Holding here. PGR pointless in these conditions. Some YR about but not developing yet but will go with teb as soon as 24 hours clear of frost. Forecast suggests it could be latter part of the week before we go.

Luckily all of our cereals had a good dose of manganese about a month ago. They will be getting some more ASAP though.

I've stopped applying Hatra or Palio. Anything with Moddus in too. My agronomist wrote tickets for T0 with Canopy in which made me wince but it is kinder on the crop, apparently.

Peoples thoughts on this subject?
Have wb to do. Fung, herby, mang, pgr.
For one thing and another, I dont know when I will get back to it if I miss this afternoon.
Maybe there will be a frost tonight, maybe not 🤷‍♂️

Minus 2 last night here but the sprayer is loading up with PGR and manganese for some wheat then Hatra in other wheats. No frost up here until Wednesday/Thursday

Only night there looks like no frost is Tuesday night (tomorrow).....tb testing tomorrow tho 🙄.
Thinking of heading on and leaving the herbicide out. Might take the edge of the mix

You have plenty of time for the Gropper and it shouldn't be harsh on the crop. The Moddus could tickle it up. What dose is it?

Are you doing your whole mix or just the herbicide?
My whole mix is either 1/2 rate Thor/taxi plus MN, bittersalts,cu,zn
Or half rate ally max with one block getting a litre of 750 mcpa aswell plus the nutrients no growth regs at all.

In your mix I'd think the moddus, especially at 0.2 would be what could cause damage with frosty weather.
I could have chucked some teb into a couple of fields as there is a odd bit or two of rust but either it'll wait till T1 or I'll lap over it next week.
