No pgrs? We did go through with pgr and some nutrition, left the fungicide out of it thoughBig opportunity to save money this year so far
No t0 and currently cold / low disease levels
Sprayer just gone through our wheat for the first time this season with broadway star and nothing else planned yet

I guess Bwaystar kind of acts like a pgr anywayNo - nothing other than bway star and N applied to wheat so far
Gate shut on OSR until harvest now - no fungicides, just N
Getting dry here in Essex, only 2mm in last three weeks IIRC.Half my wheat has had a T0 , 8-9 days ago, and the amount of YR a bit of cypro has scorched out of Kerrin is surprising (typically leaf 5 and older). Gravity, Elicit, etc much cleaner / clean.
Weather here more ajd Suffolk than Robbie Norfolk
thoughts? In Suffolk we have only had a couple mm rain in the last month.
Personally we have good disease resistance varieties. Can’t find any disease present.
Didn’t get a T0 either.
If it doesn’t rain do we need to put fungicides on?
How do you think you’ll react to the loss of CTL and reduced triazole armory in the SW?Try that low input in the south west & you'll lose half your yield. 4 days of septoria rain splash event in the last week & more predicted for mid week too. T0s going on now as leaf 4 is only just out. T1 will be CTL, a good dose of triazoles & I'll vary the amount of SDHI according to the weather. Doses tweaked according to what I see and varietal resistance.

Yes those OSR plants in the verges are waving at us and mocking us up and down the country!I'll choose more resistant varieties & watch the TAG trials results on folpet & mancozeb. I'm also interested in soil & plant health, though the hard bit is the little & often N doses that don't give the plant lush disease susceptible growth.
As an aside, the healthiest osr plants I've ever seen this year are in the verges of a main road where a fibre cable was installed last summer. No visible disease, flea beetle damage and no applied N other than what has been emitted from the passing vehicles...

Are we all trying too hard and the crops don’t like it?Best crop of wheat Ive got is a few volunteers in an osr field!

Many a true word said in jest and all that!A very valid question !
