I heard a snippet of news this morning on Radio 4 concerning something in todays Financial Times about the proposed trade agreement with the USA & a relaxation of standards to get the trade talks moving and in particular "agriculture ".Perhaps other forum members can put some meat on the bone on...

We've had our 4th ground frost during May. Question is, how will this affect septoria? Will it have been enough to kill the fungus? Added to that, it is also dry. They were only light ground frosts, but each leaf was white with frost.

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...

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...

Is anybody going to use Revystar at T2, would a low rate work as well as a good rate of the slightly older chemistry if you spend the same ££. My best wheat is Extase, so Revysol would be a bit OTT, but I have got a decent block of Crusoe which might benefit.

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...

Pathogen Ramularia collo-cygni Hosts The disease affects winter and spring barley. The fungus is able to infect wheat and oats but the incidence and importance of this is unknown. Symptoms Ramularia shows no visible symptoms at the seedling stage, so identification within seed and seedlings...

Unless I've missed it, surprised this discussion hasn't started. Just about to start our earliest wheat. Have mid October Extase and Zyatt to do. Was planning CTL + epoxi, but now next week is looking wetter, do I drop some Imtrex in to make it up to equivalent of 0.8l/ha of Adexar?

Finding yellow rust in our Gleam wheats this week anyone else with the same?

With reports of barley coming into ear early, no rain on the forecast and hot sun and a drying easterly pulling any remaining moisture out of the ground. I was wondering what everyone's doing about inputs. My barley has looked well all year so far. It went in well by mid october and got off to...

Written by Charlotte Cunningham 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...

So as a lot of us im very tired of spending money on chemicals and not seeing a return for it . i would like to just bang on a pre emergence and let nature take its course as often the margins dont justify and expenditure after that . can i buy chemicals wihout been bullied into forking out my...

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...

Looking to change the software package i use to record arable side of business. Currently using greenlight grower management. But @ £400/yr subscription it seems expensive for less than 600 acres combinable crops. I use it for fertiliser/seed plans for drillman, Me. Record FYM, lime...

So I am part of a smallish Family Farm all arable, I have an interest in another business which keeps me amused at times but what on earth do people do all winter? It’s driving me insane
