The only way you can decide whether you are getting good service or not is to sit down and talk it over with your agronomist. If he is giving you the service you are paying for, he should be able to back it up with evidence and costings. If not, get another one who will provide the service you...

Grew it 20 years ago with a degree of success and want to try revisit it to replace OSR. Cannot grow another pulse crop in the rotation as we grow vining peas.

Which companies are offering Borage contracts for Spring 2024? Any to steer clear of ?

Have you sprayed it with any DFF for weed control ??

Well it would have been good of them to publish the information then so we could see the results !

It is pretty clear to me that some DCV diaphragms, O rings & possible pump diaphragms are made of a rubber material that is quickly corroded by the Univoq. Some types of rubber material are clearly not affected. Surely it should be up to Corteva to test this & see which types are susceptible...

I needed some 3 inch and 6 inch ones the other day 🤣

I used Apaveq last week and you can still smell it when you walk through the wheat. Have a few knackered diaphragms in my office and it smells like a nail parlour in there !!

Knackered all the DCV valves the other day eventually even after boom flush after every load. Must be a wetter issue & should have been rectified after last seasons shenanigans. £200 is not enough of a sop in my opinion even though the price made it a cheap option at T2 & it is sh!t hot on...

January 2023 on the container

Bateman self propelled. Done 300 acres today.

300 acres today. 8 diaphragms out of 48 so far. Probably more in the morning. But it does smell nice !!

Univoq is at it again !!

Make sure your signage on the door is correct too.

The rape in this picture looks much less affected. The first picture looks like it isn't branching due to CSFB damage. I'm speaking from personal experience of crops of rape that I've grown that look like that at start of stem extension & have been riddled with larvae.

AJD132. Don't want to worry you too much but have you cut any stems open to see if there is CSFB larvae. It looks like your rape is affected quite badly.

10mm last night and the water is finding it hard to drain away through the profile. If a weeks dry weather is forecast I feel I ought to run a triple K tine through it just below any pan that is stopping the water from draining away. Then I will re-assess & if I don't sow it with wheat will sow...

You are dead right. It was drilled on the last day before the weather broke at end of September & has been lying wet since then. It hasn't helped that it was potatoes in 2018. The power harrow is generally a last resort as most of our land is Rexius Twinned & then Vaaderstad drilled.

Ploughed, p harrowed & Vaaderstad drilled first time.
