T2

Main stem carries most of the yield also.

Whst if anything is best for SW improvement?

We used to put loads of bittersalz (5 kg per ha) in with the ear spray to improve grain fill but my new agronomist looked at me like I’d grown horns when I mentioned it last year.
Last year we had a fusarium nightmare and pink grains. I personally think a robust and timely ear spray is money well spent. Teb alone didn’t seem to be enough last year or maybe we just didn’t get it on quickly enough or harvested soon enough.

Controlling fusarium is best done with one’s fingers crossed. Hope this helps!

As mentioned bittersalts at t2 and T3 5kg each time and a good strobe make for good SW in my opinion.

I wrote this elsewhere but wouldn’t it be good if the ahdb did something really useful with the levy mon

Never bothered with a strob, just teb maybe plus poraz (banned now?!) t3 plus bittersalz and my specific weights are always good

Keeping the flag leaf alive and functioning for as long as possible. Sundance for instance has low spec wt because it's leaves die off earlier than many other vars.

When I say "down here" I mean south west coast not glorious Norfolk.
Some crops look fab but others look very yellow even from the road when driving past.

I think this year its been a lot to do with T1 timing

Planning on 125g/ha teb and prothio in cheapest possible form when we get to that stage (Perthshire). Is there any mileage in doing a bit of strob, bearing in mind that our wheat harvest is already late august/early september.
I usually use a bit of bittersalz as well but we have good soil reserves of mg so seems a bit pointless but cheap insurance.
Teb/prothio/Mg would be £20/ha.

Not if your aiming to plant OSR after wheat. It’s tight enough window as it is, but I’ll be damned if I’ll ever grow barley just because “it’s a good entry for rape”…

What is this OSR you are speaking off? Is that the yellow weed I see in some fields?
But seriously, we used to go teb and amistar and call it good for ear disease.

Last of the T2 on today, a bit later than I'd have liked but hay ho.
It is a bit scarry how much rust is about on any spray misses!!!! But also it shows how good a dose of teb is at T1.

 

[Renaultman]

A lot of yellowing after T2, as I drive a out.

 

[teslacoils]

Septoria, anyone?

 

[bobk]

Septoria, anyone?

Who cares , it'll be dead in a month or so anyway

 

[teslacoils]

Just wondering how life without bravo has been. Won't be dead in a month here.

 

[robbie]

Any yellowing that I've seen seems to be rust related, can't find any septoria in any wheat crops I've looked at around here.

No thanks
