsnips?

 

[Stuart J]

Has anyone been using Emerger post emergence in parsnips?

Safe enough and no crop damage at cotyledon stage?

Gas flame and hood.

following on from the pre-emergence where I applied emerger and stomp, the weeds I have left are mainly redshank and nettles. Has anyone used sencorex and defy (prosulfocarb) as a tank mix? I was considering sencorex at 200ml/ha at the 2-3 leaf stage what rate would you use the Defy at if it was mixed? Or is it just too strong and would they be better applied seperateley?

 

[JLLM]

Mate of mine has certainly used Sencorex on carrots, don't know about the Defy though.

 

[Little squeak]

gave the carrots a dose of sencorex at 200ml/ha today left out the defy will have to see if they need a follow on application

How do they look?
