Winter Wheat
Comment on current growth stages Field conditions
Crop growth stages variable, from GS 41 up to almost GS 59. 60 mm rain - and heavy, squally showers. Very little recent spray opportunity, and land now very soft. 90% T2's applied. Earliest soon ready for T3. Slight lodging.
Main diseases Present Level and comment
Brown Rust Not a problem so far.
Mildew Levels very low.
Septoria tritici It is reasserting itself now after heavy rain, especially where spray timings 'all to pot' because of difficult weather.
Yellow Rust Now present on some Robigus where spray timings inadequate. Some horrible YR seen today (31 May) on Robigus. One small missed area 60%+ leaf kill. Spasmodic pustules on other parts of crops. Spray timings not ideal because of rain. Will certainly need a T3.
Eyespot Very little seen.
