This hungry queen #bumblebee certainly appreciates the hard work gone into establishing and keeping this #OSR crop alive. An early source of #nectar for important #pollinators@BASFcropUK
Musings from the field: #Frost damage on leaf 4 evident on the odd plant. #Aphid numbers on the up and fairly easily spotted. First signs of #yellowrust in the Zyatt. And upright nature of leaf emergence showing how easy #septoria can spread with direct contact. T1 applied today.
@SamHugill2@SammyersAg To echo Sam's comment here's an example from last year. The stressed brome was carrying lots of mildew and so was the adjacent wheat crop.
From well tillered over wintered #ryegrass
to fresh spring germinators it’s easy to see why it can be such a problematic grass weed.
#luximo keeping plots impressively clean vs UT in our #Cheshire trial site. @BASFcropUK
Normal service has resumed rain wise down at our Rawcliffe Bridge #Realresults farm. Unsuprisingly KWS Extase the most forward of the varieties but only 30-40% leaf 4 emerged in this crop drilled Mid September. @BASFcropUK
With half the average rainfall in April and June + hot windy days, drought stress very evident down at our #Realresultsfarm at Rawcliffe bridge . Benefits above disease control exhibited in quite a few varieties. UT vs #Revystar T1/T2. @BASFcropUK some coping better than others.
Come say hello over the next two days at the @dkbcrop Open Day on the 28th/29th June and learn more about #Luximo our brand new mode of action grass weed active for this autumn @BASFcropUK
@sc_pearceseeds@planetclune@BASFcropUK Just the T3 Prothio ear wash gone on recently Simon, no T0. So in terms of YR really putting that T1/T2 chemistry to the test!
#Revystar T1 fb T2 looking good keeping out #yellowrust in #zyatt and #skyfall at our #realresultsfarm
Tight timings which haven’t been easy this season with wind and rain limiting spray days. Pressure still there so T3 crucial in prolonging yield protection. @BASFcropUK
