Also on Lambda. With average field size of 10 acres 18m buffer zone is unrealistic.
Buffer zones becoming a real challenge, I put in 6m buffer strips against watercourses as a workable solution to Leraps but continual label changes proving to be a right royal pain.
Arthropod buffers and their wordings are where the real fun starts.

Taken the plunge and booked key spring chemical requirements. With cereal prices firmer and currency down I felt there could be some sharp increases come spring.
Time will tell whether it was a good or bad decision.
Most products at equivalent level to 2016 costs and some slightly cheaper.

One of the wisest decisions you will make this year!

I'm confused.

I have utterly no idea what herbicides or PGRs I intend to use, I have a rough idea of fungicide availability but I will tailor rates to suit disease pressure.

Will T0 happen? No idea. If March is minging wet none of it might be sprayed.

Will crops need a lot of 3C and Moddus? Can't tell you yet. Some might, others might not.

I am not sure there will be sharp price increases since the stuff had to be forecasted for about 2 months ago, meaning if there is a sharp price increase between now and time it is used, it is the company distributing it upping prices to suit themselves.

It's like fertiliser requirement. I can't tell what N I intend to put where. I look at the crop at the time and go from there.

If you order stuff now and end up not using it, do they take it back?

What were you doing in 2008 when glyphosate prices increased 5 fold in a month largely due to currency
If he's largely bought Aviator, Adexar and bravo then I can't see an agronomist in the country declaring has done the wrong thing.
