With many questions around resistance management and sustainable fungicide programmes, we caught up with BASF’s Steve Dennis for a quick update on Revysol®.

"It’s more important than ever to protect the chemistry that is available, applying it at the correct timing and at an appropriate dose is crucial." 🌱

🌱 Last week we brought the farm into the classroom, exploring links between food, farming and science. From seeds to crops, and thinking like farmers about weather and timing, children saw how much goes into our food.

Blackgrass is estimated to cost UK growers £400m per year.

@Rothamsted are looking for growers and agronomists to complete an anonymous survey on their experiences with blackgrass management - good and bad!

Using liquid fertiliser this season?

The risk of losing nitrogen as ammonia is highest when:

@dikesmarshfarm @bentd76 @BASFcropUK Thanks Richard, I’ll ask @planetclune to get in contact tomorrow.

There’s a couple of comments in our guide (pg 4) advising it’s due to urea absorbing moisture from the atmosphere. Please note Limus is absorbed by the granules so won’t affect efficacy.
