In the Early Summer Outlook: Dry soil stress continues, especially in the east, cereals and maize are struggling and may be harvested earlier if conditions stay hot and dry. Several regions have received more frequent rainfall events, especially in the west, creating more favourable conditions for late blight in potatoes. Late-season sprays still key, with... Read more
There are essentially three main disease challenges in cereals at the T3 timing. Understanding which of these are relevant to your crop will be key to cost effective disease management and extending green leaf retention. Brown Rust Brown rust is typically associated with warm conditions at this time of year and current weather conditions are... Read more
T3. Tailor product choice to match your crop challenges.
Following the wet early spring, levels of Septoria are now high in many crops. NIAB long-term trials work indicates that 67% of fungicide response is delivered at the T2 timing and the flag leaf contributes to 40-45% of yield alone, so keeping the flag leaf clean is vital. Consider the strengths and weaknesses of key... Read more
T2. Reacting to the challenges of the season.
T1 timing is key for delivering effective disease control in cereals for the season ahead. It’s been a difficult season so far with a mild wet winter and only a brief cold snap in January. Field conditions vary widely across soil types and fields, but in general crops are starting to look greener after a... Read more
T1. Disease Control Planning.
T0 is the perfect time to set up season-long control of key diseases in wheat and barley. This spring, growers face a diverse range of crop situations, unlike last season, with increased variability in cropping due to later drilling and very wet autumn/winter field conditions. Where yield potential is already limited, growers should consider using... Read more
T0. Disease Control Starting Point - Clayton Cereal Fungicides
Warmer temperatures earlier in October and higher rainfall this autumn have led to high Phoma pressure. Crops that were drilled very early may be less susceptible, but Light leaf spot (LLS) pressure will be higher, so disease control measures may be needed for both diseases. Keep an eye on the size of these crops too... Read more

Flowering OSR.
Following the warm autumn, relatively mild winter and wet early spring conditions, levels of Chocolate spot being observed in-field are high and building. Early control will be key to managing this and it is inadvisable to wait until early flowering before making an intervention.

Clayton Mizen Variety List 2023 Clayton Mizuna Variety List 2023
Early ear emergence, rapid movement of foliar diseases up the plant and current grain prices all mean that an effective T3 application is crucial. Product choice should not only be focused on controlling the quality and yield losses from fusarium but also foliar disease top up which will depend on variety and previous fungicide applications. ...
