Jack & Sam on Tuesday the 14th of June went out to see the Elsoms & Saaten Union UK arable trials event. Most interested in seeing the treated and untreated plots of the AHDB Recommended List varieties. Some Group 1 varieties underperforming with brown and yellow rust taking over however, the new group 2 variety Mayflower looks like a possible candidate for milling with it’s high protein content & Hagberg Falling Number test scores as well as its agronomics… One to watch.
Its starting to look as if Spring has sprung, taken by one of our locals farmers over the weekend. Have you got what you need for the busy season ahead? If not talk to us for crop protection and seed! This season its more important than ever to plan ahead.
Within the UPL range of biostimulants are two that stand out from the rest.
The first is a laminarin based product, used at T0 to control Septoria tritici and Powdery mildew. The labels application rate is 1l/ha however from independent trials 0.75l/ha provides best value for control. The way the laminarin based product works is by eliciting the plants natural defence mechanism. The reason it must be used at T0 and no later is at this stage it can provide protection for the crop throughout all of the following growth stages. One of the most exciting features of this product is it has no known resistance.
The second is a product called Vitalroot, which improves both nutrient and water access as well as translocation. This means the crops have better uptake of nutrient and in times of high N prices could potentially lead to an increase in efficiency of N. The improvement in root mass is evident in the attached photos. This is also applied at T0.
For more information on our biostimulant range, don’t hesitate to get in contact.
