Ramularia prevention, mid timing fungicide boosts.

We had big ramularia problems here last year in both some Winter Barley, and more commonly in spring barley.

The reason is mainly down to a longer time period between spray timings than was ideal. Maybe 4 weeks plus.

My thinking was if I keep my main two applications at the traditional T1 and 2, I could have a small cheap something up my sleeve to nip across with just to keep disease down slightly until T2.

My question is two fold.
1. Is this sensible?
2. What kind of product would you look to for this purpose?
