Been Quoted £480, but decided to save my money and go 1.5 folpet and 0.5 teb for T1.


Ps. That’s up £20 to what I was quoted last year and didn’t use it then. Decided to try the Myresa + Syrex and was happy with the results. Also £5 an acre cheaper.
Genuine query…. I’m intrigued to know what rates of Myresa + Syrex were you comparing against the Revvystar to get a £5/acre difference?

Or answer the question , make your mind up.
Not Agrii, but why the witch hunt?
I have spent many hours working out a.i loadings of different fungicide mixes and am interested to know how some growers get Myresa+Syrex at a lower cost than Revvystar.

Difficult to compare a product with 2 a.i’s with a box offer delivering 3 a.i’s and still be cheaper, unless the Myresa+Syrex rates are out of kilter with the Revvystar. I take my hat off to those who have unearthed such a deal.

Only way I can and make the figures stack up is by manipulating the rate of Myresa, thus reducing the Revysol component, which is supposedly doing the donkey work on Septoria.

Apologies that was including 0.35 of pyraclostrobin 🤦🏻‍♂️ . Revvysyar on its own was actually a lot closer in comparison.
However from what Revvystar users last year are commenting, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be!
I used the Myresa+Syrex last year and all my wheat varieties where spotless, I’ll be using it again at T2

You tell me ?
Difficult to answer with any certainty as I don’t walk your crops. Would need a bit more info to make an over-the-internet recommendation on crops I haven’t seen. In addition I dont know your varieties, spraying capacity or appetite to risk.

One would assume that if you are using Myresa @ 1.0 l/ha at T1 you have varieties with low septoria resistance (or early drilled resistant varieties) and/or have experienced regular localised rainfall or conditions conducive to septoria and need curative activity to protect leaf 3 and/or the expected margin over input cost meets your personal criteria.

Had an email today to say ascra was suffering supply issues and it might affect plans to use it on barley BUT siltra was available.

The cynic in me thinks this might be yet another ploy to force our hands to spend more to use siltra, they make a product legal to use but restrict it's supply so we can't, the same think happened last year with aviator but the more expensive "new" products were all available to use instead.🤬
Makes you wonder whose idea it is to revoke the older chemistry. Once it gets too cheap, can the trade suddenly find some safety problems to get it banned?

So you don't know . and you're not even far away

Nice.

In that instance if Septoria was my main disease threat and I really thought 97 gms/ha of mefentrifluconazole was required (+ I had managed to buy MyResa+Syrex really well) I would match the Fluxapyroxad rate of Revvystar @ 1.0 l/ha…. which would mean Syrex @ 0.6 (0.633 l/ha if your being anal).

Syrex @ 0.6 will deliver 90gms/ha of pyraclostrobin for ?£/ha which depending which source of info you believe will improve Septoria control (BASF are convinced it improves Septoria control).
