New formulation Moddus / Alatrin Evo at £45 vs generic old formulation for about £20.

At 0.1 litres/ha New formulation that's £4.50/ha. Versus 0.125l/ha old formulation, or £2.50/ha.

Some people say Moddus can be harsh and rob yield. The new formulation is supposed to be kinder to the crop. I don't like paying nearly twice the price, but would I get my £2/ha extra cost back in extra yield?

See other thread about this - seems they are same active and concentration so can’t see where you are going to see any better MOIC

Just priced up a 200l barrel of Manganese and was told nobody supplies them anymore so it's either cans or IBC. Health and safety/awkward logistics killed that I think.

Tried to look on @Farm Marketplace for a price but it appears to be down.

Try an IBC, you won't look back. I used to buy in 200L drums as i only used 3 or 4 per year. an IBC was cheaper and so much easier to handle. Its not a huge amount of cash tied up in stock and it doesn't go off. Go for it, you won't look back.

That's my plan. Almost done me a favour in some ways - barrels were always a pain to handle but there wasn't much saving in IBC over barrel so didn't feel worth justifying ordering a whole IBC up. Now I've got no choice about it there's no way I'd go back to cans, and I'm sure an IBC will be much more user friendly, quicker, safer, easier.
 
My recent quote only purchases:

Palio £138
Glyphosate generic £46.50
Kantor £116
CTL (sinconil) £56/ 10lt
Aviator £166
Pincer £255
Nirvana £124
Axial 5lt £427
CCC £20.53
Fandango £133 5 lt

I feel the Palio is a bit steep, as is the Pincer. Not sure on the Axial. Need to find an alternative to Kantor as it feels like a rip off. Others a probably not radically far off but everything is going up!!

From what I have seen @SilliamWhale

Palio is around £118, I have heard as low as £116. So yes - very steep.
Glyphosate is around £44 now
CTL is around £54 and dropping
Pincer is a very, very good price - It's a tiny bit cheaper on FM
CCC - Pletrum is £16.46 on FM
Fandango price you have is pretty good
Axial price you have isn't bad, maybe a bit over, but not much
I've not priced for Kantor or Nirvana so can't help on those.

I think the only one I can whinge about is Palio.
