We are currently looking for farms to host 3x Septoria and 2x yellow rust winter wheat research trials. Ideally we are looking for different wheat varieties for each trial, and ideally located in Scotland. All of the trials are testing various bio-stimulants against the fungal diseases...
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
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...

Hi all,
I work for Sony in AgriTech and we're looking to host a focus group with arable farmers (winter wheat farmers) at our HQ in Basingstoke, Hampshire. The aim is to have a discussion around the issue of yellow rust and the challenge it presents currently. We will also demonstrate our...
According to Syngenta UK head of technical, David King, the combination of healthier grain prices but increased fertiliser costs over recent years has raised the financial stakes of growing crops – so any ‘mistakes’ that allow yield-robbing diseases to gain a foothold can pose a bigger crop...
Based on RL data and parental diversity information, use the variety blend tool to select three-way or four-way mixes for on-farm testing.
Varietal mixtures increase genetic diversity within a field and may help slow the spread of some diseases and reduce the risk of resistance breakdown. Based...
Well I guess it’s time to start another annual thread about how peoples crops are looking at the start of the year.
