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.
