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...
An interview with independent agronomist Ben Burrows of Crop Management.
ADAMA: With regards to barley, what are the key diseases growers should be wary of, and have you seen an increase in the incidence of ramularia?
Ben: In my opinion, the two most significant...
Arable growers warned not to ditch multi-site fungicides as chlorothalonil deadline looms
With the final use-up date for chlorothalonil rapidly approaching, arable growers in the UK will need to switch to folpet to maintain effective protection against cereal diseases such as septoria in wheat...
With resistance to single site fungicides making foliar diseases in wheat and barley increasingly difficult to control growers must use a multi-site fungicide such as folpet to provide effective protection and prolong the viability of azoles and SDHIs.
As the illustration below shows, the traditional spray programme for winter barley is for an optional T0 treatment as early as GS23 followed by a T1 spray using a robust application of broad spectrum fungicides at GS31. The subsequent T2 application is then made at GS39-49 with broad spectrum...
Just a reminder that the final use-by date is Wednesday 20 May 2020 (UK and EU), after which it will be illegal to spray CTL.
Make sure the stores are empty by this date.
What are people planning to use in its absence?

Growers are being warned not to ditch multi-site fungicides as the chlorothalonil deadline looms, according to the latest advice from Adama. Charlotte Cunningham reports. With the final use-up date for chlorothalonil rapidly approaching, arable growers in the UK...
We had big ramularia problems here last year in both some Winter Barley, and more commonly in spring barley.
The reason is mainly down to a longer time period between spray timings than was ideal. Maybe 4 weeks plus.
My thinking was if I keep my main two applications at the traditional T1 and...

Download PDF Filling the shoes left by chlorothalonil is a big ask, but new work has shown the multi-tasking adjuvant, Kantor, can give fungicide mixes containing folpet a performance boost. CPM investigates. The addition of Kantor can ensure fungicide coverage is optimised. By...
Have been thinking recently...surely it isn't always the case that the greatest gross margin occurs at greatest yeild?
Yet in the farming press, it seems that it is? We rarely see articles about lower input systems.
Sorry for the random and disjoin6 thread, just thought it might be an...
