State of your crops?

[Devon Gurfallo]

Disappointed to see this in some extase this morning.
While doing the T3 last week it looked pretty good.
We reckon it was due to T2 being a week or so late because of bad weather. Later tillers still clean.

What did you give it at T1 and T2. I will look at mine exstase later, boots were starting splitting when I done my T2

 

[redsloe]

It had 1l/ha verydor (same as revywhatsit) T2. Cant remember T1.
Very close to boots splitting when I did mine.

Well,it Seems like its sold to be the saviour and of everything.

It’s a whole different agronomic approach, not just direct drilling.

Does mixed farming (regenerative farming) result in less disease when conditions are favourable.

Sure it can help

To be fair though disease is mostly down to nitrogen

I don't think you've been paying attention properly.

I will say no till definitely helps against take all tho

 

[Phil P]

Thought I’d call and check how my extase is looking, still looks pretty clean just a little bit of tipping. Probably ready for a drink now like most other crops!

Canary seed still looking quite promising but definitely ready for some moisture now.

well i am easily distracted ....
but Takeall is simply a result of a poor rotation.

 

[Old apprentice]

Doesn't take all go after several years of continual cereals .

 

[ajd132]

There is definite proof that take all is less prevalent in good no till soils because there isn’t excess oxygen to feed it

I agree there but does modern wheat breeding go hand in hand with n and fungicides

Well had a look at my winter barley and decided to wholecrop it (round bale)
All grassland and not much barley
It just never woke up
What stage do you cut
Its at the milky grain stage atm do I wait for the cheesey stage or cut it now
Spring barley aint V good either started to shooting out and about 8 inches tall
Never had a year like it when winter and spring barley are so bad
Well done to all those on here with great looking crops

Maybe out of the pan into the fire.

Do you get Roland Tin Hat down there in Devon

I'd go with the combine you will get what is there, even better nice eating straw.

My WB is not good either. Some volunteer wheat and Brome. Tho7ght about wholecrop but will settle for some pre harvest glysophate and propcorn it for feed.

sprayer across the remaining wheats yesterday with fungicide and foliar feed, early flowering late ear emergence wether we go again is now weather dependent. Winter barley hopefully done for the year just sp barley to get round today as its a lovely still dry morning and pressure of first cut hay/haylage making is off as now all safely in other than a couple of trailers to tip

Does seem to. Dad was saying they could often get similar yields to today 20-25 years ago but didn’t need as much n or fungicide

I think we used more N years ago, certainly less sprays but possibly more effective, with less disease pressure. A higher proportion of farms would have been mixed farms then, particularly in my own area.

Rats would be my concern too
Not much barley in crop tbh
Contemplating spraying off and combining it cause Im very short of barley and could use the grassland stuff for bedding
Would Probably make the 1075 snort a bit though
