Arable farmers face a challenge in battling wild oats this spring due to limited opportunities to create stale seedbeds or apply autumn herbicides.
Kirsty McKenzie, commercial technical manager at FMC, said that traditional strategies, like utilising stale seedbeds for early control of wild oats, have been prevented in some parts of the country by adverse weather conditions.
“The battle against wild oats isn’t new, but its importance has intensified with changes to autumn herbicide applications and climatic shifts,” she added. “A single wild oat plant per square metre can lead to a tonne per ha loss in cereal crop yields. “Cultivation techniques and crop rotation play a critical role in this strategy, so it’s recommended to consult with your agronomist to tailor these cultural controls to your farm," she said."For example, establishing crops with minimum soil disturbance, via direct drilling, can reduce germination of wild oats, and adapting your crop rotation to include non-cereal crops can also help through introducing alternative chemistry.
