Which fungs for Septoria , T1 and T2

Is that like dropping the kids off at the pool?

Its the day when they realise that Mrs teslacoils is in charge, and the howls of protest this involves. She is about to suggest healthy exercise, while all we've done is build a scenic model village from cardboard, and killed folk in fortnite.

I'd love to see a picture of your thin wheat, I'm fed up with looking at a field of my own!

Looks ok from the road. But in the field not so good. Drilled end of November after grass. Bloody ground was so hard it wouldn't plough until every other field was drilled. Half the field had latitude and the other had some insect dressing. I've rolled it once and may even do it again at the weekend if it's not grown too much. Typically, it's the field next to my house. Not a disaster but not a patch on the good stuff.

Here's a field of continuous cereals next to it. Sigh.

Yes, it can be tough at times. Get a 2019 autumn and those grass leys are ideal.

When it turned over, it was really nice. But in early September it just wrecked the tyres. I'm not sure why this has ended up so patchy as it's been a kind back end. Probably I should have sown more seeds. Although it's the lighter bits of ground that are the worst, so maybe lack of consolidation? Anyways, it's thickened up from the first rolling. And doesn't appear to have much grass weed. Although where the bloody osr has come from that is now merrily germinating i don't know. Still, it's wheat so it's got a good chance to tiller and get decent bushel.

I remember a crop of robigus after beet that must have been rolled three times in spring 2006 and put out maybe fifteen tillers each plant.

Your not alone Pic 3 looks like some Claydon I tried as a look see, but never again!

I reckon I can push the field to 3t/AC.

The annoyance is that the field of wheat after ab6 fallow looks the absolute dogs danglies, and has paid plenty better than the grass experience. So all this "ah grow grass, put some fibre in, drill it later, proper farming" gubbins seems to be economically sub optimum. And by some way. It could only be worse if I had fed the grass to my own sucklers.

Thought that I was the only one to get this sort of patchy establishment, but after talking to a few locals, it seems that there are fields all over like this, that look like Teslacoils, good from the edge but when you get into them are disappointing.
I should say that plenty of seed was drilled, nearly two hundredweight an acre, but after emergence, the plants thinned out gradually. Not due to slugs I should add.

 

[teslacoils]

The bits behind the drill wheels are better. As are the headlands where dad used the seed up at some crazy rate. It may be that the thatch had too much wildlife in it; or it wasn't consolidated enough; or we simply didn't put enough seed in. Late november wheat after grass is not something I'm used to.

Always fouund grass let's a pain in the arse. Can't beat wheat and rape rotation, and I am serious. Plenty of hen muck in front of rape.

Slugs and blackgrass put a stop to that here

Two wheats, ab6 stewardship looks pretty solid. I like the grass but it simply doesn't pay enough compared with the govt shilling; some old barley or oats spun on and ploughed in early.

I've got a field of wheat the same. It was drilled end of October after long term set a side. It ploughed over very well, was drilled and rolled but over the winter it had thinned out.
I put it down to a combination of lack of consolidation, dressed seed which was slower to grow wildlife in the ploughed in debris and maybe pre em damage.

 

[teslacoils]

Plant response to a good bash from the rolls. Now it's getting a fair wallop of CCC, amistar and minerals. I'd have liked to roll again but it's growing fast.

Bulking up a bit now.

 

[redsloe]

Bulking up a bit now.

Fantastic growing spell for us the last couple of weeks too!

 

[DanniAgro]

Bulking up a bit now.

Looking good.
My thin fields are a lot better now, especially Extase, and an application of Scyon. It's third leaves are like sails in the thinner parts!

 

[teslacoils]

Yup. Mine was looking a bit sad, I think a combination of the lack of root mass compared to the others + my rolling the crap out of it + cold + no rain. But its perking up now. It will still be down on ears I think but hopefully bushel will be decent. I'll probably use some for seed.
