No we arntAnd lucky to get it.
There a question I was asked. With the uk gone out of the Eu. Would they be allowed to use the banned sprays that we can’t. Or are the companies stopped making them?

Just stick to the Diesel and selling yokes at festivals .Another business idea gone up in smoke.
Looks light on N,S or Mg going by the colour, I assume its all on in the seedbed?Beet on a liquid diet
Will be grand.Looks light on N,S or Mg going by the colour, I assume its all on in the seedbed?
No doubt it will, but when your growing such a high value crop, you can't be leaving easy tons after you during the season for sake of cutting costs. From the picture I will punt at probably Mg lacking, but could be SaswellWill be grand.
I have often queried Magnesium sulphate on beet as I see a great response in cereals, from m Mag Sulphate as a foliar, are you suggesting kiserite in the seedbed at those rates a foliar would be impractical.No doubt it will, but when your growing such a high value crop, you can't be leaving easy tons after you during the season for sake of cutting costs.

A half kilo of each, per expected offtake ton, would be my thinking
Yes, 250kgs/ha kieserite and as much foliar Mg you can afford to throw at the crop. There is a good chance you will be able to recoup the cost as you may not need a fungicide. Would go with a bag of AS aswell to get S up around 75kgs/haI have often queried Magnesium sulphate on beet as I see a great response in cereals, from m Mag Sulphate as a foliar, are you suggesting kiserite in the seedbed at those rates a foliar would be impractical.
Bit late for a grass spray, won't be anyway effective now.this year i am going to try a few bags of epso on the beet
in a week or so my rows will be nearly touching so i wont be spraying soil
im thinking 75kgs on 7 acre and do that at least twice maybe 3x
i need to go through soon with a grass weed spray then 2x fungicides later on
will 75kg in 650liters be too much?
It’s not too late for grass spray at all. Scutch is slow to emerge, last week and this week are perfect for the job once leaves have not got grass covered. With some herbicides having an antagonism with the graminacide then they usually need to be done on their own anyway.Bit late for a grass spray, won't be anyway effective now.
For beet I would got with nutrition and nearly forget about fungicide unless it really needs it. Include seaweed with every pass
The Microtop you used on the cereals earlier would be ideal for use now on your beet, I would use it on your next 2 sprays and then use straight Epsotop (Epsom salts) with the final spray.this year i am going to try a few bags of epso on the beet

i got caught with cercospora big time last year and dont want to risk it this yearBit late for a grass spray, won't be anyway effective now.

agronomist bought a pallet of epsotop 🤦♂️The Microtop you used on the cereals earlier would be ideal for use now on your beet, I would use it on your next 2 sprays and then use straight Epsotop (Epsom salts) with the final spray.
It's not my beet, that's the first time I was in the field since I put the fertiliser out before it was sown. To the best of my knowledge it was sprayed on Saturday for the 2nd time but I haven't a clue what was in the tank.No doubt it will, but when your growing such a high value crop, you can't be leaving easy tons after you during the season for sake of cutting costs.

@headcase said the rows are touching, if that's the case the leaves will be shading the majority of the grasses. Amino acids on with the herbicide will allow you to squeeze applications tight, if you have to go with graminacide. If rows are touching, I can't see it been a good spend, its just too late unfortunately to get controlIt’s not too late for grass spray at all.

Work on nutrition and keep eyes pealed. I wouldn't apply fungicide right up to the point of infection. Seaweeds work super with beet as it original location was by the shore, and it will build natural defencesi got caught with cercospora big time last year and dont want to risk it this year
grass weeds are meadow grass and a few wild oat and barley volunteers
last year the field looked like whole crop beet when i sprayed the ryegrass out, thick up to the top of your wellies

Meeting on the drill and meeting on the rows are two different stages of growth on the equivalent of the Feekes scale for Beet. The Zadocks scale is only standard for the last forty years.Sorry @headcase misread your tweet, still time going by that picture
I despised the drills, and considered it a disaster the once and only time I used it here. Never again.Meeting on the drill and meeting on the rows are two different stages of growth on the equivalent of the Feekes scale for Beet. The Zadocks scale is only standard for the last forty years.
