Winter wheat looking damaged

[lloyd]

Hi have two fields that are light to medium soil types
Planted perfect conditions
Came up well looked good.
Were sprayed with Firestorm 61%rate and Sempra 29%rate late Oct
started to look checked after spraying and gradually look worse
to the extent the tips have turned yellow and some leaves brown.
Agronomist took leaf test fortnight ago and said every things fine
but definitely effected tillering ?

Any ideas?

Any frost before and after application?
Any pics?

There was a light frost couple of days earlier but no heavy frosts
Will pop up road and upload picture!

Cold wind nipped it up. Seen it before.

A go with some manganese and mag phos K will get it choochin again. Plus some warmer weather.

You shouldn’t have seen damage this late after application. The herbicides will be long gone. On light ground you can get crop damage if it rains heavily post application as the herbicides leach down to the young roots before they’ve had a chance to bind to the soil particles.

Pictures would help, as would some more details of timings for sowing, operations and doses.

The green field was planted two wks later
and sprayed with the Sempra taken out.

Is Sempra diflufenican? Not usually a product that risks scorch. Especially at low rates

Yes(500g/l)
Firestorm Flufenacet(400g /l) and Difllufenican (100g /l

It's classic winter-itis and I saw it a million times. Some warm weather and a chance to dry out and it will be ok once it has its feet into some nutrition. Don't let it get too severe without a pick me up.

Our forward Shabras wheat looks a bit yellow after those hard frosts 10days ago, bit of warmth and AN and it will be fine. I wouldn’t worry at all.

 

[shakerator]

Looks more than fine to me

 

[lloyd]

The last picture is adjoining wheat
Which looks much healthier !
So i eliminated frost changing the colour .
leaf test came back high in nitrogen so trying to work out
why thats more yellow than my other wheats .
Probably nothing to worry about

My Zyatt after beans is looking particularly bad. Just about to get a tickle of nitrogen. Very wary about losing tillers in a hungry crop at this time of year.

Mine looked very similar around 7 days ago, we did have a -10C frost one night prior, it has since perked up no end, think the frost scorched it, some fields worse than others, guess the orientation of them towards or away from the sun and any hollows where the temp would have dropped further wouldnt help matters, it is growing like buggery now and has been growing all winter steadily, may have to get some sheep on it at this rate!!!

Yep the yellow coloured is Zyatt whereas the
green coloured wheat is Crispin

Mines been getting worse over weekend. Spoke to agronomist just now, common this year around here with Zyatt , he’s agreeing with giving it a boost of N

My Zyatt is looking similar . I hope it is just a variety trait because the last time this field looked like this it turned out to be BYDV and we lost over 30% of yield . It was a different variety that year .

 

[Tompkins]

Similar yellowing on tips of leaves but I'm putting it down to being very thick and forward? Question is do we give it a sniff of N or hold off?

 

[Brisel]

What variety? If it's leggy I'd hold off for a bit or be prepared to use more PGR later on.

Is that soil fertile usually?

I'd be content to leave that alone for now. You can't even see the ground between the rows!

Keep an eye on it but I would not be too worried about that. It will probably want a stiff PGR at T0 at any rate.
