Writing up my spray records from just applying some pre-ems, I looked back to mid 2000's. The amount of chemicals we use now compared to then and how we got by with simple fungicides makes it look like the industry has gone down the pan. A lot of actives have gone and those left we have been...

Yesterday not long...
