That's because there is very little sown in East Cork

Wetest tillage field now on the farm, I’d say the rain has shook the oats a lot they only look okay, just about safe to travel

What are you spraying that with ?

Dff and aphicide
If that's your wettest field your doing well, there's many a field in the south east that you wouldn't have a hope of spraying

Ya I am happy enough with ground conditions here this year, then again I did pull the plug with any very middling ground that I had in tillage, it just wasn’t worth it
Is there many of the latter about atm?? Would have thought the cold weather thats meant to be on the way for the end of next week will knock them back

From my own understanding of it The cold should stop flight but if they are already in it, it will do nothing. I had a look during week and found aphids on plants If I didn’t I don’t think I would have bothered spraying a weed spray at all I would have just waited until March and gone with a herbicide then

Snap, my Husky sown the same date as yours, today was the first time I walked it in ages. It’s starting to stretch in the last two weeks.

The good old quandary is to roll or not to roll.
I did roll winter barley in Feb one year but WB is always very flat on the ground, it worked out fine.
The Oats is over 6’’ tall now and very upright. Would I do harm to it by rolling? I hate running the risk of picking up stones if it gets lodged.

Bog Man is always right. Except in his own kitchen. Never argue with the cook. Most men that are stabbed to death are within six foot of the kitchen sink.

Not very happy with how oats look compared to barley, DFF has a great job done on weeds. Even grass

The last picture I put in the WB thread was sprayed same day as oats but that got .110 of DFF while the oats got the full rate, frost came about 4 days after being sprayed

Just my opinion, I have got caught with spray residue and frost on my own Oats before, so no offense intended.
1) Stomp is a bastard to wash out properly and any little bit along with the DFF is very tough on Oats.
2) Frost and DFF on Oats doesn't mix.
3) Severe Zinc deficiency can cause that chlorosis on young leaves, but the old leaves damage doesn't look like Zn to me.

No offence taken at all gone, information like that is worth a fortune to me, that was my first time spraying winter oats in winter, the rinse out would have been middling now after stomp and the frost and possibly zinc, I must try get zinc spray this season

If that oats is husky then it does that every year it’s just some sort of a trait it has
