[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 7218259, member: 54866"] You have outlined the majority of the situations in which I have grown wheat or barley. Generally good P and K indices but also generally fertile areas with large historic manure applications. I have tried a myriad of PGR options, played with nitrogen rates, different varieties and in barley I can safely conclude that basically if a crop falls over or not in the months preceding harvest it is largely in the lap of the gods. If you get those freak summer rainstorms and a lot of wind it's a near bet the stuff will be bent over come cutting time. I should say that I have in the past given spring barley a go with moddus or chlormequat in the past, and then done terpal later (at the usual timing). Where I have done early PGRs it was always very early (I seem to remember the 3C label advice was by GS 14?? but may be totally wrong). Normally I would put it in with some manganese as by this time few weeds had really emerged. I have experimented with foliar applications of nutrients as well, some of which have included small amounts of potassium. I can't tell you if this really was a deciding factor as I just wasn't in the job long enough nor doing thousands of acres of spring barley to give a valued judgement. [/QUOTE]
