We use to do one but in recent years two.Seen the benefits too.
Mine got 2 last year because early rust crept in. This year it’s just the one for mildew and rust. The gate is shut on everything now bar hand rogueing and any pre harvest desiccation required if really necessary.
Yes most were very clean, the winters oats were a huge crop wouldnt fancy putting them through a 12 mtr header
Same here on fungicides. And considering you’re far further west of us maybe I could have been more brutal on dragging back. Every quid saved is a holiday with the family.literally.

Shhh! Dont tell my wife that. Every family holiday is a pound an acre spent. And I don't know what ages me more - family holiday or UK weather.
Fungicides only
I’ve spent about another £25/ha on herbicides and about £10 on trace elements this year
Wheat never looked so good
Is that an untreated bit? Or have you cocked up your timings?
Very droll
Just a quick Google Images pic for @yellow belly

no t0 only really needed in a high yellow rust variety if you do your job properly (time it right) at t1 timeing and pick a descent variety
with the loss of ctl next year we do all need to take more notice of septoria resistance
imho 6 is the minimum for resistance and higher if in a wetter rainier warm area
its no good complaining about chem costs then growing a variety that is under 5 on the list

I wish we didn’t have blackgrass. £25 on herbicides is a pipe dream for us!

Just for interest, I had an elevator bottom come off for 5yrds last year. The field is fallow this year this is untreated skyfall in that field
You going to try a field next year??

Nope and hopefully I don’t loose an elevator bottom this year
Just thought it was an interesting pic for comparison

At the tag warwick trial site today and it is quite interesting how fast the disease has moved in on the plots. The worrying thing is is how fast its coming in on some plots that have had full RL treatments.
