Septoria,2012 again ?

[texelburger]

We are seeing high levels of Septoria in our wheat, even on varieties such as Champion and Extase.Our agronomist says all crops the company are walking are the same and it seems to be throughout the country.Lets just hope we get some settled weather and are able to protect new leaves although our chemical armoury isn't as strong as in 2012.
With all the inflation in agri costs I would dread to experience 2012 yields again.

here 2012 rain started 4 april and continued till july
2023 started in march with snow on 12 march

hopefully will dry up in may june

2012 was a double wamy of low sunlight in june and disease

from past experience of the wettest 25 % of years
when may is wet full rates of fungicide pays
but in hereford most years are wet and rosemound trials are used by the trade to demonstrate higher rates of fungicide should be used every year

here in the east that does not pay in the driest 50% of years

if it keeps raining every other day till the end of may here i am prepared to use full rates of the best products

Septoria always appears over winter into spring, then gets left behind as (/if) the weather dries up and the plant 'grows away' from it, leaving it in the base. Tritici has a very long incubation period so can easily be left behind though any conditions that slow crop development can compromise this.
Extase has often had it in the base but has been one of the best for growing away from it.

Yeah extase romping away, not quite so the skyfall.hopefully will next week in 20° as fair bit septoria in base

Agressive PGR programmes reducing node spacing seems to increase the humidity transferring from base of canopy to upper ? Something to consider ? Septoria v flat crops

too early to say tho really

my biggest issue is trying to keep it alive and not dropping tillars at the moment as its that cold and wet and yellow
