I suppose it depends on growth stage and harvest date!There is an anecdote doing the rounds of KWS investigating a case, only to find grower having applied a robust mix of fungicides, Ally Max, and CCC75%.....in June.

That's a vary convenient rumour for them, maybe we will be shown the spray rec's.There is an anecdote doing the rounds of KWS investigating a case, only to find grower having applied a robust mix of fungicides, Ally Max, and CCC75%.....in June.
Is Theodore the extase replacement?

Thought layman said it was in the weekly?
As an gof said the bushel weight is terrible.Thought layman said it was in the weekly?
That was the conclusion of discussion with Agronomist yesterday.Specific weight of Theodore is dire
I sometimes wonder if these low bushel weight ones are worth a go in my circumstances.That was the conclusion of discussion with Agronomist yesterday.
Another 5 minute wonder that brings v.little to the party.
Overall Extase has had good results achieving 103% of control for this year on treated plots and 120% of Control on untreated plots.
My farm saved seed was definitely less affected than the new bought in seed, very interesting.RL sites were lucky to escape the septoria meltdown we had here - 30-40% yield reduction being just about what we always expect from septoria nodorum.
edit:- nodorum infection in seed would also account for the so far unexplained experiences (see above) of many who've had good crops of Extase from farm saved seed and bad crops from bought in seed (whether produced in '19 or in '20) and others who've found the exact opposite.
Let's hope the small handful of complaints of which KWS are aware this time excludes all their commercial seed growers.My farm saved seed was definitely less affected than the new bought in seed, very interesting.

That’s interesting. My Extase seed was certified seed of 2019 production over yeared as we failed to drill any wheat for harvest 2020.
Finally started cutting wheat today and took off three fields of Exstase. I know its early days yet and we have more Exstase to cut along with our Graham. However, early indications are of disappointment!!!!
First three fields only averaging around 8.5 T/ha
On my farm the Extase did marginally better than the Graham. Rightly or wrongly i had already made the decision to go for Extase for 2022
I hate to ask this, but does this mean that your Graham was less than the Extase 8.5t average?
Still a lot better than our 7.8, of course.
