The amino acid biostims have their champions who quote use in the dry mediterranean areas etc-likewise short of water. That is the reasoning used in the spiel behind the story for using them-so they cannot-though have-say that it was 'too dry' can they?!
Agree about potash status & drought conditions. Turgor pressure & water status of plant. Lot of foliar K work from Indian subcontinent, and Boron deficiency-both exacerbated by dry conditions. Pre-formulated foliar K is pricey-hence solids far better value, but SOP is a long way from the best salt to use as it has relatively low solubility compared to others. Problem is, getting hold of them. The Foliar K liquid boys want to keep farmers at bay, because these are the products they sell you expensive water with!

Trialled this last year seven tramlines in a 20 hectares field 0.5 ha plots 2 litres ha T0, T1, T2, T3, T1+2, T0+1+2+3+4. In this field T0 & T1 yielded best full program was disappointing might have been a poor tramline or the weather haven't bought any this year.

Thanks, we have several trials this year with no fungicides at all. Last year in one trial the BS gave no benefit but were tank mixed with fungicides as per label recs. This is supposed to negate any BS effects.
Poison to everybody and everything they come in contact with, the soil life, the plant , the animals that eat the plants and the humans that eat the animals/ plants. I suspect you don't agree, many don't and that's fine, each to their own. Farming using toxic agri chemicals don't feature in my plans going forward, they have no place in the production of food IMO, the world survived for how many years? before this sh!t was invented and it will have to function without it in future IMO

Without crop protection products there will be a lot more hungry bellies in the world .
..........And a lot more demand for what we have to sell
We have to quit this noble idea we are here to feed the word and focus on feeding our families first !
Imo tech that has increased food production had been of no real benefit to farmers, it just created a race to the bottom that seems to have had a few unforeseen environmental consequences !
Seems we have spent the last 50 yrs farming ourselves into a black grass infected chemical dependant corner !

Enough "food" is produced each year to feed 12b people, half of it is wasted. Hungry bellies is caused by corruption, not lack of food

Back to crop rotation, traditional husbandry and mixed farming.
Good .
Good .
I really question why a bunch a people who judging by other threads are concerned how they will ever afford a new tractor again are so worried about feeding the world
Leave that to Bob Geldoff
We should just focus on our own businesses and making the best margins over input costs that we can

Be happy with what you have got too many want too much.
As said look after ourselves and family first.

Leave that to foreign aid budgets Clive - which foreign nations use to buy arms and weapons from us !
Take India, they get a big wedge of foreign aid each year - yet they have a space program ! May be we will depend on them for GPS and communications in years to come after pissing off the EU .

Back on thread.
I believe that there is progress in the EU so that a dossier of trials evidence will be required in the future to approve biostimulants - coming around 2021-2022 .
Also ''fertiliser" products that have fungicidal effects will have to be approved as fungicides eventually to - that's if there are any fungicides left by then.

This is an entirely off-topic question for which I apologise, but how do you manage your tramlines on running land? I can't see any shunts or loops on that field, and yet the the headland tramline looks far from square.
Sorry, 12 billion
If needed tractor drives through headland tramline until last auto section goes off - then short reverse and turn onto headland tramline
36m gives you quite a bit of turning space / time though
No loops with a trailed, far to much run down
I’m surprised the 710’s don’t look worse than they do. We will be staying on them all season
