Wheat Bulb Fly - Plant Invasion
The weather this week is becoming warmer, which will both accelerate egg hatch and encourage the start of plant invasion.
Wheat Bulb Fly Egg Hatch is underway
Egg hatch is now underway in East Anglia and Lincolnshire. Risk assessments for individual fields should be carried out on the basis of locality,
previous cropping, drilling date, plant population, tillering and soil type in order to identify those fields most at risk. When using Cyren please abide by the guidelines set out by the ’Say No To Drift’ campaign.
Decisions for T2 1/2 Spray!
Following the T1 spray, some advisors have opted to miss the standard T2 timing of GS39 due to little or no apparent disease, and are instead opting for a combined flag leaf and ear wash combination. This will be the last opportunity to apply a fungicide in these crops.

Wheat Bulb Fly, Plant Invasion
Plant Invasion has begun in East Anglia. Due to the highest egg numbers for about seven years, combined with ever changing weather conditions, the control of Wheat Bulb Fly this season will be important. Some egg-hatch sprays have been applied, but the overall threat to many crops means they will require monitoring and subsequent treatment.

Wheat Bulb Fly Egg-Hatch Sprays
Egg populations counts under taken in autumn 2010 indicated the highest proportion of sites above threshold (250 eggs/m2) since 2004 and the fourth highest since monitoring began in 1984. Close attention will need to be paid to the timing of egg hatch sprays this season, with increased risk to crops from higher egg numbers.
Adjuvants - uncovering the magic behind the myth...
Adjuvants are often referred to as ‘muck and magic' or ‘snake oils‘, but according to Charlie Bannister, technical manager for Foliar Nutrients at Headland Agrochemicals, much of this lies behind the fact that adjuvants are generally not well understood.

Applying micronutrients such as magnesium and sulphur may protect crop yield potential
Balancing Crops Nutrition Will See Growers Get More From Less
This years Oxford Farming Conference highlighted the dilemma facing arable farmers in the UK: we need to produce more, but by using less. But the discussions also highlighted various means by which crop production could be enhanced by adopting some new approaches.
