Herbicide options after the rain...

[hobbyfrmr]

Boy are we going to get a flush of weeds and volunteers after this 3/10's of rain.

Wheat should be done any day now by crop staging and the weed staging for those that did manage to germ. Waiting for the newly germed to show up isn't a real good option.

Was thinking about something residual in wheat, have to do some research. Maybe Everest? But the residual I'd be looking for would be for broadleaves.... Don't think I have a lot of options!

Any suggestions? Any residual with Simplicity or Velocity?

I was going to make some sarcastic comment about spraying, then memory lane rolled out in front of me. I had hosted test plots on my farmland on a new chemical that became Everest. That's a long time ago. I recall the research rep was a really good person to work with....we used to reference him as "Tomachicken"

Anything from Dow with arylex.

Where do you get that from

Any Chem dealer will have it.
Paradigm..pixxaro..simplicity..
New one called cirpreme.

And here come the weeds and voluteers from last week's half inch of rain. Crop is advanced now...can feel a node/joint in lower main stem. Canopy will be closing and ground is kinda wet from yesterday's 1.94 inches of rain.

What a way to make a living. Work with the conditions you're given!

Wheat and flax left to spray, Flax can wait a bit longer but wheat window is closing fast.

Were almost done pass one of liberty and RR on Canola then its on to peas which are getting big might miss viper and just hit with assure for wild oats. They are clean.

Wheat and barley if it gets to big will get AXIL right up to flag.

Had a recommendation for Affinity FX and Axial. Both have advanced crop stage application timing.

Used it on all our wheat this year. Worked awesome, but wow kick the shit out of the wheat pretty good as well. I wonder if at that stage a axial/frontline mix would be a little easier on the crop if your at that stage.

Just got off the sprayer (I feel like an organic farmer, hobby ;-)). Interesting wheat crop. At home where the land(canola stubble) is a bit lighter but mallower had a better looking crop than the stuff a little further away where the land(flax stubble) is a bit heavier and tighter. The crop is beat up a bit from being too dry too long. The poorer stuff seems too advanced and spindly. The canopy never completely closed(and won't) the crop didn't seem to get into the thick vegetative stage and seemed to go into jointing/stem elongation early. The stuff at home is lusher. Establishment is "good" under the circumstances for all of it, there is the odd bit here and there that never germed but really minor detail.

The window for herbicide app is closing quickly. There's nodes felt/seen and a head forming in the elongated main stem of some plants. I usually had herbicides applied long before this late staging, so am a bit nervous. Fertility is adequate for a decent crop but it needed rain probably two to three weeks before it got it's first meaningful drink. .....I think the dryness took it's toll!

June 9-----.54 inches
June 14---1.94 inches
June 18----.11 inches
June. 19--- spraying with out rutting anything up

I bet the fellows that are too wet couldn't have sprayed effortlessly. It was sickeningly dry here.
