Just knocking a few ideas about. Before epoxy was banned we used adexar 62.5 g/litre (6% w/w) epoxiconazole and 62.5 g/litre (6% w/w) fluxapyroxad. Would buying straight fluxapyroxad and adding .5 of teb do the same thing. Would work out at £22/ha as apposed to revistar at £51 or vimog plus...

Just attended NRoSO saying spraying/spreading equipment mounted on seed drill will require operator to hold PA certificate for special equipment even if one already holds PA4G/PA4S comments please
