Thanks, there is a direct relationship between evening alcohol consumption and water consumption during a BASIS training day the following day - it's easy to spot!

Myself (Chris Tolley) and Simon Goodger have recently set up a new company called Agronomy Training Ltd as mentioned in this thread. We are running the BASIS Certificate in Crop Protection course starting later this year and the training will be based at the Riseholme campus of the University...

That would depend on how stressed the crop is and what was in each tank mix, but I'd say the longer the better but minimum 5-7 days if possible.

What variety are your oats? I'm seeing the symptoms you describe across all of the oats I'm walking, but more pronounced on Mascani, less so on Eagle. I think we are seeing a combination of factors which are leading to the stress, most notably diurnal temperature fluctuations, successive...

Thought I'd bump this thread back up. There are still a couple of places available on the FQA online training day, so if you are interested please get in touch. This is likely to be the last open event that I hold for this course! Chris

Less than £22/acre. It was completely the growers decision after an honest and frank discussion!

The photos on my original post were taken today - these photos were taken on 12/11/20 - one week after treatment

One of my client's winter wheat fields following spring barley with heavy pre-harvest losses. The outside 3m was cultivated but not sown as this area will extend a stewardship margin. Shows the level of volunteers. It was a carpet of barley volunteers following sowing before the wheat...

Not many pots grown in this area. We've been growing a very small area behind the grain store for several years for own use. NPK as per what's available, otherwise grown organic. If we start to see blight come in we will remove the tops and harvest a few weeks later once skins have set. Usually...

Is it really 13 years since we did the BASIS course? ! [emoji47]. Are there many potatoes grown in your area? That will have an impact on blight risk!

Frost?
