Winter barley 2020

[robbie]

I had a walk through most of my barley last night and i dont think its a complete disaster (yet). It varies in height from waste high to cheat high so there'll be some straw after all. The hot spots are showing up but then they do most years, one good rain would see them throught.
My biggest gripe is the amount of sterile brome I seem to have in all winter crops, I fear it could become the new black grass for lightland.

We have a couple of reasonable fields of winter barley, it just about finished flowering now. Was going to go with .16 of swift
Contains 500 g/L (45.09 % w/w) trifloxystrobin. Looks dry still for the next week , will there be much point putting it on. Or could go with aviator at .3 which will be a bit cheaper

That's the trouble - every time I work out a nice prothio-strob mix for barley, it turns out possible to get a decent slug of sdhi for less.

Is there much point in doing one now flowering is over???

Dam auto correct. I'm sure you ment 0.3 siltra[emoji12] I'd avoid swift always thought it was very expensive and distributor pet.
If you feel compelled to put something on the comet is good value at the moment.

My spreadsheet got Fandango + Swift for a quid or 2 less than Jaunt.

Not sure if I’m ment to like the nice crop of barley or unlike the black grass in the bottom of the pic.
