Idiots guide to Liquid Fert

[DieselRob]

I need to get the last dose of liquid on the OSR, snow last week, frost over the weekend and now windy up to 30mph. Do I correctly assume this presents a huge scorch risk if I went on at the moment? Will the wind be causing the leaves to de-wax? Looking like windy all week then chance of frost again towards the weekend.

I'm only very much a novice/idiot myself, but would only be tempted if I could get it on when it's proper raining, not just drizzling. I have Caryx to get on mine, then it needs a week before last N. Caryx might end up getting dropped but TBH it could do with it as very uneven

It was forecast to rain today but that disappeared.

Done mine, yes some scorch but it's producing fresh green growth so fast not worried at all.

How long after an application of liquid can you go through with a spray on wheat? Is it best to leave it a couple of days?

Liquid fert strips all the wax off the leaves, 7 days for me, unless I can get it on while it's raining.partcularly if using growth regulators or Broadway star etc.

Is it the same time period if done the other way around?

Supposed to be.

Is it the same time period if done the other way around?

No. In practice it is far less damaging to fertilize first then apply agrochemicals. If you leave it a couple of days at this time of year the dew is enough to wash most of the fert off the leaves. Any rain and immediate treatment with ag Chemical is OK. That was my experience anyway.

I left it 3 days for fungicide/pgr last week, no signs of any damage. Got some herbicide still to go on next week as well so between 7/10 days after fert
