    Light leaf spot fungicides

    Grew a field of 4.25t/ha on extrovert last year with no autumn fungicide, the other field got some proline and yielded 3.75, yield not connected to the spray but did not pay for itself and Im sure of that, was out with Kerb last week at 3 degree soil temps, lots of frosts in Ireland lately, one...

    Should we voluntarily lose glyphosate as a pre harvest desicant in food crops

    Yes i think it should not be allowed pre harvest, especially if it means we can keep it as a stubble hygiene product, it's not ideal and I also farm in a place where we rarely cut wheat below 18% but we can live without, might mean using less strobs or sdhi chemistry later in season (at t3)...

    A significant result

    Size could be a limiting factor, as the extra level of management and attention to detail gets a bit harder the more ground there is to cover or different soil types, just a thought. But irrelevant to the opening post which I also think is very significant because it was not significant...

    Maize as a cover crop?

    Wow this is a long time ago, don't think it came to much, it grew but was drilled late and the field had other more dominating plants, that field had spring rape in 2011 and loads of volunteers came along with the drilled cover and dominated really, I think if you drilled in early Aug maize may...

    Magnesium at T2 on wheat

    Quit using Bittersaltz 2 years ago after years of use. Like above any tissue tests we have ever done put Mg as the most limiting factor. Adding Bittersaltz never seemed to make any difference to test so came to the conclusion its hard to get those crystals into the plant. Some 'experts'...

    Is strip till a bit of a theoretical idea on some soils due to stone?

I am liking the idea of less spend leading to less required spend but...

    Zero drilling peas with JD750A.?

    Question Clive. Pedders No 1 mix has Radish, and Peas in It. and you are following it with Peas and OSR. Are you not concerned with rotation not just for this crop but for the gap you technically need to leave before going back to this field with a Brassica or Legume cash crop? This is my...
