Just knocking a few ideas about. Before epoxy was banned we used adexar 62.5 g/litre (6% w/w) epoxiconazole and 62.5 g/litre (6% w/w) fluxapyroxad. Would buying straight fluxapyroxad and adding .5 of teb do the same thing. Would work out at £22/ha as apposed to revistar at £51 or vimog plus...

After years of decline in planted area, something is shaking up Group 3 and that something is Bamford – a new soft wheat variety with yields contending with the top performers plus numerous end market opportunities. CPM takes a deep dive...
It’s been very noticeable this year that later drilled wheat is much better than earlier drilled wheat for spring die off even though conditions were appalling all round.
We always thought it was manganese deficiency that caused the problems but I think that’s secondary. Two identical very light...
As a distraction to the soggy non existent spring drilling programme, I'm looking ahead to the autumn and want to reduce my spring cropping area, currently about 1/3 of the farm thanks to blackgrass. Winter barley for feed isn't really any good for blackgrass control in terms of herbicide...
Going off the back of the recent news from Defra and reading the current thread about it it would be interesting to see exactly how much land people where actually considering taking out of production.
Thers a lot complaining about not being able to enter more than 25% into the 6 options that...
Whats everyone elses position. The wheats looking really hungry now and its so wet wondering whether just go and make a mess or be patient?! Must be loosing yield surely.
I'm a little late to the party with SFI, so playing catch up! NUM3 legume fallow if drilled this March/April 2024 will have to stay in the ground until Auguest 2025 to meet its aims?
I had previously been overlooking SAM2 mutlispecies cover. Is it really as simple as we drill autumn cereal crop as usual, give it a light sprinkle of some other species and claim it as Sam2? Seems to have the potentially to be the most reward for least cost/effort option of all SFI...

According to the Potash Development Association (PDA), potassium affects both the yield and quality of grain, as well as the general health and vigour of the plant.
Cereal crops need at least as much, if not more, potassium than any other nutrient...
We plant cover crops in autumn for grazing store lambs on normally stubble turnips/forage rape. This year we planted grass seeds. Grass was planted mid August came extremely well currently have lambs on if we where to plough up end of February for spring barley (so roughly 6 months) would it be...

For a second year running, Limagrain’s winter wheat LG Beowulf and winter barley LG Caravelle, are the highest yielding varieties to join the AHDB Recommended List.
LG Armada also takes lead position as the highest yielding oilseed rape variety on the...
I gave up second wheats a good few years ago due to grassweed control, lack of!, thought I'd give it another go as the farm is cleaner and now running a disc direct drill, flooding aside, it looks terrible, what have people learnt with DD second wheat, as I'm now hearing advice along the lines...
Hi folks, looking for some advice. Due to a mix up in the co-op the wrong seed ended up being put into the contractors seed drill. We were meant to be putting in Winter Wheat after Winter Oilseed Rape, instead we got some Winter Barley seed.
Obviously this makes a total mess of our rotation...
