[QUOTE="Hindsight, post: 7834480, member: 3169"] You make up some flags and leave untreated strips for comparison - and learn from observation. That may sound daft but it is the way I suggest. Yesterday I did exactly that on a contract managed farm where wheat is sown mid October. Not spraying any other farms but that particular one its actually the farmer wants to treat (not the agronomist) as he has seen several neighbours out spraying and other agronomists advising. So I put up marker flags in a few fields with 100 metres by tramline width and asked that these are not treated and then gave him my cap (metaphorical cap I hasten to add!) and said I would eat it next May if BYDV shows up in the untreated areas.
