Spraying with a frost at night.

[snipe]

Got some fungicide, growth reg and manganese to go on wheat and barley but keep getting -1 for a few hours early morning. I’m holding off at the moment, are people still spraying and do they have any bad scorching

Holding off here. Nothings hurting at the moment . Why kick a crop that’s under stress

 

[David.]

Same here, but there is a bit of y rust about that doesn't want allowing to get away.

 

[Steevo]

Likewise. Looks like less cold nights end of next week though. Crops are going to jump once they get going again.

Can’t see the CCC will do much good with temps like this either.

Going shortly when frost lifted here -2.5 last but that’s for pre. Emirgance as risk of frost is reduced tonight but hanging off all other sprays and worried if I don’t do the pre em now I will miss the window for pre em and far rather go now than post em on sb

Waiting until middle of the week.

Why would you be worried about a pre em?

It's good weather atm. Cold is holding crops clean. Wb is spotless land. Here in Ireland land is drying nicely. Usually we suffer from excess rain. no ccc out yet.

I'm holding off. Daytime temperatures are into double figures from midweek, and rising nicely after then.

Be interesting to see levels of growth with a bit of heat! Had to defrost car windows at 8 this morning.

Lack of moisture going to be a issue soon for us on light land.

I would put pre-em on now and wouldn't bother me a jot if I could travel sensible.

Fungicide, manganese and a bit of PGR won't hurt a crop.

I’ve been sitting on our wheat pgr recommendation for a couple of weeks now. Hopefully midweek the temperatures should be more like it.

 

[Bury the Trash]

Yes Wednesday seems to be an improving forecast, will have a serious go then i think.
mind you the dry and wind is also stressing things as much as anything.

 

[DrWazzock]

If it looks stressed from lack of manganese I’m giving it some but making sure it’s well dried on before the dew and frost comes in. My worry is if I don’t get the Mn on the frost will Knacker it mire than ever. I could be wrong of course.

What is the coldest temperature you guys would chance CCC at ? Iv CCC to go out on WO and WW but the night temperatures are falling to 1 or 2 degrees? Iv medax max to go on WB too

With ccc it’s more it won’t work than anything else isn’t it?

I'm of the same view as you, I'll be spraying tomorrow regardless MN is showing up and that'll do more harm than frost. This is with nutrients I wouldn't be putting pgr or herbs in with frosty weather, also I'm more cautious with powder MN than liquid.
