For sheep, constant management of fluke is necessary because there is often no break in the grazing cycle. So, with no product persistent against fluke, a sheep treated one day can pick up infection the next if they are grazing infected pasture. In autumn, immature fluke in sheep cause damage...

Written by Agriland Team 2020 was a relatively low-pressure disease year for cereal crops, although rain in June did bring a late surge to disease levels in crops and Septoria in winter wheat. In a recent webinar, run by BASF, researchers stated that even in these low-pressure years, varieties...

So this year wasn't bad and didn't really show up loss of CTL. Going forward are there any EAMUs for existing products on the horizon or maybe possibly new products? AFAIK I know current approved triazoles and strobs have limited effects on Choc spot. My hunch (and a quick google) is that...

In a year that keeps on giving, I'm now finding quite a lot of Take-all in first wheats, predominantly on the secondary tillers but some areas where all the plants are affected. This is March drilled Belepi after V. Peas. Anyone else got similar or am I the 'chosen one'!

New to this forum and am a smallholder not a farmer so I hope you won't mind me asking this. Can anyone tell me how harmful it could have been to breathe in fungicide spray straight after it was sprayed? Walked in it for a minute or so after the sprayer went straight past me at close quarters...

The HGCA has completely copped out on septoria nodurum for years past - currently every variety on their list is given a provisional (lack of information) [6], except Bennington [7] and Extase [-]. Hopefully, they'll now be quick enough on their feet to see that this year's extreme weather...

spray contracting for another farmer and inherited his spray store. There is some cans in there that he bought last year and will probably be enough to do next year and maybe some the year after. what are people’s thoughts on how long the chemistry will last. And how best to store them, would...

Got some cans of tebuconazole to use up, much reduced wheat area, so was thinking of using on Spring Barley. I know its good on rusts, but does it do much on Rhynco and net blotch, they are both label diseases for moderate control. At present the crop unsurprisingly is very clean with just Ctl...

Whats everyone's opinion on spraying fungicides to wheat crops at the minute? Our agronomist is wanting us to apply some but with 15mm of rain since March is there really going to be much disease about? All of the flag leafs at the minute look clean, apart from a touch of yellow rust in a field...

Trials confirm Sartorial offers outstanding establishment Despite challenging conditions, hard feed wheat Sartorial continues to outperform the competition when it comes to establishment rates and early vigour. Launched to the market last year by Agrovista, Sartorial shows consistent rapid...

Written by Agriland Team Speaking to farmers over the last week, they have said that they have come across a couple of flock health issues, particularly with their lambs. The main issues that seem to be arising are that both ewes and lambs are showing signs of lameness, as well as a couple of...

Unusually cold this week. Another frost this morning, so at least 3 this week now. Have T2 on wheat to do, T1 on SB and some beans to tidy up. All mixes containing a herbicide. Anybody not applying with such low night temps?

Written by Agriland Team Worm control is vital if you are aiming to achieve good lamb growth rates and a profitable sheep enterprise. Heavy worm burden in lambs will lead to a reduction in performance and delay development. “Ultimately parasites cost growth and these worm infections affect...

I heard a snippet of news this morning on Radio 4 concerning something in todays Financial Times about the proposed trade agreement with the USA & a relaxation of standards to get the trade talks moving and in particular "agriculture ".Perhaps other forum members can put some meat on the bone on...

With the T2 spray timing for wheat crops rapidly approaching thoughts turn to providing adequate protection to the top two leaves to keep them clean and disease free. T2 fungicide treatments are the most significant in terms of protecting final yields as it is this spray timing which provides...

last week, round abouts Wednesday or so i done something, not 100% sure what it was but i think it might of been when i was trying to push a pipe into a fitting on a trough. i came home that evening and went to bed that night with no pain at all. 2am and i woke up with a decent enough pain...

Some of the stuff i've sown is, some is ok, some is terrible! It looks like i've sown it too thin, but I've not, it is desperate for a good downpour, I was thinking while driving from them earlier, there's not been drop of proper rain since they went in the ground. How's yours looking?

Whats the opinion on wheat crops? 80% or 60% of normal
