Anyone surprised at amount of lodging in wheat ?
Dawsum going over despite robust pgr program .
Only 6 days here without rain in July .. Maybe that’s the answer… !
As we increasingly become more “park keeper” thanks to SFI and CSS and have more cover crops and margins than in the past we have options that need management involving cutting
Having never owned a topper or mower bigger than a garden ride on I find myself confused by what i should buy...
What have I done wrong? Sprayed 1l/ha of oskar/foxtrot at 200l/ha volume in winter wheat at gs 37 on Monday 8th of May.The wild oats have shrugged it off since and growing away. I can only assume I should have sprayed at 1.2l/ha. Didn't want to go earlier as I wanted to get any spring wild oats...
As per title, we've to use BASIS/FACTS qualified person if we want to use IPM plan and Nutrient management Plan for SFI.
Anyone on here offering this service?
Any approximations of fees for doing these?

As above would you put pacifica on or not ? Have some Horus in stock to but don’t think it would do much.
crop looks a bit stressed with a few wild oats and other weeds that will need taking out anyway
