After a perfect year for wild oats in western Oklahoma
Round Up Ready wheat would find a place if it could be sold.
Depending on custom cutter and bigger combines have scattered
wild oats every where and normal cultural practices in wheat
won't control them.

But you have Puma available to deal with wild oats in the growing
crop, haven't you?

I checked with 3 chemical dealers
in southwest Oklahoma. The sandy soil and high pH clays make it very
dangerous to use Puma at rates to kill wild oats. They won't accept

the
liability of spraying it.

Pity you didn't ask on which evidence they base their concerns.

There is almost always some damage to the wheat and it is unpredictable
how bad the damage will be depending on soil type and weather after the
application.

So many words, and yet you couldn't spare any to present a shed of
evidence, that "the sandy soil and high pH clays make it very
dangerous to use Puma at rates to kill wild oats." I think you are
fibbing, you don't have evidence to support that claim.


I think I will trust Gordon's actual experience. What evidence do you have
to support yourself or are you just putting up strawmen, which is, saddly
all you seem to do lately?
