Broadway has always done a very good job here. This year it'll be my one hit wonder on a far bit of my wheat.
Stuff that had pdm+dff in the autumn will get su and or hormone to tidy up if needed and topik.

No, it's marvellous stuff. How could you even contemplate not using it.

Oh and by the way if you use it you'll also need a good rate of boogie, plenty of alertrin eve, some kestrel and to tidy up your weeds avacet( one half of Broadway star but the same price)

Just curious but how much is quark?? Last time it was sent here it was £80 5lt, it got sent straight back by the way.

It's annoying because on the one hand he's walked the fields and decided that as the pre-ems have worked well this year that we can do without palio in some fields. But then he's toeing the company line and pushing their high margin snake oil.

I bet its like all these potions, if you do a tramline trial you can just about prove that it covers its cost, if you squint a bit.

No, it's not as good. And more are xpensive. I don't use it now.

You get forced down that route with wild oats in barley though

The cynic in my is thinking that he's making up for the lack of herbicide sales by peddling some snake oil.
It always amazes me how convinced by these products they are, or is it the bonus clouding there judgement.

What rate of foxtrot do you use?

Yes, it's all about the bonus.

But it has to be early and based on winter germination

It's £168 on Farm Marketplace - https://www.marketplace.farm/inputs/pesticides/fungicides/aragon-5l-prothioconazole/

Might be a slight delivery charge to add on to you, but max £2.5 per item.

See my previous reply, not ideal for late germinating oats.

@static I find the spring barley rate or just below to fit can size ample on winter barley.

That's 250g though, so not directly comparable with proline, but will still be less per gramme.

My price was for a 250 product. What’s proline at?

I only have historic figure in my head. Was £225, but alternatives may have put pressure on that.

I’m sure the Decoy 250EC is genuine 250gm Proline from BASF so not generic. Iv always preferred to use Proline so will use Decoy instead this year. It’s cheaper per gram of active

robbie · Mar 19, 2021

Proline is 275gms litre

Proline must be one of the most controlled chemical prices there is.
I get a number of quotes and over past few years never more than just a couple of £ between top and bottom prices. There must be some serious market price fixing going on and collusion in the sales chain

Even now generics available price has remained constant.
