Will you apply a t0

Will apply a fungicide at GS30 because I will be going through the crop with pgr & nutrition anyway.

It will be cheap(Bravo) more than likely(variety profiles), though when the time comes there may be need for a bit of cheap triazole for rust.

BUT- it is ages away, so don't worry about it yet. It may be cold & dry by mid march, then again it may not be.

Don't farm a previous seasons crops, decide by what is in front of you as you approach the relevant timing.

Why not wait and see what the temperature does rather than blindly pursuing a set fungicide model because people and companies involved with selling chemicals have convinced us all this is what must be done!
Far from blindly following chem companies here, but *at the moment* a T0 would be looking likely in *my* part of the country with very high septoria pressure most years, as well as YR and Mildew kicking about and big lush crops that will need pgr at the same timing, 1 ltr/ha generic ctl is not going to blow the fung spend !!

"T0" ideal to get on top of rust mildew and forward crops while addressing any micro nutrient shortages.
as always its cheaper and more importantly more effective to treat problems before they get out of hand! but as already said its jan and you can not make a decision yet as who knows what crops will look like at the end of march!

Latent septoria can be in the plant for 4 weeks before showing lesions. I'm sure you'll wait & see before deciding on a T0 based on what you have just said.

Much rust about in the dry East? ;)

Can you translate that ? Are you saying that there is little snow cover over there?
i dont think there is much snow cover or as important there has not been upto now plus their establishment and acerage of good wheat is down on previous years it all depends on whose view you take to back your instincts and im looking for any glimmer of hope cos as sure as hell if somewhere doesnt have a shortage we arnt going to see any upswing
 
Got mildew and septoria in more forward wheat but no intention of any fungicide at all on them this year, hope to hold my nerve but all the data suggests it's a waste of money on them from a variety point of view. Later planted being Leeds will get a sniff when we can move probably T3.
 
What's the best T0 or T1 for septoria nodorum?...I can get certain chemical here but not much on years of experience and real life observations...I will also be targeting eyespot...

It will be applied pre the wet...given we don't have an idle period it would be like the start of a very wet spring for you guys....

Interesting to here varities that are doing better with disease...

Cheers, Ant...
in the 1970s early1980s septoria nodorum was the predominat type in the uk
in those days we used to use a cheap mbc fungicide at gs 31 when eyespot was susceptible to it then we used a flag /ear fungicide by helicopter bayleton or tilt and grew 4 tonnes in first wheats after grass the same conditons now would yield 5 to 6 tonnes with todays varietys

you will need to find out if the septoria nodorum in your area is susceptible to the fungicide you have available may be try Tasmanian or kiwi advice as their weather may be more like yours and they may have desease knowledge regarding susceptibility
if few farmers have used fungicides in your part of Victoria then you may find that the cheap fungicides will do the job
tebuconazole or other azole may be a cheap effective fungicide if yur diseases have not had much previous fungicide use

Didn't use a T0 last year. It would only be for Septoria here as YR is rare with us.
If I were to do it then it would be Bravo but trials here show no yield benefit as far as I know.

Cheers, information is limited as the push into serious cropping in wet coastal areas is very recent....I will do some more hunting around....there was some work done by govt dept in Western Australia...but offered no recommendation !!...handy...
