Herbicides against wild oats


Question

WHAT herbicide would be most suitable for controlling wild oats in winter barley this spring? No herbicide was applied in autumn


Response

Debbie Beaton, Crops magazine



Answer

A GLANCE at the herbicides guide in Crops, 30 January issue, suggests a number of options including Topik from Novartis, Avenge from Cyanamid and Cheetah from AgrEvo.

However, Flamprop-M-Isopropyl (Commando) from Cyanamid is listed as a specific wild oat killer, useful for late, fire-engine treatments. But do check with the manufacturer on rate and timing of use on winter barley,
