Wild-oats, of which there are two wild species, are one of the most competitive grass weeds (more than twice as severe as black-grass), with just one plant per square metre able to reduce cereal yields by as much as 1%.
The problem
As with any weed, prevention of seed production should always...
A UNIQUE, HIGH PERFORMING PROTHIOCONAZOLE
Soratel for superior disease control
A novel prothioconazole fungicide which uses a unique formulation to offer improved cereal and OSR disease control compared to the current market leader.
SORATEL features ‘AsorbitalTM’ formulation technology...
ADAS report highlights yield and margin benefits from folpet
A new ADAS report indicates that the inclusion of folpet into wheat fungicide programmes consistently provides yield and margin benefits by improving septoria control.
The report, which was commissioned by ADAMA and Syngenta...
The multi-site to rebalance disease control
With resistance to single site fungicides continuing to hamper disease control, a multi-site such as folpet must be included in arable spray programmes to add an extra layer of crop protection.
ARIZONA: the cost effective multi-site
New field trials...
With the T2 spray timing for wheat crops rapidly approaching thoughts turn to providing adequate protection to the top two leaves to keep them clean and disease free.
T2 fungicide treatments are the most significant in terms of protecting final yields as it is this spray timing which provides...
An interview with independent agronomist Ben Burrows of Crop Management.
ADAMA: With regards to barley, what are the key diseases growers should be wary of, and have you seen an increase in the incidence of ramularia?
Ben: In my opinion, the two most significant...
Arable growers warned not to ditch multi-site fungicides as chlorothalonil deadline looms
With the final use-up date for chlorothalonil rapidly approaching, arable growers in the UK will need to switch to folpet to maintain effective protection against cereal diseases such as septoria in wheat...
With resistance to single site fungicides making foliar diseases in wheat and barley increasingly difficult to control growers must use a multi-site fungicide such as folpet to provide effective protection and prolong the viability of azoles and SDHIs.
As the illustration below shows, the traditional spray programme for winter barley is for an optional T0 treatment as early as GS23 followed by a T1 spray using a robust application of broad spectrum fungicides at GS31. The subsequent T2 application is then made at GS39-49 with broad spectrum...
