Has anyone else heard aviator is sold out!!!!!!

The sceptic in me thinks they might be playing silly buggers and holding stocks back and telling us porkies to either stimulant trade or force us to buy the dearer stuff. Either way on the whole very little fungicide has been applied up to now and what has been applied has been mainly cheaper stuff so one could think the suppliers are getting wind up and are trying to manipulate the market.....but I'm sure they're never do that🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

i very much doubt fungicide is short ….. stores full of unsold product last year

.....or have people panicked now that weather has turned warm & wet and they haven’t got good protection on?? However, I’m as skeptical as you.

Buying group advised similar last week a few days after I had ordered mine. I didn’t order that much I promise!!

I've had deliveries from 3 different suppliers over the last week or so since the rain and they're all saying it's still very quiet.
I think it's yet another occasion where the supply chain is trying to shaft the good old farmer....b@stards

Here's a theory. The trade thought Aviator was dead, so didn't bother getting much in? Or Bayer decided to turn the taps off because it's a low margin product in a fairly saturated wheat fungicide market?

How long has it been approved in osr? It was always a good buy - priced to make the SDHI nearly free when compared to Proline prices.

Probably highly likely. Prefer to shift some high margin specialist product.

I think Aviator fits well this year with the April showers weather we're having in May.

Aviator sold out here too
It seems T1 and a lot of OSR has majored on Aviator, 0.8ltr/ha still has a good slug of prothio and it’s priced well
Not too much concern though as Ascra is priced very similar ??

Squeezed one tank in on Friday afternoon and another in this afternoon before the evening showers arrived. It's a case of grabbing opportunities as and when at the moment. Hopefully get the rest done before the end of the week.
