At the time of T0 we were still in a wet spell.......
No fungicide 2021
- Thread starter Clive
- Start date
Wheat and barley have had fungicide here. There is disease in crops and we have some good looking crops this year full of potential. Im not going to try and save a tenner to lose a tonne.
if I was on dried out drought prone soils like Clive then I may be thinking differently but all to play for here.
I don’t want to use fungicides but there is a decent moic even on varieties like extase. We will probably spend about £30-60 on wheat fungs depending on the weather. Forecast looks pretty damp now actually.

The main problem as I see it is there isn't (epoxi aside) a good YR erradicant so once its established you are pretty buggered. So we are kind of being forced down a protectant route which kind of flys in the face of trying to reduce pesticide usage. Surely one day they will stop shooting themselves in the foot.
Tebuconazole is a good eradicant. Morpholines really knocked rust down quickly but they have gone.

Most of the wheats are so stressed out locally they look like they're 8 days into a dose of roundup.

Not here, as crops still only around GS30, more forwards heading towards GS31

Quite a few farmers around with "Folpet" on their records...

Epoxy or teb plus CCC on T0 low rate
We have had extremely dry springs before and the weather has turned, causing crops to race away. Yield potential is still there if it actually does rain sometime soon. If??

No fungicides here yet, glad i haven't sprayed yet as the frosts have damaged the leaves i would have sprayed..
What product, rate and timing?

Some of mine now receiving their third cheap application. There is no green leaf left in the spray misses but then we are the yellow rust capital of the country.

I know it can bite you in the arse but I'm of the mind set when it starts raining I'll start spending. Depending on the forecast we may get some rain Wednesday and then more unsettled next week or we may not.
As far as rust is concerned imo a decent azole/strobe soon after any rain will stop rust in its tracks.

I suppose my t0 fungicide was more force of habit. Very much a "going through anyway, what's £5 when corn is so dear?" view I'm afraid that time.
Last year found all Teb products far from the same. The suspension products we unfortunately used just did not have the oomph of the EC types. Bayer forumulated Folicur as an emulsion.. Good rate of Toledo never got on top of yellow rust-even applied early, whereas Tubosan fettled it completely. Never again!

good points
if possible SCs better from crop stress POV in times like now !
my attitude towards this spend it no spend is based on 2019 - exceptionally dry into May zero disease -mid June septoria rampant

Every morning I walk outside and let the chickens out. Without fail my shoes/boots are wet by the time I get back to the doorstep. It's been windy and warm here in the sun but very cold at night. I'm not sure how people can equate no rain with I don't need a fungicide spend in all honesty.
