Spraying with a frost at night.

[Humble Village Farmer]

We would have been so chuffed to get weather like this in December or January.

 

[Auckland Blue]

weather holding disease and growth at the moment so holding PGR, fungicide, and manganese until middle of the week at the earliest.

 

[yellow belly]

Most disease will not be increasing with the night frosts

to early for t1 on wheat no great rush

Holding here

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.

 

[EddieB]

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

17 deg here today, down to 2 deg tonight. Can’t imagine the crops appreciating such a range.

What herb and pgr is in the mix?????

Good question. Gs 32 is the cut off point for many herbicides.

 

[robbie]

My hand is being forced today because of herbs(mcpa)
And my cousin is holding off spraying cintac untill tomorrow but it's getting a bit squeaky bum.

 

[Zippy768]

Ccc and moddus. Herb is gropper

Gs 39 cutoff
I dunno if I'm doing the right thing leaving it out. Too late now

Are you doing your whole mix or just the herbicide?

 

[Brisel]

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?

.2 moddus so small rate. Gropper manufacturer suggested leaving it out at mo. Apart from tomorrow night, looks like the rest of the week is still cold at night

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.
