Striking a balance between maximising crop potential and managing input costs will be the challenge for cereal growers approaching T2 fungicide sprays this month, experts say.
Much of the UK wheat crop has experienced turbulence during the growing season caused by difficult drilling conditions...

The Agricultural and Horticultural Development Board (AHDB) has confirmed that winter wheat crops are in a very poor state across England, Scotland and Wales.
Courtesy of its most recent crop update, the organisation pointed out that, nationally, the...
I'd be grateful for the collective view.
I've got some reasonably clean dawsum that hasn't seen a sprayer yet:
Obviously some lower leaf septoria as normal, but otherwise clean.
Agronomist reckons 1.1 of Ascra, plus mag man and ccc etc. I'd be interested to know what others are doing in...
No T0 on anything this year and it does seem to have done any harm (touches wood). Yes the odd patch of yellow rust (something we wouldn’t normally see at all) but de minimus areas and not anything to worry about. A one off season or a waste of time?
Thinking of going back to 24m from 36m. My boom height control system on my 36m is woeful and needs a big upgrade which is huge money so I’m thinking of going back to 24m which would also allow me to go back to granular fert instead of liquid (I’ve posted a thread on that in the cropping...
Sprayed T1 on my wheat and it has scorched like hell mainly older leaf’s .Overlaps look terrible
vimoy + Kestrel + 1ltr ccc + 0.15 moddus mix
any ideas?
So dis heartening and depressing when you see it 🤦🏻♂️
Unsurprisingly our winter wheat is struggling. It has poor root development and has being suffering from manganese deficiency which we don’t normally get. It’s had manganese and NPKS this spring all ready. T0 is approaching and was contemplating some phosphite in as well as PGR and trace...
Just knocking a few ideas about. Before epoxy was banned we used adexar 62.5 g/litre (6% w/w) epoxiconazole and 62.5 g/litre (6% w/w) fluxapyroxad. Would buying straight fluxapyroxad and adding .5 of teb do the same thing. Would work out at £22/ha as apposed to revistar at £51 or vimog plus...
There will be no one-size-fits-all approach to T1 and T2 fungicide applications in 2024. The seemingly never-ending rain has seen to that.
Instead, we expect to see wheat growers across the UK and Ireland to make their product and rate choices on a field-by-field basis depending on their...
What would Wolverine or Librax same chem one or the other with Elatus Era say 1 litre of each plus pgr, Clormaquat and some Trinaxapac Ethyl for aT1 application?

It might be one of those years where it’s sorely tempting to tighten the belt where input spend is concerned, but this could be a false economy. CPM explores the benefits of a well-timed T2.

Agronomist, Richard Owens, has confirmed that continuing wet conditions are hampering cereal growers form getting on with critically important field work.
“Some areas were hit that little bit harder with the weather than others. As a rule of thumb...
Anyone managed to grab bits? I grabbed some real light bits but any clay and it’s a wet shitty mess. Not sure when to throw the towel in and go for sfi
