We do the same, putting 0.4l kestrel and 1l CTL for first fungicide application.We split it. Normally a 10 days to 2 weeks after weed spray.
No point blasting fungicide at ground where weeds are.Fudge that, why would you split them and run through the crop twice??
The barley will go through its growth stages so fast its pointless.
Save 8 quid an acre whatever next.

Grow it cheap and simple you say, and then there you are criticizing me for having the option of omitting the t1 and saving 8 quid an acre!You do the herbicide and fungicide just as the crop covers in. The fungicide will stay in the crop 3 weeks after which the crop will have magically jumped up and be near enough at awns emerging anyway.
No point messing about with spring barley, grow it cheap and simple.

In a previous post you say why bother saving 8 quid well even on a modest 50 acres that £400 which may not be much to the likes of you but I'll take that saving any day of the week.
Prosaro 0.5 Ltd, corbel 0.169 , Frontier.You could give it some protection.for a lot less than that
What’s being recommended ? And by who ?
Worthwhile or not depends on weather between now and harvest so a crystal ball question really
Nothing is definite.It's definitely worth it. Every acre I grow is pushed to the max and if something out of a can is needed I'll be the first to reach for it and ladle it on. I'm hoping for 3 ton acre or very close to it so I'm definitely NOT one of those People who say it's not worth it. I just can't see the point in putting something in because I'm going through when there is no disease, it's just a waste. my barley will get a t2 and probably a very good one to keep it going as long as possible.
I guess your attitude to"going through so chuck it in" stems from when you were a serviced agro and could have a draw on all the little "chuck it in's".
Very true. What I should have said is at the moment it's definitely worth it. A dry June and it'll be a different story and I'll be even more glad i haven't wasted a fungicide.Nothing is definite.
