You obviously have a point, generally I would agree but for me it isn't worth the faff.

I agree. Each to their own. I have more profitable things to do with my time than spending hours saving £350/year but it is right to question old habits.

We're not using huge quantities and our agronomist (independent) isn't keen on generics but I hear what you are saying. What sort of cost would you say for Proline + Teb?
Alternative suggestions welcome
Proline + Tebuconazole make your own and save a packet
Your price for Prosaro = £148.50 for 125:125 g a.i. prothio + Tebucon
My price Folicur 275 per 5L = £226.95 for 275g a.i
Tebucur per 5L = £39.50 per 5 L for 250g a.i
So 5L Prosaro equivalent to 0.454 can Proline + 0.5 can Teburcur = £103.16 + 19.75 = £122.91
Thats a saving of £25.59 for every can of Prosaro you buy. You got a real good independent agronomist

Thanks Static & An Gof, very helpful indeed and a conversation shall be had...
I am presuming neither of you have concerns regarding the formulation or efficiency of generics? Do you use them for all actives wherever possible?

I have no worries about generics but be aware that you won't be getting some of the adjuvants that help the product e.g. Hallmark has microcapsules for slower release & a longer period of coverage, Bravo contains the WeatherStik that enables good coverage and rainfastness.
As long as the main distributors sell them I've yet to have a problem with any. I would be wary of anything not sold via the main distributors, by word of mouth or by post. Rotam's direct delivery system is the exception - their generics are fine.

I have no problem with recognised generics; @Brisel has explained it very well.
Does your agronomist really have a problem with generics? Interesting that in your list of products he chose to quote you for both Bravo and generic CTL.
PS
Generic CTL was £39 before Xmas
Thank you for posting those. I was wondering when suppliers were going to start giving prices.
Chord is a distributor product I think. Like Tracker but with differing levels of the same ingredients. Which one please? PM if you'd rather not name & shame in public.

Chord has more boscolid in than tracker I think.
I think the quotes are from Hutch
