Yellow rust in wheat 2020

[Barry]

Have you applied any fungicides yet?

Reports of yellow rust in Gleam and Graham around here but I haven't had any & my T0 had teb in it (1.5 Timpani teb + CTL bought nearly a year ago needs using up)

T1 will be Proline + CTL so I will have to keep an eye out for any more rust coming in. Growing Siskin with a 9 rating for YR, Gleam 7 and Graham 8 - hardly high risk & the juvenile rust seen earlier should not be an issue now.

Siskin looks solid at the moment - The Timaru parentage seems to be holding up on (also in Costello); Graham is mainly ok, but we did pick up some drop in resistance in just one of our trials sites last year. Gleam has Hereford in the parentage and we do have concern that that resistance maybe beginning to go and I would rate it the weakest for YR of the 3.

I think Ill go .75l ha of expoxi and 1lt ctl for t1.

Done Gleam this morning

I normally do Epoxi & CTL for T1, but I took the decision just as things were starting to look like lockdown was likely to happen to go with Revystar and get it in stock, so I have plenty of fire power incase I get knocked out with Covid for a couple of weeks and can’t get sprays on. The 14 day forecast has gone from dry dry dry to wet for 8 days and windy all the way through with the proper T1 timing looking like being somewhere in the middle of it on Skyfall and Gravity. I still might be glad of the belt and braces approach, although I concede if we don’t get much rain it will be a completely over the top approach, but I have decided to be particularly risk averse this year as I also did a T0 on ⅔ of the wheat which I normally try and avoid but YR has changed that on my favorite variety Skyfall.

My agronomist has found a fair amount of yellow rust in Skyfall so far, I don't grow it, only Crusoe for milling and keeping close eye on it. All forward wheats, milling and feed have had teb and ctl last few days.

Shouldn't have said anything!! A couple of sites are showing some Yellow Rust in Siskin and Costello now. So please keep an eye out, it won't be everywhere by all means but there will be a lot of pressure this year.

Plenty of YR in Barrel.
