T3

[Bigjon44]

Anyone warrant doing a T3 this year?
Growing skyfall and is a bit of yellow rust around so may do a cheapo one involving
Tebuconazole

 

[teslacoils]

Yes.
But not yet.

 

[An Gof]

Yes, now is not the time to stop. Teb + PTZ here

If there's no rain on the horizon tho can you warrant a T3?

Well, we will know after the event

We had heavy drizzle all Saturday.
Mines going to cost £8 an acre.
Why stop 10 yards short of the line?

You can have just as much disease in a dry time as a wet one.

Already past full flowering here, T2 went quite late with approx a third of the ear showing. On the watch for Brown Rust so will follow with a sniff of Teb if required, but I'm hoping I can get away with it

Yes will be doing a fairly modest T3 to protect against fusarium. In a wet harvest it’s always easy to see any misses around poles etc. Always think it’s a good insurance.

 

[Wombat]

Probably put a little bit of teb on but having looked today even sky fall isn’t shot yet so it will be a few weeks off.

 

[yellow belly]

With wheat at £ 180 a tonne it is easier to justify
but if it is still dry and forecast dry 2 weeks after then the rate of spray will be reduced

 

[Bigjon44]

Rusty when its dry and septy when its wet

 

[teslacoils]

Not getting this far for a field of dusty, black ears of wheat. Realistically, fortnight away. Weather will determine stage of application but it's still going on.

 

[Chalky]

T3 timing for fusarium control is a real pain-only very limited post infection activity even with the best PTZ. Phosphite has post infection efficacy though. For fus & michrodochium(the real nightmare in 2012) its really a pre or at very eary anthesis application. If dry conditions persist, then a more flexibly timed spray of teb(+AZ) is more then ample. Some real differences between varieties for fusarium; Cougar an absolute nightmare, Leeds pretty good. We need challenging anthesis periods to sift out the duffers as we need wet springs to dump filthy septoria varieties. We grow seed, so have to be a bit careful about our approach on some crops.

 

[Clive]

T2 only on a week

a while to t3 here yet …… which will depend on rain between now and then

 

[yellow belly]

Will be on next week
yellow rust protection
and looks dry till then so fusarium protection
feb with a bit of strobe

 

[MrNoo]

Will be going this week, Skyfall + rust, pretty bad in this area, agron said rust in most wheats yesterday when he was out, Skyfall the worst, mine included.

When was your T2?

 

[MrNoo]

When was your T2?

26th May, there were some patches of rust evident then, fired some teb at it, dried it up but evident again.

Just teb? Sounds like you're keeping costs low!
