With a combination of this wet weather and hot hot hot pre/post ems we have 100 acres which looks yellow! Anybody else got this problem

Pre Em
Crystal 4lt/ha
DFF 0.25lt/ha

Post Em
Atlantis 0.4kg/ha
Biopower 1 lt/ha
Defy 3lt/ha

Should have some clean wheats if it makes it through though. TBH its all we have. If this doesnt work then we are back to square 1 (was fallow last year too!)

I haven't sprayed any post-ems yet, but put a hotter pre-em on and they came out of the ground a bit sad. Have cheered up now though. Crystal pre-em certainly hotter than Liberator in my view, especially if it gets some heavy rain soon after.

It should recover from that ok without costing any yield. It's a long way to harvest & there is plenty of growing time left this autumn.

A touch here that is looking like the pre em hit it a bit, manganese going on in the next day or two if weather looks OK to help perk it up.

Wheat here has been showing signs of pre em uptake but soon growing away from it. All was looking very good before sundays 'breeze' . All nearest the coast now has the top half of the leaf burnt off after a combination of 85 mph winds and salt burn. Atlantis was due to be applied this week but will have to wait untill the plant has recovered.
In one field of OSR , within approximately 250 metres of the sea, I have had about 2 ha totally written off by the combination of wind and salt and alot of the more forward crop look like it has had a good dose of gramoxone.

Dressed my wheat with Mang and it does seem to be looking greener than many others in the area..............
Overlaps of DFF, PDM and FFCT mix are showing a yellow tinge though.
