Notice my field of Graham has tipped flag leaf. Not obvious on other varietys. Is this a feature of the variety or maybe spray damage. Did notice a headland that has a high hedge beside it has less.

I've a field of Graham same as that, only walked by it an hour ago moving cattle.
It wasn't tipped when I was spraying t2 so kinda blaming that. I've costello in another block of ground, I might go look this evening and see as they both got t2 the same day, same mix also.

Experiencing the same in my field of Graham wheat.

I can’t really remember but I do not think there was frost or wind around that time. Must be varietal so more than anything. JB was a divil for tipping too for no reason.

Noticed quite a few fields around here tipped now. Agronomist says variety issue.

Have Graham and Costello in the one field and seen the same yesterday. Would always have thought Costello would be more prone to tipping. The Graham is slightly more advanced too if that has anything to do with it.

Tipping happening in the Costello here in Galway too, thank you strangers of the internet that convinced me not to disc this out

In your second picture there is canary grass, if that land is fresh into tillage do everything you can to keep it out, can be extremely invasive if not controlled.

Are you sure?
Looks way more like Timothy to me, but I am not an expert.
Timothy would be much more common after poorish ley.
A better picture of the whole plant needed to be sure.

Yea it’s Timothy. I’ve see far too much canary grass!!!

If in doubt, canary grass typically has a red colour to the sap. Easy enough to control at the moment with Axial but expensive.

Delighted to be wrong, I remember the first plant of canary grass I saw here, didn't know what it was and I have regretted ever since not pulling it. It cost me thousands as never sprayed for wild oats before that.

I looked long and hard, trying to be supper sure before I posted anything questioning your post.
As you say would be better to hand rogue an acre full of Timothy rather than miss a few Canary or black grass.

Off topic for this thread I’m sorry but walking winter barley here, is this canary grass ?

Definitely not canary grass.
Is there much of it?
If it's only a small patch pull it and put it into bags and bring to a safe spot for burning.

 

[Blackwater boy]

Graham that’s tipped from weather and variety nothing more. It’s healthy out.

Foxtail? I think Timothy has a coarser head.
