Written by janineadamson from CPM Magazine The fungal species that cause Phoma leaf spot and stem canker in oilseed rape are showing decreased sensitivity to some chemical controls, sparking concerns for growers in Western Europe, according to a new study. The diseases damage brassica crops...

Written by Richard Halleron from Agriland Azole fungicides are becoming less effective in the fight against phoma leaf spot and stem canker in crops of oilseed rape (OSR). This is the latest information emerging from Rothamsted Research in the UK which follows on from a series of...

Now Epoxi has joined CTL in the bin

With November 2021 OSR worth £410/t+bonuses what are peoples thoughts on fungicides? A lot of OSR round here is struggling with CSFB and sharp frosts every night.

I usually buy an IBC of Manganese every year and lash a bit on with the sprayer. I've done tissue tests in the past because I felt they were relatively dear and I wasn't gaining a lot. But I still use the manganese for the barley even though I'm not sure its any measurable difference. But given...

As part of Farm Compare, it has a basic lookup for crop protection products to allow you to lookup products and find equivalents. We get this data from the HSE. What I didn't realise is how fast this data changes. over the past 17 months we have been monitoring the list, there have been 346...

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...

This popped up on twitter, seed treatments not working and they are now spraying in Canada. The inevitable treadmill of reliance on chemicals.

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?
