Chemical Price Tracker

[Clive]

I've criticisized you before about the price threads and not contributing, but I assume now you are buying at FMP prices?
In the past you stated that you didn't think the price threads were a valuable use of your time, so it seems hypocritical that you now see it as a valuable use of everyone else's!

i'm buying some stuff via FMP where I can't buy cheeper elsewhere but Im also still buying plenty from other suppliers where their price is better

Remember FMP is not "my" distribution business, its just a platform where various distributers are selling their stock, I will buy where ever the price is best be that FMP or elsewhere, buying form FMP is of no advantage to me unless the prices are the best just the same as any other farmer that uses it, I find some prices on there excellent and others not so great, I have no influence in the prices, they are set by the vendors

I will post some prices I have been quoted from others later but Im off on holiday this week so a bit pushed for time, such threads are without useful, its just a question of finding time to sit down and pull out the detail of recent purchaces

And how do they compare pricewise? Mancozeb going to be approved for beet this year.

If the price of all CTL goes up to Bravo level then mancozeb will come into play.
Two things to note- don't be tempted to cut rates of mancozeb - it's already less efficacious than CTL.
The DF is just as effective as the flowable so if you are keen on cost cutting that's the way to go.
Septoria choices deserves a thread of its own. Quite happy for mods to split this off.

as long as it does the same job and has a MAPP number care not what name they give it

Some prices:
Fee paid
15% manganese £1/ltr
Galera £77.50/ltr
Stomp Aqua £66/10ltr

15% manganese paid 58p a litre for a 1000 lit. Yours must have been in little cans!

wow that's a massive discount for a IBC - near 100% less than the 15L can price !

 

[robbie]

My last ibc of mn in the autumn was 495

 

[bovrill]

I try not to be a grammar Nazi, but I am a bit anal about numbers
It's 50% less. 100% less would be a price of zero.
The 15l is 100% more than the IBC.

There, I feel better now

ok, how about near half the price in a IBC as it is in 15L cans

still to expensive for me though, we went back to powdered Mang last year and made big saving, liquid is nice to use but even bought well its an expensive luxury

Which powder did you price/use Clive? i tried pricing up and liquid @ £465/1000 couldnt be matched by powder. then theres the crappy dust and bags to
get rid of.

broadacre - was about 80p/kg last year IIRC but a 30% product, more expensive that powdered Mang sulphate which I agree is not nice to use, this stuff isn't dusty or hard to mix at all, sprayer driver says he prefers it to liquid.

Cheers will look into it.

Up to a point that's about how most end users view approvals. But legally speaking, Legara is a parallel not a generic.

I bet it came from China or India...

Like many other pesticides do? CTL, glyphosate to name a couple.

Biggest thing with parallels and generics is know who your buying off! some aren't always what they are said to be.
