Wild oat has a moderately persistent seedbank (4-5 years), but a small proportion may persist longer (< 1%), particularly in clay soils.

It's the time of year to be thinking about sampling wild oat for resistance testing! If you've got questions on resistance testing , make sure to check out our infographics here: https://t.co/Hc1bTjwe0C
Pro tip - use a sweep net for easy mature seed collection!
We've branched out (tillered 🤔?) into factsheets! Check out our first fact sheet on cultural weed control of wild oat found here: https://t.co/uGOgi04KvX Let us know if you find it useful!
How is the wild oat control looking out there this year? Successful? More resistance popping up? Would love to hear from farmers what you're seeing in your fields! #WestCdnAg

@MatthewEnright@ZippyJans Indeed, I’ve seen lodged areas as well. Possible that seed drop as the panicle matures makes the wild oat lighter so maybe slightly less prone to lodging than grain crops that retain their seed better?
@ZippyJans First guess, selection pressure over time has favoured survival of wild oats with good height and exceptional straw strength. There are possibly tame oat plant breeders that have a more thorough answer on the genetics.
With such broad-acre occurrence, wild oats are a weed almost every grower in SK must deal. Our latest fact sheet outlines agronomic information on managing wild oats in pulse crops. https://t.co/qgalwDaEpa #AgTwitter#westcdnag#PulseAgronomy
Here’s a new resource comparing two Western Canada scenarios to illustrate how farmers who manage resistance may have to trade off some short-term profits for higher longer profits.
