Spring barley fungicide

[Tractor Boy]

If you've been lucky enough to get a decent amount of rain, once the sprayer workload allows what will people use on Spring barley and what sort of rates?
In the past I've used Siltra but that seems overpriced. Previous to that I use to use Fandango.

 

[Chae1]

Been using kestrel at 0.4l/ha and swift at 0.15l/ha.

 

[Feldspar]

I've been recommended to use 1l of Fandango

 

[Brisel]

0.4 Siltra for £20/ha. The crop is clean now but won't stay that way after 7 days of rain. Fandango isn't that much cheaper when you work out an equivalent dose.

 

[Feldspar]

Our spring barley is far from clean. Lots of mildew and I can never tell the difference between stress spotting and net blotch.

Jaunt.

Jaunt.

I wish it was a jaunt.

Your not using Bravo for Ramularia control ? Or that all important disease resistance management with a multi-site active ?

I probably should be. However l have used Jaunt, which l think is prothio plus 2 strobs for several years and got on fine.....

For a few years I used kestrel +zulu but its quite expensive and I think a bit OTT for spring barley so the plan is 0.45 mobius or 0.75 fandango both have done a good job last couple of years.

Don't tend to use it at T1 here but always give it 0.75lt Bravo at T2 when awns just showing for Ramularia.
Long time since I've had an issue with Ramularia using this regime. Would be 15-16 years ago when still growing Chariot last time i saw it in the crop.

Ramularia, this early? I usually deal with it at T2 with a Proline + Amistar Opti T2 mix.

april planted barley looking at t1 in 2 weeks at gs 32 them may be ctl for ramularia if it is still wet

 

[robbie]

Sprayed my spring barley today 0.45lt/ha mobius,0.25lt cu ,2lt mg, 3lt mn.

T2 will be either fandango or if potential looks limited agate.

Will do at T2 with Bravo.
0.4 Siltra @T1 ( one field is getting Adexar as I have some left in store )
See How the weather goes before T2 choice, Either Siltra again or Fandango if weather goes back to drier conditions.

Anyone tried Imtrex + Prothio on SB ??

Walked our s barley yesterday a lot of disease in the bottom start of rynco mildew so going in with blw and fung , trace element spray as soon as possible.

A bit surprised to see so many folks not putting Bravo on with T1 on spring barley.

Do you not think its a bit risky relying on triazole +/- strob for disease control ?

Ramularia doesn't come in til later on does it? Also CTL only does ryncho and ramularia so not a lot of point putting it in at T1 when it's been a dry non ryncho year.

 

[Woodlander]

T1 on today - fungicide was 0.3l/ha Siltra. Planet - which is clean from top to bottom - the plan is to keep it that way. The plan for T2 will depend on the weather from now - but is likely to be another 0.3l/ha Siltra with 0.5l/ha CTL added. Rates may change depending on pressure and weather.

We have been recommended Jaunt again this year.
