Short term pain for long term gain: controlling wild radish in wheat locations
Aims

To compare the efficacy of broadleaf selective herbicides to control radish in wheat.

Key messages

Flight, Velocity, Jaguar and the Agritone plus Affinity mix were the herbicides that provided the most effective wild radish control in wheat. A two-spray strategy is required to control later germinations of wild radish. Short-term pain for long-term gain: including new herbicides (with different modes of action) into the cereal phase will delay the onset of resistance.
