T2

All the talk about fungicides here and revystar etc is it still not best practise to add a multisite in to protect the triazoles efficacy ? Also wondering what people are using nutrition wise in there costings.

£14.89/ha: 2.0 Gramitrel at T0, 0.5 lt Bortrac at T1, 0.5 lt Bortrac + 1.0 Magflo at T2

As much as the loss of CTL was a huge blow for septoria control some of the newer chemistry performed better without it's inclusion. I only ever add nutrition to the spray tank where there is a known deficiency. Trace elements are one of those things that give distributors large margins, it is usually only a couple of £/ac but it adds up when included multiple times.

that silveron price looks double what it should be? Invoicing error ?

I think the same, silvron 100g/Lt bixafen 100g/Lt fluopyram @£66/lt
Ascra 65gm bixafen,65g fluopyram,130 prothio @ £32/Lt doesn't seem right to me.

Maybe it is a co-pack with Zephyr (prothio + strob, although you would had come across that one robbie). That would be the distributors Ascra?

Just looked up what Phoenix is. Same as Arizona apparently (Folpet). Are chem companies going through every Us state looking for names?

 

[B'o'B]

It’s just a bad joke, like all the differently-identical “differentiated” products out there for the various distributors.

No mention of co pack and if it was a co pack why add so much prosaro.

Who buys Prosaro; cheaper to make your own with PTZ and Teb ........ but the service agronomist won’t tell you that.

No. Because flopit is not very good, and quite dear. Better practice would have been the chem companies to have tried a bit harder. But there is minimal effort to retain products that are off patent.

I've used 3lt manganese sulphate at 46p per litre at T1 and t0. Bit of mag nitrate in t0. Half a litre of zintrac at T1. 5kg kman special which is man, n, s, potash, molybdenum, boron and is about £2.59 a kilo.

Why add Mn now? I think adhb should have spent money on trying to get ctl registered. After all bbro do so for beet chemicals. Big miss by the adhb imo.

A good source in the company that originally held the patent for CTL told me that they had all of the required data to re-register the active ingredient at the EU level. However the active ingredient application was thrown out on a technicality, said company was told not to bother trying again as there would be another technicality in their application.

 

[Flat 10]

Wouldn't it be nice to dream that if they re applied in the UK that wouldn't happen........ Gosh its getting dark here, whole flock of flying pigs have obscured the sun. Joking aside if that's true, and it wouldn't surprise me then it's a sad day.

I used to(and kestrel) before I saw the light and yes the serviced agro would do all he could to put me off home mixing ptz and teb.

 

[radar]

Worse than I thought then.

 

[robbie]

Just had an email to say aviator is back to full availability, and how good it is as a T3 product. Funny how it was unavailable for T2 and our hand was forced to go for the new stuff and now it's back just in time for t3.
Yet again the chem companies are taking us the farmers for c##ts!!!!!

 

[teslacoils]

Aviator for T3! They must think we're taking it in. Half a litre of teb. Bish bash bosh. I'd like it actually ripen before October thanks.

 

[robbie]

Apartently it's what's needed at T3 and it's more important to focus on physical affects rather actual disease.

 

[bobk]

I see Revvystar comes with a health warning ..... and that's not the price .

 

[robs1]

If the weather stays dry cant see the point in a T3, by pure fluke we put the T1 on abit early due to bad forecast leaf 3 was emerged on most plants but not unrolled on many, then the rain came and it jumped through grow stages so quick the T2 was 18 days later and ears were bursting out , crop is disease free so far

Yes but I bet it won't get banned because it's ££££££ if it was cheap like CTL then.......oh wait a minute!!!!
