Who's going ww in feb ?

- Start date
Othello always did the trick on any wheat that hadn’t had an autumn herbicide . Applied in March and sorted grass weeds , wild oats and broad leaves weeds tank mixed with Optica. My agronomist said it’s no longer available, but has a replacement . I used to think it worked better than the normal autumn residuals
They still make it .
Othello
Othello provides post-emergence control of meadow-grass and range of broad-leaved weeds in winter wheat crops. It contains mesosulfuron, iodosulfuron and diflufenican.

Last time I used it, I was spraying on the first opportunity in March , when my agronomist happened to ring. He said I hope your not doing the othello yet as it’s too cold, you will knock the wheat. I kept going as had a tank full . It did the best job ever on wild oats. Never saw one all year, and the wheat was fine.
Same as what? Atlantis? Yes, but different doses and has DFF in it to broaden the broadleaf spectrum which Atlantis isn’t that good at by itself. Adding CMPP helps too. Othello wouldn’t be strong enough for any blackgrass of any size bigger than a leaf or two but enough for oats and small annual meadow grass.

Why not use Broadway Star instead?

How do people think I would get on growing skyfall as a 3rd cereal as a spring crop compared to growing spring barley? Surely not worth it is it?
Not for me but maybe different in different parts of the country. What is latest safe sowing date on skyfall? I thought you dd ers liked to drill later in the spring? Wouldn’t be possible with a winter variety?
I’d say it would cost more than Othello. Bigger weed spectrum though.

I think for me to drill anything even if we could (which we cannot), I would need to see that the weather patterns of the last 11 weeks have stopped and at least give it a chance. At the moment I cannot see any evidence of that.

It will be April before water gets evaporating and soaking faster than it falls. It's a rare, rare season when we can go earlier than that. Exception was I think beans in 2009?
Yes it’ll be end March if we are lucky . Crops that have been drilled will need some early N, but when it’ll get it, is anyone’s guess .
Spring wheat here just got broadway star plus oil for grasses and it will do a fair amount of broadleaved weeds . 2 fungicides cheap old school with ctl and pgr . 180 KG HA of N or a bit less if chicken muck put on before drilling Yields around 3 ton an acre mark most years .
Thank you, TW15.
I am now spending the weekend deciding whether I should now either :-
(a) Give up WW or
(b) Move up to Dorset.
