Arable novice here.
What are the benefits of growing triticale in an arable rotation?
Is it a breakcrop with wheat?
How cheap is it to grow, and what yield would you expect from land that would normally do 3.5 tonne per acre wheat?
Presumably combined, and the straw is of use too?
Many thanks
We are seeing high levels of Septoria in our wheat, even on varieties such as Champion and Extase.Our agronomist says all crops the company are walking are the same and it seems to be throughout the country.Lets just hope we get some settled weather and are able to protect new leaves although...
Hi,
I'm looking for a winter wheat field in the Northants, Cambridgeshire, Bucks, Beds, Warwicks area to conduct a fungicide trial. I'm specifically interested in fields with one of the following varieties: Elation, Skyscraper, Barrel, Bassett, Gravity, or Firefly. (or any other variety with a...
Doesn’t look amazing as a first wheat following OSR. Dawsum and Champion do look amazing. As long as it yields it doesn’t matter. Is it one of those varieties that looks are deceptive?
Friend and reliably source who was hauling German grain from hull docks to mills said it had all the right paperwork and certificates but the mills rejected it when they sampled it as it was full of mice and rat sh!t. They returned it back to the docks ( several loads from different mills) it...
Due to the lack of spraying weather starting to get behind with it . Still have some Atlantis type products to put on winter wheat then all the wheat will need T0 very soon. Agronomist saying leave the herbicides very soon and move on to the T0 s . Weather is driving me crazy two nice days then...

Agronomy now facing an unfortunate combination of surface waterlogging and subsoil moisture deficiency, with current root death likely to restrict scarce moisture uptake later on.
Combining that with last autumn's much higher cost base and next harvest's lower...
