This had Tempo in a mix on 28th March . It’s looking ok, and I too, don’t fancy scraping it off the floor.

Looks fantastic and very pleased with itself quite thick, too. Dunno what your weather or local climate are like but I would be watching that for mildew in the bottom of there as it can fester in the muggy microclimate under the crop. T1 with a glug of cloister in it.(y)

That crop would suggest to me your land has a good jolt of background fertility that didn't necessarily come out of a bag.
 
Been sat on the sprayer today. Wheat is looking still very decent. Scorched with liquid fert a few weeks ago but getting over it now. Rain now back on the forecast. Definitely putting the rest of the CCC in. Not sure whether to put another 0.1l Moddus in. We put a big first dose on and have not been held back by water-logging that we normally get on heavy land. Some fields are over my knees now. Did our two most lush fields today as a bit of risk management.

Also, Broadway Star (Palio) has had a big PGR effect (fair bit more than Pacifica) it seems so definitely not putting any more Moddus on this. Not sure whether it's me either, but my impression is there is more active septoria in Siskin compared to Zyatt, and more septoria in crops that have had Palio too.

We use a lot of pig muck, but that crop is after potatoes . Gravity

As my wheat was drilled in three stages from November to January, trying to use the standard timings T0 , T1 means spraying the field at 3 different times. Tillers aren't all at T1 at the same time either. Also weather windows don't always oblige to ensure hitting T1. I can be delayed with wind and rain and other commitments for a week sometimes.

With this in mind it makes me wonder whether I would be better going with 1/3 dose every week as the weather allows and kind of combining and merging T0 and T1 using same overall amount of product but in more splits. I have a small acreage and big sprayer so capacity isn't a problem.

Only problem I foresee is there could be "number of applications" limit on some actives but I would have thought little and often as a protectant would be better than allowing disease to get in.

More septoria in crops that have had more stress, makes sense. I'm coming to the conclusion that we are causing stress every time we go into the field with a sprayer even when it doesn't show, an example of the more we do, the more we need to do. In future, sprayer will be left in the shed when spring weather is harsh

Just had a walk through my wheats a bit tipped and some septoria on lower leaves very little rust but a awful lot of mildew. Variety is in Diego View attachment 790900View attachment 790902

What have you applied to it? Epoxiconazole can rush to the leaf tips. I ditched Diego when it became too dirty. The fungicide spend was getting too much when the seed was no cheaper so I swapped to Graham.

Only amistar opti, mn and bitter salts at t0.

It went yellow when we had the horrible cold easterly wind and frosts. I sh!t a brick when I saw it, I think it must be the mn and frost scorch, but everyone's Diego has done the same locally so i blame it on Diego scruffyness syndrome.

Mildew with mild conditions and thicker lusher crops than normal is often a recipe for it. I bet under that crop it is damp with moisture and humid as heck, a breeding ground for it. That is where cloister has a place.

Correct. At 10 o'clock this morning it was wringing wet, my boots were soaked through by the time I finished.

It's quite low lying ground either side of a stream so it always has mildew in the crops down there. Normally I use a mildewicide at t0 but there wasn't any about then so I held off.

T1 Is going to be 0.75 epoxi, 0.3 Corbel, 1lt ctl. I may even chuck in some Ccc!!!!!

Leaf three is nearly out far enough.
I recon ideally t1 would be next weekend but I've got the chem so I'm going to get it on before the promised rain Thursday onwards.

i have one particular variety that has scored real bad, some of another variety in the same field is as green as grass, so not sure whats caused it.

My Elicit looks awful with tipped leaves, but Illustrious in next door field looks great from the gateway, but more yellowing on lower leaves when you walk in it. Neither has had EPZ.
