Anyone growing Grouse this year ? how's it looking ? given our long term lack of insecticide use this BYDV (and OBM I think ?). resistant trait makes a lot of sense to mitigate against damage in future years ?

I would just like to thank those who told me last autumn that BYDV was a figment of my imagination and that a insecticide is a waste of time .
Only Problem is that I'm looking now at major harm to my bank balance . BYDV is absolutely rife in my unsprayed wheat but mainly controlled in my...
Anyone noticed how much sticky stuff they producing this year?
Never seen so much. Actually pavement is sticky under them and gravel on tracks sticks to tires.
Means LOTS of aphids.
So more bugs on the crops?
Seen to remember somewhere it was noted a couple of years ago that the number of flies and bugs adorning windscreens and vehicle fronts had dramatically decreased, something I’d noticed too. Yesterday on a trip to SW Wales and back again I can report “they are back”. My car was covered in them...
Hi All,
For those who use an agronomist to help with work load who’s got a rec for T3?
Its very dry and wheat of our sensible varieties here very clean (Siskin /Extase etc)
Is teb/prochloraz the general go to in this rusty weather?Will it be needed?
For those that prescribe for themselves...
Our winter beans look really good at a distance but when you look closely there’s loads of flowers just finishing but very few pods in fact I’ve never seen so few pods!
Could it be the cold or lack of sun and bees or a bit of everything?
T2 went onto Graham about a week ago , crop was lovely and green, it's slowly turning yellow after 4 days.
Is anybody else seeing it?
1 l verydor + epsomicrotop.
Extase has also tipped a bit.
I've got some insitor to have T2 still but I'm a bit cautious.
