The pathogen causing yellow rust has been changing its virulence profiles faster than you can say ‘variety resistance’ of late. CPM was at the UKCVPS stakeholder event last month to find out the status quo between winter wheat varieties...
Got up this morning to find we d had some rain in the early hours and because it wasn't particularly sunny drying weather over the weekend didn't get out with the sprayer today so frustrating, really getting fed up now.
