[QUOTE="Jim Bullock, post: 4440908, member: 97"] Nobody has mentioned gout fly. It can decimate a crop cutting the yield to less than 1 ton/ha. We have been growing Spring wheat for a number of years and the yield is very variable (from 7.5 tons/ha down to less than a ton) It always gets ergot no matter where it is grown in the rotation. We have usually sold ours for feed so it is less of an issue. I am not sure it's much good in the fight against BG as you have very little chemistry available, it's not very competitive. Our early drilled crops have usually been full of BG. However we will be growing some next year on land where we have little BG, and we can get on reasonable early. [/QUOTE]
