Epoxiconazole failed the endocrine disruptor test - so was bound to be banned. You slated CRD in your initial post. If anything CRD allowed it use for a couple of years more than some other European countries which are members of the EU. Anyway its gone now.

1978 Paper explaining classification of suitability based on Soil Series. This still applies in my opinion. Soil Series is a better determinant than an individual farmers personal definition of 'Heavy' 'Light' 'Medium'. From following thread and discussions on here over the years and...

Yep. Is a discussion topic. I too thought it was me but seems everyone. Adding new products particularly painful.

Lost approval EU countries some time before approval lost in UK.

Brilliant eradicant and protectant for Yellow and Brown Rust. And compatible with mesosulfuron and pryroxulam herbicides. So sadly, sadly missed by me. Not everything is Septoria.

We need the fruit pickers and bum wipers. Can’t let these young ‘uns escape nor enjoy the freedoms to move within Europe. C’mon get back on message. I’m alright Jack.

I would love to be in the bowels of Nobel House at the focus group meetings and with the external 'agricultural' consultants advising the Defra 'team' most of who posibly studied English Lit at Cambridge or Interntional Relations at Bath and find themselves in the Defra policy lead team on their...

No, not back to school Huno. SFI is about encouraging and rewarding behavioral change. So a three year payment for No Tillage to you seems to short a period. But to a policy maker that three years may be long enough to sow and germinate that behavioral change that is then adopted. Thus the...

Autumn rolling of wheat continued in Autumn 2021 into November.

I would say defining No Till for purposes of farmer and inspector understanding is straightforward! No Tillage!! But that is not what farmers will want nor telling Defra. So Janet's team if tasked to be farmer friendly will be wrapping themselves up in knots trying to write a 'loosely' worded...

Depending on the option your farmer has 12 months for establishment.
