Fungicide Thoughts for the season ahead

[SilliamWhale]

Everyones stocks of CTL must surely have dwindled now. Plenty of forward growth on crops. What people starting to think about fungicide decisions going forward?

For me:

OSR - nothing probably. But its not overly lush

Winter Barley - Probably go for a 3 spray program where I usual go for two. Will be Siltra based.

Winter Wheat - I don't think I'll do a T0, have to live without it. I'm being encouraged to think that all first generation sdhi and proline are now useless on septoria but I'm not so sure I can face double revystar/ univoq at T1 and T2. I may have to though...no idea what its priced at.

Given the economics and how much has been spent on fertiliser, surely it's a year to go big. If wheat is selling at £220 for Jan next year, the ROI of most fungicides will be even bigger than usual. To turn the thought on its head, do you want to do anything that will lessen the investment that you've already mate in the fertiliser?

not spending alot as
a) no fert going on so less disease.
b) no rain in May and a 30degree fortnight in June will limit yield, irrespective of any inputs.

No fert?!??

Sulphur at a good lick looks a better bet than folpet from the talks I have been to lately.

sorry, less fert. 80kg/haN

How much is a 'good lick'?

I believe he’s talking about liquid elemental S

How much is a 'good lick'?

Maximum 10 l/ha but I think something like 3 was recommended could go a bit higher. Takes out any spores on leaf layers but nothing translocated

I suggest we will need to be sitting down when fungicide bills arrive.... my agronomist cant even get a price list at present!

I was put off sulphur last year when I heard someone talk about spending the rest of the day cleaning out a solidified mass when he'd loaded up the first tank of the day with elemental S.
