Cereal Herbicides

Spring Product Range

Whether as a clean-up opportunity or to tackle weeds early before they grow away, effective spring weed control is crucial for supporting healthy crop growth and preventing yield loss.

Cost-effective weed control in cereal crops this spring.

Spring is a critical time to take control of broad-leaved weeds in cereal crops.

Effective spring herbicide programmes help support crop competitiveness against weeds, particularly in thin or backward crops where weeds pose a greater risk.

Checking crop condition and weed populations early allows growers to tailor their approach, especially where autumn control hasn’t been fully effective or additional weed flushes have emerged.

Clayton’s spring herbicide range offers reliable, cost-effective solutions for broadspectrum control across all key cereal types, including wheat, barley, oats, rye, triticale, and spelt.

Our herbicide range is designed to suit a wide variety of grower situations, whether targeting chickweed and cleavers, tough mayweeds, or a broad mix of problem species.

SPRING CEREAL HERBICIDES - PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Broad-leaved weeds Resistance Management

To help prevent the build-up of resistant weed populations, namely Chickweed, Poppy, Groundsel and Mayweed, the following strategies should be considered:

• Crop rotations, avoid repeated use of sulphonyl-urea herbicides in mono crop situations.

• Monitoring and testing where weed resistance is suspected.

• Avoid applications of reduced rates to weeds beyond the target growth stage for control.

• Alternative modes of actions either in sequences and/or tank mixtures.

Suggested herbicide strategies for key weed species:

• Chickweed - use of preemergence herbicides and/or tank mixtures with fluroxypyr.

• Groundsel & Poppy – use of pendimethalin in the programme.

• Mayweed – tank-mixtures or sequences with clopyralid.

AUTUMN CEREAL HERBICIDES - PRODUCT OVERVIEW

What are the benefits of early weed control?

Early season weed control is vital for establishing cereal crops successfully. Weeds compete with emerging crops for light, soil moisture and nutrients, so can severely damage yield potential in the early stages.

Tackling weeds effectively before crop emergence and in the first 7-10 days after crop emergence will protect against yield losses.

Blackgrass Focus

For certain weeds including blackgrass there are very few effective post-emergence herbicides, so tackling these weeds early is the only effective option.

Typically, as few as 10 blackgrass plants/ m2 can lead to a potential 5-10% yield loss in winter wheat, so both cultural control and targeted chemistry are essential in an effective blackgrass management strategy.

Cultural practices like delaying drilling until mid-October allow stale seedbed techniques to be used pre-drilling helping to provide a better platform for preemergence herbicides.

Sufficient soil moisture is important for blackgrass germination and the efficacy of residual herbicides therefore cultivation techniques should be managed accordingly.

Good practice for best performance from pre-emergence herbicides is to ensure a consolidated seedbed, without trash or too many clods.

Effective timing (applying pre-ems within 48 hours of drilling) will further improve overall product performance.

Product choice remains vital to tackling blackgrass on farm with ‘residual stacking’ of core active ingredients often necessary to manage populations effectively.

Why effective residual stacking is vital for blackgrass control.

Tank mixes (where several products are applied together) or stacking and sequencing (where several products are applied in close succession) are more effective at controlling grass weed populations than individual products.

Residual modes of action are vital for effective blackgrass control and preemergence options are less affected by resistance issues than some post emergence options.

Recent AHDB research highlighted flufenacet as a key active to start with in blackgrass control programmes and that further actives are then necessary to achieve good levels of control.

Our flufenacet co-formulated products Clayton Facet XL and Sabre XL formulated to a high quality, offer a great start point for weed control this autumn.

The herbicide stack should be tailored according to the specific farm and field situation to maximise overall control levels based on the individual weed burden and spectrum, assessing the need for broadleaved weed control as well as grass weed control.

With a supporting range of herbicides containing key actives such as prosulfocarb (Clayton Comply) and diflufenican (Clayton El Nino) this allows for a robust, targeted programme or partner products which can be adapted to individual situations.

Our products provide choice and flexibility for target treatments in the autumn pre-emergence, early post-emergence or late post-emergence timings.
