Regional Crop Report East Midlands,   25 May 2007
Winter Wheat
Comment on current growth stages Field conditions
Forward crops have ears well emerged and later crops have ears 25%+ out. Generally crops look well, but any very late drilled, some second wheat and some on very light soils have been affected first by wet winter and then drought in spring; reducing tiller numbers and height. Mid September crops look well and have put on a spurt of growth recently Fine weather all week has allowed spraying to get up to date and all T2 sprays finished this week.
Main diseases Present Level and comment
Brown Rust Not a problem so far.
Mildew Levels very low.
Septoria tritici Most crops clean down to leaf 4.
Yellow Rust May need T3 on Robigus if pressure arises again.
