Yes I agree, having applied 2 residuals it would be uneconomic to apply a third. Straight Horus will be fine if conditions permit. If you can`t get on in this mild spell there might be a further opportunity in the next few weeks.

Thank you for the best wishes and this question which I have also been asked on the telephone this week. To start with I certainly would not like to be responsible for upsetting Mrs Charisma by encouraging you to venture out on your sprayer on boxing day. However if you have a dry leaf...

My thanks to all for the kind words and best wishes which are very much appreciated. Now where did I leave my golf clubs ..............

Just a quick note to advise all, that after 36 years working for Bayer I will be retiring at the end of this year. I have thoroughly enjoyed working in such an interesting industry and what I am going to undoubtedly miss the most is the great people I have met and worked with over the years...

Many thanks, have done !

We do know that Deter will still be effective even down to sowing rates as low as 80 kg/ha and Deter will still give protection (at this sowing rate) from BYDV for 6 - 8 weeks after drilling.

Ugo79 - you beat me to it !

Thanks for the prompt Static, much appreciated. Yes `Grass and Grain` is correct in suggesting that Deter works better at higher seed rates. This is because there are more seeds per sq metre which means more product per sq m. Again Static is also correct that for wheat the minimum rec...

Yes, we understand a small number of farmers have experienced issues when drilling Redigo Deter and Deter treated seed, which has also been treated with the anti-dust product, Peridiam EC103. We have encouraged the use of products which control dust in seed treatments, as part of our...

On the subject of dry soil conditions and later drilling of OSR, It is about making the right variety choice for the drilling window you are aiming for and also waiting for the right drilling conditions. Given that the current weather conditions and soil moisture conditions look to be more...

Thanks Static, yes we are hoping to launch a new cereal residual herbicide in 2017. Full details will of course be released nearer the time of launch, definitely a case of `watch this space`

Unfortunately the re-registration of glufosinate in the UK is not a realistic proposition.

Thanks for the prompt Feldspar. As mentioned within this thread, indaziflam has approval in certain countries for non-crop uses and in orchards / vines / citrus / olives etc. It is not an active substance suitable for use in cereals. However we still continue to invest heavily in research...

I can only speak for our interests in the UK agrochemical market and I don`t think that in the near future there is any realistic prospect of glufosinate becoming a replacement for glyphosate.
