Centurion Max, big problem!

[Case290]

Oh dear me any body else had a problem? Completely nailed, as good as a right off!

 

[farmerfred86]

OSR? I hear they state its not to be used with any fungicide tank mix?

 

[Gong Farmer]

And used by end October? Only just noticed it?

 

[MrNoo]

Had one field that was cooked up very badly, no fung with the mix but it is now Spring Wheat, ploughed all my OSR up.

Variety ?

 

[Neddy flanders]

only did 20 acs last yr with it. no issue til Feb then crop faded away and yielded poorly. Agronomist still recommended it this year. never again. better to use double kerb.

 

[John Slejpner]

Is it knocking the crop in such a way to let extra CSFB in?

 

[Bob lincs]

We had this problem with it first year we used it , went to put on the first dose of N and got a proper panick on . The crop was all twisted up and the buds were sort of gummed up and sticky ,it all looked like it was dying . After a few sleepless nights and a lot of head scratching we decided to carry as normal and see if it grew away from the problem which it did and went on to yield very well 1.8 t/ac iirc

I use it every year on all my osr, a little bit of leaf curling but no other problems. How do you know it’s C Max problem?

Have you got any pics ? When ours was affected it looked proper fecked but then got going again . That was over 200acre .

 

[Flat 10]

Doesn’t have such a negative effect in other crops??

 

[ollie989898]

It was applied by the end of October but only noticed now??

That isnt possible. It is generally fine but they changed the timings to stop people spraying anything that potentially coukd have buds on it.

Sprayer hygiene issue??

When we had a problem it was sprayed in Oct and looked fine until the buds started to form .

Do you think it could be varietal?

 

[Bob lincs]

To be honest I can’t remember of the top of my head what variety it was , I will look tomorrow. We still see some damage now but only in the sprayer overlaps . The year we had the big problem it was in a mix with fungicide but since then it’s only ever used on it’s own with a water conditioner .

 

[Shutesy]

As @willy says above how do you know its Centurion Max causing whatever the issue is? Few pictures would help.

In post#5 I asked variety. I almost put the word 'Elevation' but thought I would wait to see if you replied. I note from your field record the variety is Elevation. Interesting. I have seen four fields where the crop is Elevation and is just short and stunted - other varieties on same farm which received same treatments are growing away nicely.

Interesting. I have no answers by the way, other than patience.

In the first year of use the variety Charger was widely reported, though I saw the 'gumming' issue in a range of varieties.

We have never grown charger but elevation rings a bell . Will check in the morning.
