T1

[robbie]

I've been for a walk around this evening and I think this could be the cheapest year in my career for fungicide spend.

A field of late drilled wheat has surprised me it's got bad mildew and will obviously be sprayed asap but before the rain, it was at t1 timing which i planned to be ctl+epoxi +Corbel but since the rain it's motored on and has leaf 2 half emerged and no rust so I'm tempted to go corbel+ctl to clear up the mildew and wait till flag leaf emergence or even ear emergence to give it something more substantial as a head and shoulders.

Spring barley is another one. t1 was planned to go on 10days/week ago but lack of disease and more importantly lack of rain made me hold off ,then the wet whether has delayed it further.well this evening it has flag leaf emerging so in a weeks time will be at t2 and I can't see why a single spray won't be sufficient.

That spring barley is about the same GS as my winter barley. My spring barley is only about 6"high.

Don't let mildew get onto the ear. It's not expensive to control now anyway.

I won't. I've got the Corbel to sort that tomorrow. If it's likely to be a bit mildewy later on them I'll go with aviator at t2 for the prothio or perhaps if it's riddled then I've found a genuine reason to us Boogie xpro!!!!

Mildew control will get a bit dearer next year with the loss of fenpropimorph. What options are left? talius is more protectant, cyfluflamid is ok but expensive, that leaves proline and spiroxamine.

I find it fairly uncomplicated via the website and easier with the phone. I m 55 with no computer training and normally manage. As for user location, it should be part of everyone's profile IMO

It’s not complicated. It just doesn’t work half the time. The site just sits there doing nothing so after 10 mins you give up. Then next minute it’ll work. As I said it works half the time.

think the problem could be your end, certainly no error reports here and a lot of photo's uploaded every day by many others,

Possibly browser or firewall related as current forum software versions is dated now and struggles with some features in more modern browsers big update very soon though that will sort that

I have the same issue as @warksfarmer uploading photos using safari on iOS.

Agree, it doesn’t work

 

[Brisel]

No problems here on iOS & Safari

Use cloister as a tank mix partner as required.

It had somehow passed me by that we are losing fenpropimorph.
What else will we not have next season....i can't keep up with the yes / no rumours surrounding exopiconazole.

I'm not familiar with that one is it epoxi/Corbel simular to mantra/asana minus the strobe.

I think epoxi is ok until 2022.

 

[ollie989898]

It's epoxiconazole and metrafenone. I used to use it as my tank mix partner with whatever SHDI I was going to use at T1- if I had a thick crop with mildew skulking around in it, I used cloister. It wasn't silly money from memory, either. Saves having more and more cans of stuff to order and tip in the tank, too as a handy product. Unless of course you are into boogie, etc.

I've done spring barley as a one pass wonder before, if there were no weeds in it and the farmer didn't want too much extra work then it was the default choice. I used to use Zephyr a fair bit, timed right it was a good barley product and I didn't see the need to spend too much money on spring barley if they weren't chasing yield. Around here a lot of it ended up being drilled way too late to bring on the bumper yields anyway.

This was drilled early feb it's has Ally max and mcpa along with 3 passes of mn+ TE. I'm chasing yield from how it looks will do very well but there's no disease and and very soon it'll be at t2 so I may as well hang fire until then.

My plan for t1 was 0.75lt bontima,0.3 proline. as it's in stock and bought very well I'll use it at t2 but up the rate to a lt and add some ctl along with 5 kg epso top.

Just had a look at the rest if the wheat and its all got mildew skulking about in the bottom despite 0.3 Corbel at t1.
But it is rather thick and lush so it's expected really.

That crop is typical of 75% of the wheat I used to see. So thick you can barely walk through it.

Much of mine was drilled behind grass around the second half of September. By Christmas you would not be able to see the dirt. I remember, in my first year out, I had a crop directly behind someone's silage pit, been in grass for years. I put 0.2 moddus +1L CCC on that crop, at T0 and T1. The stuff was still up to my waist and the man combining it could not believe the yield- over 6 tonne/acre and the masses of straw falling out the back of his Lexion- the power of cow muck.

I'd go with that- use the stuff up and it will keep the crop going for a long time.

No grass or cows but plenty of pigs bums doing a lot of good.
Ps only a lt ccc at t0!!!!
