Never seen any sclerotinia. Long rotation. Not going down the line of "what if" insurance scare tactics for ag chem.

boscalid would be rolls royce

 

[Brisel]

Hmm. I have usually done 0.5 Proline for mid flowering sclerotinia prevention. I'm off to look up my TAG sclerotinia trials data to see if there's something better value without compromising efficacy.

Yes, in days gone by I would have used a Filan / Amistar mix at mid flower, following a Proline + teb mix at green bud.

But having read the old Morley reports on OSR; seeing results from a longer rotation + lower input regime I am happy to forget all about those days. If it looks like a shyte now, then you cant polish it. If it looks the business then it will do fine by itself. If the roots are decent I have yet to find any incidences of micronutrient deficiencies in spring. Cracked stems seem to happen from rapid spring growth come what may.

If I am feeling excitable, I might drop some strob in with the teb.

Always thought Teb didn't do sclerotinia. Would love to be wrong

[Brisel]

Syngenta's, but you pay a bigger price!

 

[jmc75]

Syngenta's, but you pay a bigger price!

Is it though?

 

[Brisel]

Is it though?

Why not? It has the Weatherstick adjuvant built in. Are all generics better than the branded? Circa 50 pence/litre premium for Bravo vs generic. Not much extra per ha.

 

[franklin]

And Syngenta points tooooooooo.

What brand or product name?

Theres 18% difference between the prices @stroller and @TomO paid, with us somewhere in the middle. Do both of the prices come from independent or serviced supply or even a buying group whos prices you never seem to be able to find out!!

Mine is agri but is supposed to be a walking fee of £3.50/ac, then as long as I put 75% (I think)of the chemical through them I get supply ish prices, it used to work but it is now starting to look like I pay a fee and pay serviced price. Anybody know any good independants in Somerset?

You also don't know whether the product being supplied is for your benefit or theirs. The beauty of an independent is that you know 100% that any chemical they recommend is because it's best for the crop and not because they have stocks in the warehouse that need shifting.

 

[PSQ]

not because they have stocks in the warehouse that need shifting.

Or a bonus scheme for selling the high margin 'special' chemicals
