2003 News Releases
September 2003 - Lincolnshire Barley Boost from Take-all Treatment. Pearl malting barley yields were boosted by more than 1 t/ha and quality substantially improved following a Lincolnshire farming company's decision to treat all autumn-sown seed for take-all last season.
September 2003 - Autumn Drought Demands Extra Take-All Care. The prolonged autumn drought means much of the 2004 UK wheat crop will require particularly careful take-all management this season, warns ProCam Agronomy.
September 2003 - Take-All Control Shows Its Value In Low Risk Wheat Trials. Highly economic responses to specialist take-all treatment have been recorded in national second wheat trials this season, despite very low recorded disease levels, a well-regarded second wheat variety and particularly high untreated yields.
September 2003 - Throws Farm Trials Pose Severe Second Wheat Test. Second wheat management has really been put to the test in Dalgety trials at Throws Farm in Essex over the past year in one of the most challenging local seasons for the crop in recent years.
September 2003 - First Wheat Take-All Trials Sounds Variety Warning. Many wheat varieties are unlikely to show a worthwhile response to a specialist take-all seed treatment when grown after a true cereal break, confirm the latest Allied Grain Fishers trials.
September 2003 - Earlier Second Wheat Drilling Extends Performance Advantage. Using careful take-all management to bring second wheat drilling forward by around three weeks to mid-September has improved yields and specific weights markedly for the second year in a row in comprehensive Allied Grain Fishers trials.
August 2003 - Harvest Highlights Huge Second Wheat Variability. Second wheat performance is exceptionally variable across the country this harvest, reports Masstock agronomist, David Vine. Some crops have delivered a very healthy 4.2 t/acre (10.4 t/ha) while others have struggled to reach 2.4 t/acre (6 t/ha).
August 2003 - Treatment Curbs Take-All. Take-all seed treatment Latitude is the focus of this week's article profiling leading arable inputs. (.pdf 139K)
August 2003 - Farm Trials Shed Light On Second Wheat Variability. Second wheat yield losses from take-all this season have been almost as high as last year despite very much lower apparent levels of root infection, according to the second year of farm trials undertaken by merchant, T. Denne & Sons.
August 2003 - Tackling Take-All With Joined-Up Management. Understanding the relative effects of different Take-all control measures and the interactions between them is essential in ensuring the most cost-effective second wheat management, according to Richard Overthrow of ARC.
August 2003 - Yorkshire Farming Business Tackles Take-All Challenge. Take-all seed treatment has helped the Yorkshire-based JSR Farming Group bring second wheat drilling forward closer to the optimum timing and significantly reduce the first wheat yield gap.
June 2003 - £34/Ha Margin Boost From Take-All Treatment In Independent Wheat Trials. Treating second wheats for Take-all as part of a standard fungicide programme boosted margins by an average of £34/ha at 2002 harvest prices in extensive trials undertaken by East Riding Crop Consultancy last season.
May 2003 - Free Whitehead Diagnostic Guide Published. An ease-to-use guide card has been published this season to help UK agronomists and growers pinpoint the cause of whiteheads in their wheat crops.
May 2003 - Dalgety Trials Highlight Early Variety Differences In Bad Take-All Year. With GS31 root assessments showing worrying levels of early Take-all damage in second wheats at Throws Farm, marked varietal differences are already becoming apparent in Dalgety's detailed trials.
