Continuous Wheat

[colhonk]

Any continuous wheat growers out there? What breed are you finding is the best for 3rd + wheats?
Run out of options for rotations, osr kaput, linseed seems a no no especially up here on clay,spring crops Ha Ha Ha,this year has shown once again the feutility of them here.

I’ve got two fields that have been in wheat for 8/9 yrs. JB Diego did well , changed to Gleam this year, which looks ok considering the awful conditions it’s endured.

Gleam has impressed with it's ability to battle out of the ground in a crap year. It did 'OK' in comparison to everything else last year but this year I have higher hopes for it. First wheat slot though.

What a difference two years makes . Same field of continuous wheat in 2018, Diego being combined in July , compared to this years Gleam , looking a bit sorry for itself in first pic

Grew JB Diago for many years,is it still available?

I think so. I just got told it was breaking down to disease, but think it’s still doing ok

Often when a a Variety loses Popularity it gets cleaner due to the change in the strains of disease

It's still readily available as far as I'm aware.

All my wheat is diago again this year, that's 1st,2nd,3rd and continuous. With the weather being so dodgy I didnt bother buying any seed incase it didnt get sown and just kept digging it off the heap.
Diago has got a weakness to rust but no worse than some of the others still on the RL and I can keep it clean with cheap chemistry.
I normally us only one SDHI at t2.

Do you, or have you, used Latitude? I just ask as I'm tempted to try a field to see how it goes, as in the past few years my second or even third wheats have done pretty well on the average.

Not directly related but those with continuous wheats, what cultivation policy do you adopt? Got some year 3 wheat this year as I’ve got the seed and don’t know what to do plough, or can I get away with less cultivations?

Yes we use latitude

Yes we use latitude

That made me chuckle , read your post ,and what pops up at bottom of page ,
Advert For lattitude
Be also interested in which cultivation best for continuos wheat as going to a 4 th on two awkward fields ,
Thinking banging in some raddish and mustard ,,then ploughing in , before drill

I haven't used any dressings at all for 10 years or so. Chuck plenty of much on it plough it and drill mid oct.

zyatt wheat did well last year average 10 ha some on land that has been continuance cereals for 55 years, we are based in south essex a very dry area most years.

Good peoples,,keep the suggestions coming. Thinking, will have to go back to the plough as grass weed getting beyond a joke. Was wondering if this would make the takeall worse than mim till though.

Yes we use latitude

Why
We have high pH soils, but will happily grow 9-10.5 t/ha 2nd, 3rd and continuous milling wheat without a specialist take all seed dressing.

After looking at the research, I think that Latitude might be only necessary for the 2nd to say 4th years after which it would probably not give a worthwhile return as take-all decline sets in.

Yes, sorry. We did use it at yr 2/3, but not since
