year of the wild oat here

Interesting..I would say the opposite..Super clean fields..Flee beetles ate all the volunteer canola..
We post harvested the farm last fall..Zero thistles, dandelions..going to use cheaper stuff for broad leave this yr..First pass on canola is to kill volunteer wheat mostly..

There's been "weeds" as long as I've been farming.
Volunteers as weeds, weeds as weeds....
Once problem weeds...not so much now. New ones appear.... farming practices change the weed complex, convention versus organic versus continuous cropping.....

They aren't going away. They will be more persistant then you! What's controlling who?

Yup, fall app, no weeds, next impossible to KILL weed is FIELD HORSETAIL!
How many have that in low areas?
Only MCPA burns top growth, nothing gets roots, unless you use 3-5 L R'up per acre. Tried about 2 L in an unseeded spot, just hurt it a bit. Nothing in crop.

Very few weeds here. Kind of surprising since I didn't really spray last year. I have one Q with bad thistle that got missed last fall and it's peas if course. Burn off worked great. Express pro, authority or focus plus pursuit on pulses is working well enough I'm just topping up WO control. Treflan seems to be working good on mustard Using achieve infinity just mix things up on the Barley.

Lower than normal weed pressure here

Ya FJ field horsetail. Been using a lot of Prestige and Curtail. Seems to be helping.
Maybe clopyralid has some activity on it too?
Don't give it a free ticket for a year. It'll be back with a vengeance!
