Proline/Teb. All milling and all on over the last few days. Ears all out but not flowering. Would rather be early than late.
Winter barley coming off early July then?Was speaking to a chap who used to work in trials for BASF who reckoned that in a dry year you should use older chemistry at T2 and use an SDHI at T3 as it will keep the flag leaf greener for longer. Said it wasn't really worth it in a normal year but that he'd seen good results in these dryer springs. BASF never pushed it as they always wanted to get the sales at T2.
Anyway i'm giving it a try on some, got a holiday booked for the 1st week of the school holidays....
I've heard similar but with cheap old chem at T1 and then the 2nd sdhi at T3.Was speaking to a chap who used to work in trials for BASF who reckoned that in a dry year you should use older chemistry at T2 and use an SDHI at T3 as it will keep the flag leaf greener for longer.

That depends on how brave you are feeling at T1. And you’ve done a T0 3 weeks or less before that. Your strategy is probably ok in the dry east but tricky where septoria pressure is higher. Prothio plus teb plus Bittersalz planned here for what look like decent potential yields here if we get a good grain fill periodI've heard similar but with cheap old chem at T1 and then the 2nd sdhi at T3.
Depends what you want from a T3, rust, sept or fusarium control ??Who is doing one and what are you using .
Forecast after Wednesday is looking dry and warmer, so wondering if there’s much to be gained, other than piece of mind .
This is the first year ever that I've used a sdhi at T1. Last year was so dry it got teb and previously it would have been epoxi and Ctl.That depends on how brave you are feeling at T1.

What sd was that Rob?This is the first year ever that I've used a sdhi at T1. Last year was so dry it got teb and previously it would have been epoxi and Ctl.
I do think the sdhi has gone a cracking job of keeping the lower canopy clean and I must admit I don't think I'd want to go back to using the old chemistry at T1 despite looking back with rose tinted glasses.
Would you want to turn up to a gunfight with a knife ??This is the first year ever that I've used a sdhi at T1. Last year was so dry it got teb and previously it would have been epoxi and Ctl.

It would be fine if enemy didn't have any bullets in their guns. Problem is, we don't know if they've got any ammunition or not, and we often don't know until the trigger's pulled, at which point it might be too late.Would you want to turn up to a gunfight with a knife ??
In the SW you’d know that the Septoria races you are dealing with mean that all older chem will leave you on the back foot, rust varieties are known and will need treating, in most situations wheats with a premium attached will respond to a fusarium treatments, cleaner varieties grown for feed then don’t apply, there’s not too much guessing there is there ?It would be fine if enemy didn't have any bullets in their guns.

Mine is all clean this year so I’ve done the same and waited for ears to be out. I’m not planning a T3 at the moment. Some of mine this year had flowers visible 6 days after ear emergence…unless people bounce back and hit the fusarium timing all a T3 will do is top up disease control.I only got my T2 on over the last few days. Plenty of ears out too.
Not sure whether a T3 is worthwhile now or not.
I tried some K and PGA at T2, it's a job getting foliar k worth the money.Teb + Az + K, Mg, P
Teb + Az + K, Mg, P
is that Magphos K?
approx £5-6.00 / ltWhat's magphos k cost roughly?thinking of wacking a bit on the spuds this year
