May not be cold enough then.
Septoria needs to be in the epidemic phase now to keep up with plant development, cold weather will check it (it's a very slow growing fungus anyway) and set it back. Upper parts of plant can emerge and function under no threat of infection. Happened in 1995 and (I think) 2001. 1995 was minus 3-5 deg C in early May though.

My WW ranges from one leaf to leaf 3 out.

SW & SB about here 3 leaf to bare ground.

it’s nuts.
I reckon it could be the year when ctl every 10/15 days at .75 could be the best way of keeping crops clean until T2 if after 20th may, our wheat is the same as yours it's all over the place but no sign of septoria yet, has had 1litre of ctl so far and getting a bit more wed as a top up

I remember some hard frosts in late April/May in possibly 2011 ?? really clobbered the podding up DK Cabernet which looked awful then recovered, the wheats and OSR yielded very well that year ? it was a similar warm dry spell to this

Do frosts slow up flea beetle ?? Asking for a friend who was stupid enough to plant Spring rape...

Since the rain mildew has really took hold in the later drilled stuff after beet. It had talius but it's going to need sorting before t2 as it's rather lush and will climb up the plant very quickly.
Previously I've always added Corbel in the T0/t1 but that's not an option anymore so I think I'll have to add some proline with the topik in the next frw days and then use a prothio based T1 if it's still hanging around.

Don't forget to add plenty of manganese.
 
Yeah that is exactly the kind of crop I used to have starting at me even early on in the season some years. Thick canopy and you could bet your bottom dollar it would have mildew all over it. Used to use a product with a specific mildew jobber in. Can't remember what though, Cloister maybe?

Crop looks fantastic, anyway.

Cloister is metrafenone + epoxy. The metrafenone is the mildewicide. Mostly protectant but some eradicant properties. Shame we lost the fast knock down of morpholines.

Theres not a lot out there now for mildew. Talius and cyfluflamid are mainly protectant and proline is the best of the rest for any eradicant activity.

Obviously theres always a good slug of boogie aswell with its sparixamine.[emoji848]?‍♂️?
