What rate on spring barley did you use . Also does it need an adigor type product added ?

Always done Axial pro on its own. Could it be when you sprayed it was a very dry period and wasn’t a growy period? Water rate perhaps?

Don’t think you need to with Axial PRO!

When you see simple incorrect things like that on the label, it then makes one wonder if they've got all the technical stuff right.

In the eyes of the law an SP sprayer is a 'specialised spraying tractor' as a telehandler is a 'materials handling tractor' - there is probably a required phrase in the CRD lebelling handbook, but I cannot find it.
The wild oats have gone now haven't they @czechmate

Suspect that if the product was applied late, the tillers that were present at the time got a real headache but others may have emerged from the (relatively mature) crown from meristematic tissue in the crown. I am sure I read somewhere that ACCase products don't seem able to pass through the crown well.
I used to use Axial at reduced rates early on and always had good control.

Surely more than 7 years? We’ve been here ) years and have used Axial every year as previous tenant liked to feed wild oats to his sheep (we have wild oats in fields that had never been ploughed previously, but had sheep being fed on them!). We still have them coming up thick if we ever leave a control strip, and in the beet currently there are loads screaming for a drink of a Falcon.
Got a field here we've been after for 30 years , it was grass from time in memorium

80 years they can stay dormant for I think

I can believe that
Ploughed a neighbour's field here a few years ago,father could remember it ploughed when he was a kid the year of the queens coronation in 52
f**k me never seen so many wild oats?
I've got a few pretty bad fields for oats . Both a mix of wilds and imported tame from dung . I missed rogueing for a few years due to working away from home , a knackered back one year then recovering from a back op the next . In 2018 I started to rogue one real bad field but gave up given the numbers . In 2019 I sprayed axial but left one tram just to see the difference . The barley canopy looked nice and clean while in the single tram I got 2 or 3 rogued bags , so was glad I sprayed rest .
This year due to very patchy spring barley emergence I didn't axial . Rogueing this year and in that single tram I only got about 8 oats , while the axial stuff is worse than ever , in fact a few patches have now been round upped rather than even try to hand rogue them .
I'm thinking the axial bumps off the early main shoot but let's plant spit out a tiller that stays below the barley canopy which doesn't get seen but blown out back of combine .

What rate of Axial, water volume, adjuvants and growth stage was it applied at please? I do Axial Pro at T2 and wonder if I’m getting the spray down to the bottom of the canopy well enough. There always seems to be a late flush coming up through the crop.
Axial .. rate .600 / ha, 55%, 200L/ ha, GS 30 this year.
4th year on the trot I've done this field ( I only need to do one field ), 2 years squeaky clean, 2 years I've had to follow up rogueing. Little farty things are difficult to spot, and pull up.
