Bio-fungicides at T0

[teslacoils]

How long and how many moves for your agronomist did you put up with that?

Too many. I was young. Now if my children ever decided to farm I would give two bits of advice. One would be to get an independent agronomist - ideally one who doesn't really like you, but likes money and growing ace crops, and also spring rolling.

Always makes me chuckle when I thumb through arable farmer magazine and the like and you have XXX from agrii/hutch/agrovista ect saying how crops need the latest bio stimulant PGA and a 20 way mix of fungicide for T0 and because it's growing like a triffid because of the bio stim it'll need a special PGR of adjust ect to help rooting and increase tillers and of course it'll work in low temperatures.

Then you have the Independent agros column, TO if there's disease some teb, chuck in some Ccc, if it's really angry up the rate and add modus, as your going through chuck some MN in aswell.

I'm not going to say what the second bit of advice is.

 

[teslacoils]

Tbh even if I'm only going through with some manganese......I'll probably put a bit of CCC in too.

 

[robbie]

Oh please do!!!

It begins "for god's sake, never buy a tractor from..." And I'll leave it there.

Oh that's boring I thought it was the one I was once told by a wise old boy, never stick ya **** where you wouldn't stick ya finger!!!!

But I cannot find any in any of my crops despite looking hard
so as usuall every one does not mean every crop

I have done a fair bit of field walking over the last 2 weeks and have not found any Yellow Rust which could become a problem as yet. (and I am mainly in a YRust county )

Surely that's just obvious?

Myself and colleagues finding the same. Still hasn't recovered from those frosts a few weeks ago, it seems.

I must also comment on the fact that early yellow rust rarely goes on to be a bad problem as you say the weather takes care of it, fungicides are not needed 9 out of 10 cases even in the EAST. (unless I need to sell you a fungicide!!) My opinion only !!

I looked at a few fields of Kerrin on Saturday and found a lot of dried up pustules of yellow rust(no treatment to date) so I will keep my powder dry until it is needed for when it wakes up!!, or to fit in with GS30/31.

Thats interesting. I had to clean my boots of orange yesterday afternoon after walking out of a field of LG Spotlight near Long Sutton. And in the last few days have submitted some 15 samples of yellow rust infected leaves from different fields to the UK virulence survey at NIAB Cambridge. Varieties where Yellow Rust seen. Gleam, Skyfall, Spotlight, Extase, Firefly.

I was inspecting around Sleaford and can only tell you what I found, Thank goodness I have no land around Long Sutton, also to add I was inspecting around Horncastle and Grainthorpe near Louth this afternoon and my boots were clean when I came out of several fields of Gleam, but I will be recing in 5-7 days when the crops reach GS30/31 as mentioned before.

I have also been with LG this morning (training) have you let them know Spotlight is that bad?

Hi, this was Kinetic this afternoon. The Spotlight yesterday was same. And today Elicit also same. All South Lincolnshire. No I haven't told LG. I assume they will know.

Good dose Tebuconazole next few days.
