Cheers lad.That is a mint spraying outfit
I think it's only precaution than anything. With the wet and then the cold I'd say aphids are low at the moment.Are aphids an issue with crops emerging now do ye think ? Iv given non of my winter crops an aphicide (or any spray) but reality is I’d do a serious amount of harm with a tractor and sprayer now in most of it
I was all set to spray them myself but I've changed my mind since. It's been cold out the last couple of nights around here.Are aphids an issue with crops emerging now do ye think ?

Absolutely. Laying down the law from the start. Zero tolerance is the only approach.Does this qualify for management of constraints?......

No actually was very dry. Dry as I have seen it ina long time. There a hole in the lane going in to the field that were that came fromDid you meet a wet spot somewhere on the way!!
Grand day for the job.
Could you find any aphidsSprayed mintilled W.W. with Stomp aqua and Karate Zeon.
According to Syngenta's app it should not be done, but the app is one size fits all and very conservative.

I found a good few on Wednesday, I think it was, especially where there are volunteer beans growing.Could you find any aphids
Not finding any here and reports are numbers are very low, but it’s field by field decision and if you find them then it’s an easier decision to make than throwing it because it’s cheap or your passing throughI found a good few on Wednesday, I think it was, especially where there are volunteer beans growing.
That field was sprayed with Glypho pre-harvest, then 1 run of the Karat the day before it was sown, there are spots where you can't see the wheat because of the Vol. beans, Ideal for aphids.Not finding any here and reports are numbers are very low, but it’s field by field decision and if you find them then it’s an easier decision to make than throwing it because it’s cheap or your passing through
If you use an aphicide and no aphids present you have killed all your beneficials and left your self wide open
I’m expecting pre Xmas to have cold snaps and hopefully keep numbers low while beneficials build . If we get continued mild spell numbers may build and it may necessitate it but that could be January
Early sown field has passed threshold but no aphidsThat field was sprayed with Glypho pre-harvest, then 1 run of the Karat the day before it was sown, there are spots where you can't see the wheat because of the Vol. beans, Ideal for aphids.
I'm not sure I like the App, no account of anything other than sowing date and weather.
Did the maize stalks cos any issue?Friend of mine sowing winter wheat after maize Friday. Fields were disced and then sown. The 3m outfit on the 724 was the one sowing but pottinger sent out a 4m outfit on their 828. Was busy that day so didn’t get up to see them sowing

Have heard Dff is good on meadow grass but you would want on before or just as you see tramlines for it to be effective.Oh ok. That was my reasoning for a bit extra DFF. I thought I had heard or read it was good on AMG. Thanks G. You've saved me doing harm probably and wasting money .
The crows didn’t seem to give you any trouble there G. We have wheat at about the same stage and the crows have given it a fair rooting.Hopefully another day or so and they will be gone out of it.
We sowed 24ha in that farm and a neighbour sowed an adjoining field of approx. 20ha the same time, dilution seems the best defence.The crows didn’t seem to give you any trouble there G.
