Barley T0?

[suffeks]

just wondering if anyone does it and what you apply in the fall? something for yellow dwarf virus and gray snow mold are my main concerns. hyvido variety.

T0 is in the spring. I do it.

Autumn we may use something for bydv but never see snow mould / snow rot.

Insecticides do yellow dwarf but there hasn't been any response (in loads of trials) to autumn fungicide treatment. Saw bad snow mould and snow rot in winter of 1980/81. Not since.

Probably for BYVD control now deter seed dressing is gone is there isn't really anything persistent we can use. You can (perhaps) take out a wave of aphids but if the weather is right for them another wave can soon come right back in and replace them. Our worst breakdown to BYVD was, we think from a mild February migration of Aphids, a time when our ground isn't fit to travel on even if we wanted to. Snow mould is not considered a problem in the UK, I wouldn't even be able to identify it.

Autumn treatments of dubious value besides BYDV treatment, maybe a whack of manganese or phosphate if it isnt happy looking.

T0 depends on season and if im going in at the time. Ie if going with a whack for cleavers farmer could consider some fungicide to tide crop over in case of a delayed T1 but barley grows so fast Id be hesitant myself.

Applying fungicides to barley in the autumn is unusual but not unheard of. Was your seed treated? There is a connection to microdochium nivale which is seed borne.
