[QUOTE="Agrobi, post: 6381312, member: 76550"] Yea just looks like aphid damage from early in the crops life, looks worse than it is I think and that doesn’t even look that bad. We have had it bad here last 2-3 springs, always worse on later drilling’s. Aphids are v difficult to effectively control in spring crops unless you want to spray them every 3-4days. No insecticide will move into new growth and the way spring Barley especially grows you could have a new and unprotected leaf out the day after you spray.with the levels of beneficial insects on the ground this year I let them do the work, they haven’t got them all but they were never going to. They don’t look any worse than sprayed crops and the insects are still alive... Don’t think you’ll see any big yield penalties from those photos. [/QUOTE]
