S barley

[TheEarlOfMoray]

Only uses it when filling tank with water. Once I've stopped it, recirculates water from tank. Probably wouldn't do any harm putting bittersalz in first. Will try that.

I fire a bag in between each chemical. Seems to work well. Never had it sit in bottom of the tank

Looks good but not too thick. No more than a sniff if you feel you must. I wish I had some potash in the shed to apply to mine in the hope it strengthens it. I've seen trials responses to fresh potash even with good soil indices and that's not trials done by sellers of fertiliser either.

Surely you would need to apply it to the seedbed.

Barley here looks ok considering, maybe a touch thinner than I'd like. I wouldn't use pgr at this time of the year and especially not this year with crops under drought stress.

Yes. I should have elaborated better. A decent quantity in the seedbed but you can get a bit in using foliar K

My agronomist walked it today, so will be interesting to hear his recommendation later .

Is he still on the fence?

No he sent his rec which included using the medal max I have in stock , so a rate of .26/ha. After discussion today , we’ve decided to just put the fungicide and herbicides on now, and hang fire on the medax for a while .
It is only a quarter rate , but I’d rather go twice than set the crop back

Exactly the same rate as my agronomist advised.

I'm going to put it on tomorrow.

Could do with the wind dropping here . Have the T2 on wheat to do and the barley, but with it being so dry I’m not worried atm

We are due rain on Friday so going to crack on and get it on.

Think wind and rain is due for all on Friday. Unsure it’ll be much rain....but enough to encourage disease.

Don't get called a optimist very often!

I normally expect the worst and it normally happens.

At least that saves disappointment.
