Winter Wheat 2021

[Hardysplicer]

Broadway Star . We more or less have stopped using Pacifica . It needs temperature and it is hard on the crop.

im same its about 10 years since i used it

What are you trying to kill

Wild oats and weeds. Our wheat got no herbicide yet.

Does Broadway stay cover everything?
Cheaper?

 

[13spanner]

Hurler for weeds
Axial for wild oats.

Have you annual meadow grass

Yes

Sterile Brome Wild Oats are the main weeds.
We did not put on any autumn herbicide. Last year we might have used a bit of Hurler on some fields.

Pacifica is almost like another pgr on the crop, it will stall growth for about 10 days, if there's a small miss anywhere you'll spot it mile away as it will be much darker green. A month later you wont find that miss( well you might because it will be full of dirt)

Pacifica at 300g here and have always found it good value as we would always have to include a wild oat spray otherwise.

Same here as above. Used to wait for warm conditions but sprayed it on 25/2/19 on advice and it worked very well.

One weed I find comes through In Pacifica is knotgrass, it’s usually only where the crop is a bit weak. I have put Cameo Max in with it and it still came through.

 

[Barrowsider]

Broadway star here for the last 10 years. Wheat every 3 seasons. A very notable reduction in wild oats on the farm over the last few years which we attribute to Broadway Star. A great herbicide IMO.

 

[Blackwater boy]

Yes

If you have annual meadow grass then you have no choice but to use Pacifica or alister. 300g/ha is actually great value when you compare it to an autumn herbicide and then turn around and use axial for the wild oats on the spring then. It’s a lot cheaper.

Mix fluroxapyr with the Pacifica and bio power, great job.

Used Pacifica last at half rate in the feb sown winter wheat , did an ok job on the grass but the missed the oats completely, crop was thin and under pressure so didn’t want to stress it anymore. The drought probably didn’t help it work as got a lot of late oat tillers.

Winter wheat mini plots have established well. The fertility after grass is showing in them. Sown mid October.

All 800 of them are new un-named varieties being tested here purely for Septoria resistance.

Look very healthy Cork. Is each variety replicated? Will they receive a standard fungicide programme or remain untreated? An ideal climate for Septoria evaluation.

If they're being tested for resistance I would imagine no fungicide will be applied.

I was surprised how green they were this afternoon. Previous crop was grass and it’s showing.
They’ll just get PGR and no fungicide.

Jesus how will you cope with not putting 4 fungicides on them? I’d collapse...... you’ll still have to drive the sprayer through them 6 or 7 times.

I know, it’ll be cold turkey for me. I’ll need sedatives and I plan to spray another crop with 8 fungicides to bring balance back into my world.

 

[13spanner]

Looks like the sowing I done years ago with a dodgy metering wheel😢

 

[Ags11]

800 - wow!

Local cute hoor told me septoria comes in can so when your spray it once you have to keep spraying
