I should add I m starting to see yellow rust in extase .
Just finished mine yesterdayCalm down. Just started T1 today!
Weed wiper it on skinny row cropsI know it fly's in the face of modern thinking but I work for a business man we have some really dirty fields of wheat ie Blackgrass and Ryegrass which I would was educated to not tolerate.but he thinks differently to me it will really knock the yield ( yes I know it's all wrong ) but I just wondered whether it's worth spending so much on when we will never see a return on investment
I thought you'd be impressed I knew I'd seen something odd in any arable crop!
Here...you're not a bit 'chapel' yerself are you?
Finished mine thursday , have to say it was a bit lateJust finished mine yesterday
This is so true, so much time, though, magazine space etc etc goes into wheat fungicides. When basically most still end up doing the same thing every year perhaps with just a newer fungicide.It so depends on the variety and what disease potential there is. T2 is the most cost efficient timing, but if there is not any disease present and the weather looks dry, why bother on crops that aren’t going to give a decent yield?
If there is disease present and the variety is susceptible, then give it a suitable rate of T2 to control the disease and provide some future protection, then shut the gate. T3’s are the least most cost effective unless it suddenly turns wet in June.
If the crop never looked promising earlier, but was disease free, hopefully you didn’t bother with a T1 and certainly not a T0.
Funny how we spend so much time talking about fungicides, when in reality they are the least most cost effective products we put through the sprayer, unless disease pressures are high.
We seem obsessed with the T timings. T0 is probable a waste of time now we have lost CTL. Only bother with a T1 as long as the crop has potential. As long as there is at leat some potential give it a T2 and only a T3 if there is potential and threatening wet weather in June.
If you have a particularly disease resistant variety, you’d be amazed how well it will do without much, if any fungicides, unless it is a particularly wet weather year.
I would suggest that in many ways, Fungicide promotion has been a hugely successful “propaganda’’ tool by the big companies. Companies such as Syngenta, have been very clever with their Fungicide Challenge events.This is so true, so much time, though, magazine space etc etc goes into wheat fungicides.

I’d be looking at Elatus era on a bad rust varietyour problem or should I say my problem is my employer likes milling wheats mainly Skyfall and Zyatt both yellow rust varieties and yellow rust has been and still is present so T0 T 1 have been aimed at this so I can see a payback and I will include teb at T 2 but what to partner it with ? Folpet prosaro and ???
Used Elatus Era at T 1I’d be looking at Elatus era on a bad rust variety
In that case I’d add some Comet/vivid pyraclostrobin to whatever T2 product you useUsed Elatus Era at T 1
We got /had yellow rust in our Zyatt so yesHeard from a few people that Zyatt has gotten quite rusty this year already.is this true?
Yes, will be the last year for Zyatt here.Heard from a few people that Zyatt has gotten quite rusty this year already.is this true?
Have you eradicated/controlled it?We got /had yellow rust in our Zyatt so yes
