What’s your typical shortening program on winter oats ? One pgr at GS32 ?Is Winter Oats at GS32?
Mine is a long way from it.
There is always a world of money spent shortening the first inter node on Oats by 1/2".
I can never see any advantage in it, I have never seen Oats lodge at the first inter node.
On Husky and Isabel I would go with 2L/ha of CeCeCe at or just after GS32.What’s your typical shortening program on winter oats ? One pgr at GS32 ?

We have the first PGR on the oats (Barra) 12 days now. It's not so much the shortening effect but the stem wall thickening and strengthening effect of the trinexypac (moddus etc) in the GS31 PGR that makes the crop more resilient from my experience.Is Winter Oats at GS32?

Moddus is a very different PGR. as you state, and it makes sense to get it on.We have the first PGR on the oats (Barra) 12 days now.

Should be OK, it is the sudden shock freezes that catch Oats out, there has been no period of very fast lush growth and a sudden frost, the Oats has been hardy all along.The oats have to be feeling the pressure, minus 1 last night for a while.
Same story here. A prothio SDHI mix was recommended but I went for a generic Folicur at 1.0L along with 0.2 Talius.I topped up my talius at t2 with a good shot of generic folicur, cheap and cheerful after a cold dry spring. Will go with elatus for t3
Doing the same myself Tuesday evening.First evening you would see the field "whitening" as the head is coming on strong. Grew more today than the last 10 days!
Elatus Era and Mg tomorrow evening hopefully or else Tuesday.View attachment 92464View attachment 92465
