My thinking at the moment...

I intended to give my wheats(all Diego) a T0 which would have been 0.3 comet
1lt ctl 0.15 cyflufenamid 2lt ccc+mg and mn.
I haven't been able to get on with the T0 so I'm thinking do I just add 3/4 to a litre of epoxi to the above mix and call it T1 or for not a lot extra ££££ I could go with 1lt tracker which seems a bit ott.
The main disease is the mildew, there's very little rust or septoria.

I've proved to myself every year here that SDHI gives MOIC - keen as I always am to cut costs I dot want to cut margin

going with cheap as chip generic CTL / Teb and greg at the moment but will be using whatever SDHI looks best value at later timings if the crop looks like it has potential

I’m away next week so that’s been my plan as well. Without being too nosey what is “greg”?!

Great product Broadway, seems to have completed sorted a broome issue here over a couple of years use and was discussing with agronomist today what value it is now prices are where they are vs a topic, starane, ally type approach to spring herbicide
Broadway has always been cheap in my view. Covers so many weeds. It’s a shame Unite has gone as that did AmG too, which was fantastic on late drilled heavy land.

What can you use on later drilled wheat, that missed a pre-em, that will take out the AMG? Half rate pacifica? Is a half rate wise? It always seems harsh on the crop.

Half rate Pacifica, 0.25-0.3 Atlantis, or Othello.
Obviously same actives, but only real choices.
Hussar used to do it too, just been so long since I’ve used it I can’t remember if it’s still available.

For a dirty variety that's had no T0 there's no eradicant in that mix.

Sisking/Graham/Lili. Ok septoria ratings but weak on eyespot and brown rust. Probably Tracker for epoxi + eyespot, Adexar for septoria and more epoxi. CTL for protection. 1 litre of 3C for PGR. Add Moddus to Siskin if still looking frothy.

Waiting for my latest tissue test results but planning on a 65p/ha litre of magnesium too (lots of cases of staggers in cattle on grass locally + low Mg in the first tissue test). (Mn with Broadway Star, Boron with T0). I agree with Ollie aboout mildew but none seen here yet.
Explain reasoning for only 1 lit CCC please. Because it’s cheap and relatively kind to the crop I have always used full rate on wheat that isn’t pushed that hard. Or are you splitting it? Thanks

Probably splitting the dose, that's what I do.
1ltr each @T0 & T1, with addition of Moddus @ T1 if needed, leaving some later Terpal if needed...

A straw pole of people’s fungicide spend would be interesting after the article entitled “keep your fungicide spend under £100/ha”
I don’t think I’ve ever spent that much

T0 = £0-£5
T1 = Plan A £14 or Plan B £37
T2 = £40 - £45
T3 = £8

Total somewhere between £62 and £90 depending on variety and weather over the next 10 days

Much the same here, I don't like to be much over £80 and ib a low disease year around the £60.

T0 I never normally bother but this year £22.47, the inclusion of a mildewicide was £12.50 alone.

T1 plan A £14.72
Plan B £25

T2 £36

T3 if we're not droughted out by then,
Plan A £8, plan B £13

Variety Diego.
