[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 8127115, member: 44728"] 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. [/QUOTE]
