Regional Crop Report Eastern Counties,   1 June 2007
Winter Wheat
Comment on current growth stages Field conditions
Crops range from GS 51 to GS 61 (start of flowering). Typically GS 57-59 (Late ear emergence). Flag fungicides finished off 22nd -24th May(10 days late). Ear wash will start next week (weather permitting). 50 mm rain on 27th/28th May combined with strong winds have resulted in some lodging on early drilled wheat, particularly on fields which continued to grow during the spring drought.
Main diseases Present Level and comment
Brown Rust Still causing concern. Becoming obvious and beginning to develop on newer leaves of Alchemy, Robigus and Solstice.
Mildew Low levels on Einstein and developing in Robigus.
Septoria tritici Risk very high although still in latent period
Yellow Rust Trace levels on Robigus
