How long before it is up for renewal or withdrawal?

Not sure, but most people seem confident this one will make it through re-registration.

I believe prothioconazole is off patent on 30th April. Great birthday present for me. Won't be too long before generics become available, hopefully bringing the price down.

Let’s hope Life Scientific have in in their sights

Iirc they had 11 products coming to market

However if supplied the same way their Atlantis clone has been will it actually offer us a saving or just more margin for distribution !

Indeed. Having tried Niantic this time I wouldn’t rush to try it again.

I’d have Hatra instead-liquid product, and the correct can sizes to match Biopower. Savings aren’t quite enough on sub 1000ac farms to make it worthwhile imo.

Anyone have any librax prices yet ?

 

[Wobblebox]

A bit of variation out there:

 

[Pigless]

I post with fear as probably paying to much in the depths of Cornwall! supply only.

Ascra 168 5l
Adexar 322 10l
Alto Elite 43 5l
Whorl 176 5l
Canopy 78 5l
Siltra 239 5l
Presite sx 49 for 225gms

 

[Wobblebox]

Could i make my own Adexar?

My best Adexar price: £320

(Adexar: 62.5g Fluxapyroxad, 62.5g Epoxy)

Imtrex (62.5 g Flux): £225
Rapier (125g Epoxy): £72.50

So 1 l Imtrex + 0.5 l Rapier = £261.25

.... or will the formulation be different?

Formulation is tricky with epoxiconazole. There's a reason the branded mixes sell at a premium.

Well, I'm using Imtrex and Epic out of two cans and it's going on fine. Both BASF.

Those are good for your area of the UK based on the prices I have seen. Cornwall, while lovely, is certainly a trek!

I don't think you will get anywhere near the forumulation! The labs at life scientific to replicate this where quite impressive, I'm not sure you mixing shed on farm has the same sort of kit!

 

[fieldfarmer]

But mixing would be done at point of use , each item put individually into the main tank through induction bowl, no mixing shed needed.

That is mixing.....not formulation.

 

[teslacoils]

As my be, but that would suggest that special Bayer formulation justifies 20 percent price hike over two BASF straights to make the same dose of active......

You should come on a factory tour if you get a chance. It was really interesting and @Clive andf I have done a few now. The actives won't do much if they can;t be absorbed correctly into the plant. Its the forumulation that controls a lot of this. I'm no expert at all, but when you see the kit they are using it makes you realise where the extra 20% comes from. Whether that translates to 20% on farm it you are mixing (not forumulating) yourself, who knows. You make you choice and take your chances.
