Today the serviced agronomist we use recommended a dose on both the wheat and barley for different diseases etc. £16 an acre in the wheat and £11 in the barley. Seemed very strong to me when it’s looking very very clean and no issues so far.

I know serviced agronomy is easy to shoot at but it has a place. Agronomists will know which of their clients will be slow at applying their recs and Adjust has a more flexible timing than ordinary 3C chlormequat.
Smaller farms take nearly as much time as larger ones to walk and administer and few opt for separating crop walking from supply of chems, being happy for the agronomist to make the recommendations and order the materials.
Most of today’s independent agronomists did their training with distributors who actively recruit young trainees. There is a place for serviced agronomy and I can see why many choose the easy option without really knowing which costs them more.
I’ll bet most growers would rather have clean crops that stay standing than quibble about every last penny spent. No doubt folk like @Agrobi may comment...
Likewise. No fungicide on the S. Barley, Peas and the Oats and no wheat T3. So there are some good ones about. I am though probably going to change and move to an independent. As I have seen some price comparisons and there is quite a saving to be had, even with the independents fee.My serviced agronomist recommended doing nothing on the spring barley for now.... they aren’t all trying to fleece you

@juke @Clive the recommendation sent through.
Yes when I emailed to ask how much an acre that’s he prices he gave.That’s £16/ac ...... really ?
@Rob-B Is there mildew in the crop or something , I can understand the CTL and prothio in the barley .
We used siltra and CTL for the barley and it was 13 quid an acre ..
Your wheats are getting the kitchen sink and more thrown at them , I'd be questioning your agronomist as to why he feels it needs so much chucking at ... For reference our t3 costs for Skyfall were 7 30 and zyats 5.25 per acre .
Just using straight azoles .
