Got some fungicide, growth reg and manganese to go on wheat and barley but keep getting -1 for a few hours early morning. I’m holding off at the moment, are people still spraying and do they have any bad scorching
I know we were always told not to mix CTL and PGRs with Atlantis etc and I have always followed this (don't need a PGR after anyway!) with the exception of trace elements but there's a windy week in prospect and late drilled ww has some YR so dare I add a splash of teb with the horus? Thanks

The weeks of spring are a critical period for farms in Ireland aiming to get cows back in calf quickly to ensure a compact-calving interval.
Teagasc research shows nationally only 58% of the dairy herd calves in the first six weeks of the calving season and a calving...
FarmDeals has a group buy on right now for IBC’s of 15%. Manganese Sulphate at £460 / 1000 L (46p/L)
This is a great price that i dont think anyone else can get near I’ve just ordered x4 but we need to get to 20 IBC’s before the 6th April to get the deal, only the 20 available at this price...
Hello, just drilled a new borehole and the water has a high magnesium, iron and manganese level. Cows not liking the bitter taste
Is there any way of filtering these minerals out?
Is UV treatment of water enough or do others use further water sanitation into Broilers.
How dose one ascertain whether there is a need for added sanitation solutions into water supply?
All tests I have done indicate no pseudonyms in the incoming water. (perhaps pseudonyms is wrong word) but is...
Modus was around as newish technology when I left the uk 20 years ago as a growth regulator. It’s just been released here in Manitoba, we grow around a1000 acres of spring wheat and our soils are such that we can push for higher yields with a good grocery package. Trouble is being spring wheat...
Evidence of infection in mid October drilled WB, don’t want secondary infection but guess given temperatures and low aphid forecast not worthwhile/not not good for environment. Conflicting advice from agronomists. Not treated in the autumn if that makes a difference. Anecdotally I find hybrids...
Been recommended the use of iodus (Laminarin active) at T0 for septoria protection based in south west so high disease pressure.
Are many others planning on using these bio-fungicides at T0 to replace CTL, with folpet not looking like a cost effective choice.
Dont see these bio-fungicides...
Know it's miles early. What's he collectives thoughts now CTL has passed on. Is Iodus (Laminarin?) any use on Septoria and Mildew (plenty of peatground) or is it a case of Folpet with fingers firmly crossed? In the West so Septoria is the main target.
How long after a manganese spray would be ok to roll?
Sprayed 3 days ago, crop is reacting positively to the spray, if that's the case is it ok to now roll while there's a window?
It's taken us a lot longer than expected but it was one of those things where the deeper we got into it the more potential we could see and the better we wanted to make it but TFF' Farm Compare is finally tested and live

Hello,
I have wheat at tillering stage and it got freeze injury. It has 3 tillers, sown october 5 2020 and got very extensive leaf necrosis.
So it is in stress now and would be ok for rolling or i have to wait.
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...

The timing of nutritional inputs to the maize crop is usually early in the season, either applied to the seedbed pre-drilling or early post-emergence up to the 4- 6 leaf stage.
Nitrogen (N), phosphate (P) & potash (K) and foliar applications of micronutrients are important at this early timing...
