Sprayed DFF or Pico on the crop?

Barley being barley, I'd go with chemical pick up. You could consider going with manganese and some magphos K but a lot of people are going to say leave it.

We've put manganese on everything.
Winter barley looks like it's tillering!

When did you sow it?
Crops are certainly growing rapidly in this mild, damp weather.

Mid September.
It's amazing how it's grown.
Didn't put any fertiliser down with it for first time

It's ok. It will be a lot stronger and come through the winter better.

The issue cereal crops will have now is that it is been very mild and crops are probably growing like a good un. So you have a lot of fresh and tender growth. Then you get a few cold nights or days of cold wind and they look sorry for themselves. The main thing is that they are putting down root mass to sustain themselves over winter, particularly for you guys in the North who get about 20 minutes of daylight in the winter.

Perfect. Think of the weed suppression from that.

And 120mm rain a month.
Yeah, I'm hoping mine will be well enough closed over, as I've missed the boat with the Pre-em.

Going to leave it and see..though agronomist wants to put an insecticide on to reduce BYDV infection . Not sure that's necessary
