UK rapeseed, wheat area outlooks for 2023

[Chris Read]

Looks like more rapeseed and the same on wheat. Presumably barley area will suffer in the spring?

'Favourable' conditions spur growth in Romanian winter crop, UK rapeseed sowings

“Favourable” conditions have encouraged a jump in Romanian winter crop sowings for the 2023 harvest, and a recovery in UK rapeseed area to a four-year high, the owner of the Agrii agronomy chain said. Romanian plantings of its winter crops, which comprise largely barley, rapeseed and wheat, have...

UK winter wheat makes good start, as does French wheat

French, UK winter wheat crops for harvest 2023 make strong starts

The United Nations reported “broadly conducive weather conditions” for European winter wheat, even as French and British data showed crops in both countries making strong starts. “In the European Union, winter wheat sowings are ongoing under broadly conducive weather conditions, supporting crop...

wheat Acres will be up here I’m thinking. canola will be down. Although forward prices are decent flea beetle spray has been pulled off the market. As has any grasshopper spray containing the same active

What active please Flatlander. Thanks

Lambda cyhalothrin. With this gone we are back to permethrin and clorpyophos Not spelt right but your get the drift. Sold as dursban here. its Like dropping a nuke and wipes out most things.

Can you still use Dursban over there? Banned here long ago and if RT found a trace of it we'd never sell another ton of wheat. Does the crop get exported to us?

Still using Durban . Wheres Red tractor when you need them @Grass And Grain

....ahh, but UK Flour Millers, Red Tractor and AIC say imports get extensive pesticide tested, so it'll all be OK

Above my pay grade to comment on use (or not) of a particular active in a particular country, but iirc EU are looking at putting zero MRL on pesticides that are banned in EU, so therefore effectively banning them on imports/ use in other countries who want to export to EU.

We could do the same of we wished.

It’s not used on a wide spread basis but can be used. It’s priced such that it’s only a last resort chemical. Also our recommendation on application rates are generally lower that Europe due to the heat dryer conditions and shorter season. If it Is used in wheat it will likely hit the world market. Canola is a much more regulated crop regarding chemical usage and residue traces. We do sign a declaration that covers variety and chemical usage for human grade crops delivered. Basically mean that if residues are found we are liable.

Thank you for the reply. Always interesting to know what others are doing and using in different countries for different or same issues.

I thin we are the last to get new chemistry here. When I came here 2o odd years ago folicure wasn’t fully registered. after a couple of years it was readily available but few used it or any fungicide. Folicure tilt bravo and dithane are still used on a large amount of acres. Some newer technology trickling thru now but it would still be light years behind Europe.
