t2 flag leaf spray

[franklin]

I'd better crack on - Cordiale has gone from tip of flag out to boots splitting in under a week!

I always find the main tiller starts splitting before all the secondary ones have flag fully out, so it's normal for me to do T2 as the first boots start to split.

What happened there? Looks like a 4m section of the sprayer had been turned off?

Air value/micro switch failed when doing pre/em so changed both.
Took on Thursday when doing t2 with Imtrex .750 l/ha + Osiris P .750 l/ha.

I'm not too hot on my agronomy so trust my agronomist who recommends t2s of 1.2ltrs vortex and 0.4 Lyra of bassoon does this sound about right? Diego kieldier evolution and Leeds varieties

Not bad quite a lot of epoxy,,

agree that things are moving fast now its warmed up a bit at night most boots now starting to swell and have just been for a walk to remaining varietes and both leeds and good old alchemy have the largest ears ie grain sites bigger than the other varieties in earlier post all are clean so will crack on as weather allows with flag spray leaving the option to go again

 

[franklin]

Largest ears look to be on the Relay. Smallest on Cordiale. As expected.

no wind hardly any dew 2nd load on already this morning well to be fair middle of the night back in for breakfast weather looks fine for today and tommorrow so should be done a few days earlier than planned but crops moving fast 24 days since last fungi

Fields can look awful from the road and still perform well. I had a field that was pure sliver hedge to hedge last year and it did 10.5t/ha. It doesn't take many heads/sq m to look bad

IMHO much of the problem is not bg , it's wheat

 

[Wombat]

Dad got T2 done today, not looking to bad. Some hot weather should make it look better

 

[Gone Shooting]

Finished today - wheats have really improved.

 

[franklin]

Half done. Finish at the weekend. Ears popping out now, but only 10 days since T1 and no rain.

Did some for a chap today, three weeks friday since T1 but not heard a peep from his agronomist so rang him up and said I was coming to do it, all but one field had ears two thirds out

So what was applied @T1, is 3 weeks gap a real problem, with the preceding weather pattern and disease pressure.?

T1 was part amistar opti and rubic and part was proline at .5l and ctl at 1 litre, T2 was aviator pro at 1.145, to use up full cans. we have had a few rainy days (15mm in total) between T1 and 2 and the forecast is no spray days for a wk here so it needed to go on, with ears appearing cant see the point in waiting, it is pretty clean but is on poor land and has certainly lost tillers due to the dry weather

Please look at what you have said, little rain 15mm in May, so why did it need to go on, of course I do not know the variety, Santiago rust? etc
You have to date had a fair spend so why is there a needed to go on approach. ?

Its not mine its someone I spray for,I think its evolution, septoria is the main worry in this area and its too late when you see the lesions, most would say three wks is about right between sprays and four wks plus is IMO pushing it with the hope of some rain and cant see what there is to gain waiting, hell of a risk not to put anything on, it wont get a ear wash now I assume

 

[franklin]

I think looking at the forecast, that I could have held off T2 for a good while longer and coated 80% of the ears, then back with a cheaper T3 as needed.

Same here .
With hindsight we would all be millionaires.

 

[Brisel]

No regrets about going on as soon as all the flag leaves were out 3 weeks after T1! 6 rainfall events between T1 & T2 here.

Septoria can be latent for 3 weeks before showing symptoms, by which time it is too late.

Hindsight or very simple agronomy, much the same, if you want to spend I respect that if it makes you happy do it!
