Disease Update
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
All CropMonitor crops have now reached GS 37, and AICC members around
the country are reporting that ears are emerging on forward crops.
Flag-leaf sprays should be applied when the flag leaf has fully emerged
on main shoots.
Yellow Rust
Regional reports indicate that yellow rust is present in the East,
particularly in crops of Robigus where treatment was delayed. The
untreated CropMonitor Robigus crops are also showing signs of yellow
rust. At Terrington, yellow rust is starting to take hold, and at
Boxworth, is increasing on all leaves including eventual leaf 2.
Brown Rust
Regional reports indicate that Brown rust is almost absent in treated
crops. In the untreated Crop Monitor crops, Brown rust is present on
eventual leaf 4 of Robigus at Boxworth, and the odd spot is also
appearing in Solstice and Einstein at Terrington.
Septoria
Using weather data from 1 April to 15 May, the CropMonitor risk
prediction for Septoria tritici has now been updated.
