I have no intention of a pre-T0 or a T0. Even the lush forward fields are looking very clean.

People must have too much time on their hands or too much sprayer capacity to be even contemplating going through pre-T0. What disease is there can wait and be dealt with on time and when the growth stage is right and not before.
The exceptions would be for weed control or where you have a crop that looks pished off and in need of manganese etc.

Quite easy to find this morning

Indeed but the reality is that those leaves are at the bottom and going to shrivel up and die anyway- what are you protecting?
Secondly, if you sprayed that today most of the fungicide is going to end up on the soil.
I drove past, stopped and took a pee in someone's gateway and that wheat crop was 100 times the size of the above.- I'm talking on it's way to being welly high, very typical this time of year for a crop in the south, drilled nicely in the autumn and with probably a lot of digestate behind it.

I am in a totally different part of the country to you.
Firstly I am NOT spraying it today.....it is not at GS30 but will be in next 10-14 days so will get a T0 then. Would you leave this untreated and wait until T1 (end of April/early May)? I'm certainly not for the sake of £4/ha worth of tebuconazole!! So what am I protecting? I am protecting my timings for future applications to allow T1 to hit a fully emerged leaf 3 and then allow T2 to hit the flag leaf.
Secondly this crop was drilled early November so is fairly backwards, again no rush to treat. However on same farm have wheat drilled mid October that whilst it is considerably taller (see pic) it is still not at GS30 when cutting open,
I can assure you yellow rust around here with high pressure is a 3 1/2 week gap between fungicides, thankfully it is relatively easy to control however the loss of epoxi won't help.

I've seen what chasing a spray miss does in a rust prone crop of Reflection. It didn't get cleaned up at T0 & we hardly had a crop left by harvest despite making sure we had rust cover in the next 3 fungicides, which you would do with a variety like that.
what are the varieties

I’ve recently started managing a farm that has a kerrin, gleam, crispin variety blend for all the wheat! Not convinced it has any longevity when it comes to rust...

Think I'll wang one on this week. Manganese, bit of zinc to get rid, 0.3 of canopy. Bit of CCC on the thick bits. Fungicide will be just teb on the gleam and Graham. Although might do a split field with some strob on to see if it does any difference.

Yep thinking the same end of the week once it warms up a bit, crops only just at GS30, rust hardly moved in 3 weeks, was planning teb + az but twill drop az now as gap to T1 won’t be that great. Mn, Cu. Zn going on wheat plus CCC (+trinexapac on lush crops following chicken poo) Hybrid barley wont be far behind with T1
This mornings frost will make crops feel a bit poorly!

I shall go through the wheat (Firefly and Elicit) next week when it warms up, CCC + Mn and a few fields with some blw herb
No rust so no fung here...

Using canopy this early? Interesting approach.

Old stock I want gone. And a block of wheat that didn't look like it was getting digestate, so I wanged the urea on ....then digestate turned up. So got lots of fert under it now and I want grain not straw. I quite like canopy. Spent the last hour shaking tubs of it.

Exactly the kind of situation I would have used it.
Would you equate 0.3L of canopy with 1L CCC and 0.1L of moddus?
