Winter oats not looking happy at the moment!

[Brisel]

Forgive my ignorance - why's that?

Residues found in the oats post harvest.

0.4 of Liberator is OK, never had any dead in overlaps either.
How good is liberator on wild oats?

As kind as it is on the tame ones....

 

[Breakthru]

Dishwasher tablets or de sangosse tank and equipment cleaner are allegedly very good.
how much moddus @Two Tone ?

Amazing stuff be it getting rid of Clothes conditioner build up in washing machines causing a smell or in our case stopping Bthru leaving residues in the spray lines complete with SU's or whatever. Magic product.

Hardy things.

Hardy things.

I thought they were a bit soft to be honest the way they suffered.

To be fair I can see why you were worried

I don't worry very easily.

All the winter oats I was over were stunted most by the frosts and sub zero winds so the recovery pictured is fantastic!

I don't worry very easily.

How much did it worry your agronomist?

 

[JCfarmer]

Not a lot

Be interesting to see how they yield..

 

[JCfarmer]

After quite a few farmers seeing winter oats suffer this year I hope they have bounced back and yield ok, agronomist is very experienced but we did a few words and he was sure they would recover.

I think yours looked well compared to how mine looked on 1/5/21

21 days later, they look like this

I honestly can't believe how they've recovered

If they do 4t/acre, which is quite possible now with enough rain, OP's agronomist can justifiably claim complete success for his cunning plan to induce a drought-like early setback.

One of the best yields of WO in this area one year was from a very forward field that was then grazed by sheep. Set it back big time but out yielded everything else.

Better making grain not straw (in my part of the country anyway).

Too late to do anything about it but tips of the flag leaves are going yellow. Is it just stress?

No sprays since last autumn. Its on a very sandy field with a low index for Phosphate but its had 100kg TSP last autumn and 200Kg 15-15-15 with 23 sulphur in the spring.

No trace elements applied though because we haven't sprayed any fungicides.

Ideas? There is a small patch of wheat at the other end of the field (we ran out of seed) , I shall go and have a look later to see if its the same
