Fair enough.

I've had out of date product delivered before, though only once. I go through all MAPP numbers of stocks occasionally when I'm doing COSHH audits just to check what is about to go out of date. Good stock management mitigates most of the issues though.

Did T1 a couple of days before the rain. Rained. Now it has ears about to peep out! T2 in shed. Forecast dry. Going to have to wait until after the weekend anyway now. Damned stuff.

No one is applying t2 during the middle of the day this week are they ?? I have stopped but plenty still spraying. Seams bit hot when above 20 deg ?

I am doing a load after the school run, then some time cleaning old bricks, children back, children fed and into bed. Then go do some more. Light enough to do work at comfortable temps.

Had an interesting visit today to the RL plot trials in Kingsbridge, South Devon. The level of disease in the untreated plots had to be seen to be believed. Even under a full RL fungicide regime the pressure has been immense. It made me think just how different it is across our small country. Many on this thread talking about low disease pressure and significant fungicide input reductions. Some might have thought my programme was over ambitious but seeing what i saw this morning thank heavens we didn't cut any corners.
The data from harvest when the plots are cut should prove very interesting and revealing. The latest problem in the wheat is a new explosion of Brown Rust.

Crown Rust pressure in the winter oat trials was colossal. The production and sample from the untreated plots will not be very impressive.

I demo'd that yesterday and had to apologise we had labelled the untreated plots! They all (52 WW vars) looked awful (with two or three exceptions). Agree that even with a RL fungicide programme septoria was seen on some flag leaves. Hell in a handcart, I tell thee.

I went with a particular interest to look at Sundance. I reckon it was one of your 3 ;)

Can't remember which variety this was but it will give you an idea of how severe it was

This is what gets me ,,,, for the last month or so all I've been reading on here is about how low the disease pressure has been ,,,,, and folks haven't bothered or just used a very cheap fungicide regime ,,,,, leaves me wondering where I've gone wrong , I've been on a fairly robust chem input with pretty good timings but I can see a lot of septoria trying to make its way up the plant , and if I missed any bits with the T1 ,,,,,, blimey

It's as always area and farm specific - good management is the ability to adapt to season weather and prices etc
