T0

[fudge]

YR easily found in susceptible varieties today. I am sure they will require a spray before T1.

 

[Brisel]

Little YR left where there was some before the cold snap. No guarantee that it won't flare up again.

Experience says if you can find it now it’s not going to be controlled by the weather over the next ten weeks. Upto now it’s been too cold but temps on the increase (at last) round here. I don’t think there’s a panic for spraying next week, l’ll be drilling beans anyway. T1 is usually end of April for us which is too long to leave the rusty varieties IMO.

Good ten days off t0.

Unless crops move quickly 10-14 days off here, lots of yellow rust dried up with the cold snap end of Feb however 5 miles from the North Sea means it will be getting some Teb (maybe + Az) all Kerrin. Last year T2 went on 4 weeks after T1, 2 days later visible symptoms then dried up so really looking at 3 1/2 week intervals. That is what I am planning.

Drove past some wheat yesterday that looked green as green and very very happy with itself- easily half way up your welly if not more so. Plenty of growth there but didn't stop to check actual growth stage.

Growing v slowly here with a brisk N wind

It seems a long time ago now, but when I started farming I only used a T3 and my yields weren’t much less than they are now with a four fungicide program. My agronomist always tells me that fungicides provide the best return on investment of all my inputs...

flag leaf?

 

[bobk]

Try putting no N on , .... oh forgot agro's don't sell N

Yeah we have some kerrin. I don’t normally(never) do T1.5 but I predict some people will this year. The rust pustules I was looking at this morning weren’t “dried up” .

these cool damp mornings will be raising the pressure for sure

flag leaf?

Apologies, I meant to write T2, which is flag leaf.

 

[Hjwise]

I see a ‘pre-T0’ being mentioned in FW this week. Surely it should be called T-1?

Why anyone grows varieties that are that bad they need a pre t0 is completely beyond me.

or “some better champagne at the next Christmas party” at the distributor

 

[czechmate]

Not quite on topic but without CTL now and thinking of just a one spray, what is the best timing? Flag leaf? As @EddieB write he used to.
My « agronomist » here is suggesting on ears, seems too late to me

Mind you, the difference here may only be a week

Bear in mind teb can't be applied before GS30 now, that scuppers any ideas of 'pre-T0s'

Can probably apply a strob, but only before any infection appears - if no rust there, why consider an extra spray?

When I started we weren't treating the flag leaf, 'the ear was where the yield came from' so that was the most important timing.

I must admit, after 2012, fusarium still scares me to death

 

[EddieB]

I think of an ear spray as an insurance against years like 2012. We used a robust T3 that year and our specific weights just about held up. One of our neighbours ended up with wheat the weight of oats.
