With winter barley and oats approaching growth 31/32 and wheat at or around growth stage 31, some key applications are either happening or are imminent.
Wild oats
Wild oats that have not already been treated, should get priority.
According to Billy Cotter of Syngenta: “Wild oats are better controlled at earlier growth stages. It is important to get herbicides, like Axial Pro, on to the tillers as well as the main stem before crop shading becomes an issue. Avoid spraying when the wild oats are not growing actively, keep to recommended rates and follow sequencing guidelines around broadleaf herbicides to get best results.”
