Adjuvants

[Davylad]

Anyone recommend an adjuvant/ wetter to use with T3 for fusarium on winter wheat? I have torpedo in stock but not sure if that is the correct wetter to use ? Thanks ?..

 

[Gong Farmer]

Why do you need an adjuvant? Not exactly a difficult target to hit.

 

[Davylad]

I agree but I spray at 100 Ltrs / ha and thought/ wondered would a super wetter be an addition to good coverage of the eat !

Oh blimey now you've been and done it, where's the popcorn ?

 

[Davylad]

Anyone experience with De sangosse “ designer” ?!

My wheat is in the late flowering stage. Far too late for fusarium control.

I'd use it elsewhere like a pre em herbicide.

Beware of the cut off growth stage.

don't you have an agronomist ?

 

[Davylad]

No !

Did you not apply a T3?

 

[Davylad]

T1 leaf 3 fully out and some of leaf two out
T2 Leaf 1 fully emerged.... 2 weeks ago.
Now T3 to be applied early next week.

 

[Brisel]

Did you not apply a T3?

Yes, last week. 3/4 rate teb to keep rust at bay + magnesium, that's all. Gate closed until harvest now.

Teb was the plan last week on half of it. End of flowering now. Any point applying now?
Wheats clean

You won't get fusarium control now. If 'end of flowering' is GS69 then after GS71 new infections of foliar diseases won't affect yield (certainly not any diseases teb will control).

Even brown rust? I know it's less likely now the weather has turned. Still a long time until harvest...

 

[Zippy768]

Is the risk of fusarium only at flowering? So once past flowering the risk is gone?

I'll give you Bill Clark's phone no.

Spores can only get into open florets. Once flowering starts to subside infection isn't possible. Other ear diseases can still infect though these are often just cosmetic compared to fusarium.

I'd better send more time reading the Agronomy Update emails in that case. No benefit in foliar disease coverage topping up?

So really the Fusarium risk window is quite small? Given that it has been dry as well
