The future use options for fungicides in cereal crops was discussed in detail at a workshop held in Co. Down earlier this week.
The event was hosted by the College of Agriculture, Food and Rural Enterprise (CAFRE)

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.
Yet everybody else seems to start chucking it on now and their crops look strong and green where as mine look crap...
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...
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...
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...
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
Who is doing one and what are you using .
Forecast after Wednesday is looking dry and warmer, so wondering if there’s much to be gained, other than piece of mind .
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.

April is the month when winter barley crops develop the fastest and the demand for plant nutrition is at its highest.
Depending on the total amount of nitrogen (N) to be used, growers should make sure that they apply the last split before Growth Stage...
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...

It’s been a long time since I’ve grown spring barley, what are people using for fungicides and growth regs this year? Crop looks well with good potential
