    When to start putting N on wheat?

    I was always told that February nitrogen flattens crops. RB209 recommends nothing until the start of stem extension, and not before early April, unless it has low tiller numbers.

    Univoq or Revystar

    Who’s going to use Univoq this year? The only real substitute is Revystar but at £27 / ha more expensive it’s a difficult decision. We used Univoq for half a day last year and had to replace all of our DCV diaphragms, over winter we have found several damaged tank hoses and replaced the pump...

    Have higher fertiliser costs increased the importance of an effective T1 fungicide strategy?

    According to Syngenta UK head of technical, David King, the combination of healthier grain prices but increased fertiliser costs over recent years has raised the financial stakes of growing crops – so any ‘mistakes’ that allow yield-robbing diseases to gain a foothold can pose a bigger crop...

    I’ve got bugs

    Wasn’t a happy day yesterday As title, bugs have made an appearance in the wheat shed, bit frustrating as nothing in the pitfall traps, nothing found at 1st mill but rejected for ergot, got to the cleaners and they found them so it made the round trip and is now back in the shed. This is a...

    Crusoe

    Grown this variety of WW in the past and really liked it, but was told no longer available by Frontier a few years ago. I've now discovered its still out there being grown. So, anyone growing it in the DD situation and hows it compare with Skyfall on disease nowadays ? Thanks

    Anyone having issues with drip stop valve rubbers failing when spraying Corteva’s Univoq, Iconiq or similar? Seems to a bit of an issue among sprayer drivers having widespread DSV failure on FB.

    Revystar Experience

    We have used Revystar on Spring Barley at "paint brush" for ramularia and it is disappointing. We used Adexar type (old stock) as a T2 on wheat and I thought we had too much septoria. My independent agronomist brought some plants from a neighbour who had used Revystar (same variety) and it was...

    T3

    Anyone warrant doing a T3 this year? Growing skyfall and is a bit of yellow rust around so may do a cheapo one involving Tebuconazole

    T2
