Disease control to date has generally been good, but this is a high disease year so the risk of septoria and/or rusts coming back in late is high. Where SDHI chemistry has been used at T2 I will be using either epoxiconazole or prothiconazole-based T3 to ensure that we stay on top of the septoria. The real debate will be what to partner with it, as harvest is still a long way off. Where we haven’t already had two applications with a strobilurin, either azoxystrobin or pyraclastrobin would be the obvious choices... read more
