Too late for autumn spray?

[Timbo]

Now it's almost dry enough to travel, is it too late though??

 

[Badshot]

Depends what spray you are meaning really. What crop? Chemicals to be used?

If it's blackgrass and it's already there. Then yes it's too late.

 

[David.]

Put some cyper on today, right or wrong, it is still very mild and late sown crops are now as forward as early ones in a "normal" year.

 

[Timbo]

Barley,oats n wheat

 

[Flat 10]

I would, depends on product though.......

Put some cyper on today, right or wrong, it is still very mild and late sown crops are now as forward as early ones in a "normal" year.

Is this based upon a sum of degree days being reached meaning seed treatment effects will have worn off, or are you seeing visible damage to plants?

 

[Brisel]

Will you actually see damage from insects in cereals now? Too late for gout fly control, it's surely just about BYDV. Aphid counts are very low but they will still be flying.

 

[David.]

BYDV only, no Deter seed treatment because, normally, end Oct drilled crops would be considered safe.

 

[Gong Farmer]

There's only 'autumn' and 'spring' timings because it's assumed winter is a cut-off and nothing is done then. If the weather & crop conditions are OK and the growth stage conditions are followed then you carry on, surely?

I still have some WW and WB to get second aphicide and will go when possible
Also winter oats with nothing yet, pesky weather not played ball her at all, hoping for some dry weather next week

 

[Warp Land Farmer]

Large Neighbour was spraying September drilled WW yesterday, no idea what for tho.

 

[rob1]

Got a 8 acre bit to do for a customer tomorrow if wind allows its WB and probably last chance saloon for grassweed control

 

[Clive]

routine insecticides

as for to late to spray - I'm sill holding off on kerb, forecast looks cooler next week

 

[Bobthebuilder]

wtf are you lot using to apply ?? a hovercraft or helicopter, no way the sprayers going anywhere near a field up here untill the spring, only got 1/3 of autum chem on but its either pi55ing down or blowing a hooly up here for the past 8weeks

 

[rob1]

Well got it done, only 8 acres for someone and it was shall we say "soft" would have been fun using autosteer as I was going sideways a lot of the time. Now looking forward to next summer bouncing over the ruts
