Strong crop establishment last autumn and a mild winter mean many cereal crops may require early protection this season. 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝟬 Early protection is crucial for safeguarding yield potential, especially in crops more vulnerable to Yellow rust. Secondary protection against Septoria is advisable where risk is elevated. Early rust control at T0 has... Read more
T0 - The Ideal Starting Point for Disease Control in Cereals
With many Oilseed Rape crops developing rapidly after favourable autumn conditions, planning stem extension fungicide applications could be vital this spring. Early spring is a key timing to assess Light Leaf Spot (LLS) risk, particularly in forward crops, to help protect yield and manage canopy structure. As crops reach mid-calf height, LLS risk increases, highlighting... Read more
