Winter beans drilled, well up, but no chem applied. what options?

[spikeislander]

As title got 100 acres of tundra beans up and growing, they look very well so pleased . But due to weather I’ve not been able to get any pre em on .
It’s quite a clean block for black grass so I’m not to worried and have the option of centurion max, my main concern is blw’s ,although late drilled and roundupped pre drilling and low numbers now I’m sure there will be some come.
What are my options?
They are thick so should compete and I can tidy the fields up next crop but I’d prefer if they didn’t look a mess.

Centurion max is not an option for beans

Oh everyday is a school day .[emoji6]

Not even with a eamu?

We drilled all but 15 ha of our winter beans about 7 weeks ago. Like yours they are all up and looking very well albeit a month behind where I would like to see them. We did manage to get Kerb on them and it has done / is doing a cracking job this year. I think your legal options are quite limited.

For broad leafed weeds post emergence you're really limited to bentazone + oil, which is expensive and not very effective.

Crawler will do chickweed and speedwells. Otherwise, not many options .

Same here , drilled on 35 cm rows. Narrow wheels on little fergy and through with tine weeder like organic guys

Will you do it again if you get a flush of weeds before the stems extend?

Sorry - misread your post. I thought you were referring to inter-row hoeing. My bad. Just the once then.

I believe that kerb has post em approval in France.....
Not sure about pdm. Obviously not legal.
I miss simazine

But broad beans fresh aren’t field beans?

 

[spikeislander]

I might be dreaming this, and need some big kahunas but I thought I’d heard of low rate roundup being used? Possibly in spring when they are big and very waxed up.?
Obviously not recommended but am I going mad?

 

[Badshot]

Yes, mad.

 

[Mr Charisma]

Hmmmm, difficult one. Knowing what a huge mess I can get in with BLW in winter beans I've always said I would never drill them if getting a pre em was looking unlikely.
Thank god I haven't been in the situation that I might of been able to get into a field with a bean drill this year

half a litre of glyphosate

No. But it’s clearly not on the label.

That's true, however it is approved for field beans too.

C max is the one I was thinking of.
