Don't know, other than fert I haven't had anything to do with there serviced agro side for several years now, I haven't even had a delivery via a buying group from them for a couple of years but when I was one of there victims CTL was still about and they were pushing folpet and folpet plus something else hard so I imagine they still are.
What do you top it up with for rust? Teb?

Same as what you would top Aviator up with so yep teb or strobe

What like prothio and bixafenYou are behind the curve @robbie you really ought to consider Boogie Xpro Plus, it’s like Boogie but it’s “plus” the bits that actually do something

Yep, you know if only Bayer would up the the prothio and bixafen and drop the spiroxamine they’d have a winner winner chicken dinner on their handsWhat like prothio and bixafen

You'll buy Aviator for not a lot more....and that's 75g and 160g as opposed to 50 and 100!

Boogie Xpro Plus has an extra 10% Prothio and Bix over Boogie Xpro which, frankly is soo last year, that makes it a bargain compared to Aviator costing 10% more, but with approx 25% and 30 odd % more of the decent actives

If that's correct and I don't dispute it's not, all joking aside that wouldn't be a terrible product for me to use in my situation with mildew lerking in the bottom. Aviator plus a mildewicideBoogie Xpro Plus has an extra 10% Prothio and Bix over Boogie Xpro which, frankly is soo last year, that makes it a bargain compared to Aviator costing 10% more, but with approx 25% and 40 odd % more of the decent actives
would be pretty competitive.

It’s watered down Aviator plus an old mildewicide, higher doses of Prothio are pretty useful on mildew which is why I used to use it for T1 on ClaireIf that's correct and I don't dispute it's not, all joking aside that wouldn't be a terrible product for me to use in my situation with mildew lerking in the bottom. Aviator plus a mildewicide
I’m not sure it would be any better than Aviator ??

True after I posted I looked at it harder and the sparixomine would only really replace the extra 50 gms/Lt you'd get in the aviator for mildew control.

I was recommended Skyway by my agronomist....I decided to use Aviator at the same rate, then add in the extra teb. I haven’t priced it all out but I’m sure I’ll have significant better protection for probably not a significant amount more money. I don’t mind paying a bit more on that basis.

Ascra is now expected to fill the gap and thus be short also I'm now hearing from the buying group.

Probably !!
My group were confident in what they’d reserved
If I wanted some I would order ASAP as L2’s are emerging and the weather is catchy for the next week so I think i know where I’ll be going for T2

No T0s applied here as rust wasn't an issue, 3/4 of skyfall fields and cordiale fields will get a T1 of azoxystar and tubosan of 0.5l both. No disease present in our two variety mix fields so far

My plan this year was just to spray on the ear (about 90% now). At the weekend 2 weeks back they changed the forecast to a nice Monday then two weeks non stop rain, pretty much what happened. So I rushed around that Monday and sprayed at a late flag leaf timing. But, my wife had a temporary bee hive on one of the fields, so to respect her wishes I gave that a very wide berth, thinking, “this patch will end up rubbish”
So, two weeks on of non stop rain, no disease on the unsprayed bit.
Admittedly I still grow soisant which is robust ...

Could this be helped from the result of having sprayed the fields around it, and thus reducing the disease pressure across the whole farm as a result. A bit like they say with the Covid vaccination logic of 70% vaccinated will protect the remaining 30% through the herd effect. (Specificially not using the term "herd immunity")
