Winter barley 2019

Didn’t put me off
@Bog Man trial on yella barley was really to see if he’d get away with a jaunt to warmer climate in Feb

He was hoping to save money for the petrol for the luxury cruiser...

Yes, diesel is so crude.

I’m a firm believer in waiting for heads out when in a 3 fungicide programme..... controversial maybe but I’m sticking to my beliefs.

Was there not some trials done that showed spraying after head emergence had a negative effect on yield?.

Yep there was. It was a 2 fungicide programme tho

T3 going on the winter barley plots this evening, Ceriax + Bravo + Combitop.

Quite pleased with the crop. Barley often looks it’s thinnest at this stage of its growth. Stem numbers seem very good.
Early N + early CCC is giving a good result I think.

Funny, I was complaining earlier that mine was too thin! Maybe it is!

Sprayed my winter barley T2 today (2 spray fungicide programme this year). Mettle/Inception, ctl, and combitop. Crop looks well apart from a very noticeable amount of Bydv (deter treated seed, but no follow up aphicide)

I was expecting it to be more blue or you waiting for last bag to kick in

I used the flash in the camera as black blue crops are hard to take pics of. I might throw another couple of bags on it if I think if begins to fade back to just green, I wouldn’t want the neighbours thinking I ran out of merchant credit.

If total units per acre doesn’t start with a 2 are you really growing wheat or barley

For spring crops you’d have to be starting with 2. You’d have to be stronger than that on winter crops. Go big or go home.

Kosmos with 160 units

@CORK would consider that semi organic

 

[Blackwater boy]

A few grains more than 160 on this......

Winter barley got its last spray today, Siltra 0.6 l/ha, Avoca 1 l/ha and Magnus 1.5 l/ha.
Close the gate now and grease the combine...

As discussed target spraying winter barley in window Sat 11/5 to Wed 15/5. Recommendation: Combitop 5.4Kg/ha (25Kg/11.5ac) Proline 0.46L/ha (1L/5.5ac) Credo 1.1L/ha (5L/11.5ac) + Axial Pro 0.6L/ha (3L/12.5ac)
Got this done yesterday hopefully gate closed until harvest

Carefully with your records and the axial pro.

Canary grass or wild oats?

 

[kverneland es 80]

Wild oats

 

[kverneland es 80]

Confess to being a bit lost .what's the problem with it .that's the spec I got from my advisor

Only approved to GS41

 

[mixedbag]

Easily solved, just write 39 in the records!

 

[nashmach]

Is 0.6 not heavy for wild oats, I've had 0.7 I think recommended for canary grass. Had older Axial to use up first anyway.

 

[dmaxman]

Wouldn't consider it heavy, you are trying to kill a large plant now.

Same as .33 of the old stuff, it’s heavy enough but big wild oats possibly heading out or close to it would need that. It’s not cheap tho.

They only caught Al Capone when they found the second set of books. Heard that in Wexico last week.
