2004 News Releases
September 2004 - Four Year Study Highlights Better Second Wheat Management Value. Optimising both drilling date and seed treatment can boost second and subsequent wheat yields by as much as 1.49 t/ha, according to the results of a four-year Allied Grain study published this week (September 8).
August 28, 2004 - Dalgety Trials Underline Major Gains from Better Second Wheat Management. Combining the right variety and seed treatment in second and subsequent wheats could be worth more than 2.5 t/ha even in a relatively low take-all risk situation, reveal the latest results from the annual series of Dalgety Throws Farm trials.
August 26, 2004 - Controlling Take-All in Continuous Wheat. Growers looking to maximise yields from growing wheat at risk of take-all can treat their seed with silthiofam (Latitude) without interfering with the process of take-all decline, according to new research into controlling the disease.
July 2004 - Quick Guide to Take-All Control Published. An 'at a glance' guide to take-all control, setting out all the information growers need to make the most of seed treatment in the coming season has been published by take-all specialists, Monsanto.
June 2004 - Proof of the Take-All Treatment Pudding. Specialist take-all seed treatment was hailed as a major breakthrough at its 2001 launch, but how has it actually performed in practice?
June 2004 - Learning Second Wheat Lessons in Kent. Growing second wheats successfully is a constant learning process, according to Roger Swayne, who manages Christopher Neame's Newlands Farm at Throwley near Faversham in Kent.
May 2004 - Second Wheats Repay Management Attention. Putting more management attention into second wheats will pay handsome dividends in the coming season, believes ProCam technical agronomist, Nick Myers, pointing to second wheats on many of their customer's farms comfortably out-performing first wheats on many others.
May 2004 - Two Year Study Highlights Recipe for Second Wheat Success. Second wheats can comfortably out-perform many first wheats provided they are managed correctly, according to a special study conducted by ProCam Agronomy with its powerful new 4cast crop management advice tool.
May 2004 - Wheat Growers Lose Over £5 Million Through Poor Take-All Control. UK cereal growers are losing over £5 million of profits this season by failing to treat second wheat crops at particular risk from take-all, according to the latest market research from the Masstock Group.
April 2004 - NIAB Root Assessments Confirm Early Take-All Build-Up. Warm, wet spring conditions appear to be encouraging the early build-up of take-all in wheat crops this season, according to initial assessments by NIAB at its Cambridge second wheat trials site.
April 2004 - National Wheat After Set Aside Study Highlights Need for Management Care. The majority of UK growers believe wheat after set aside needs to be treated more like a second than a first wheat and are selecting varieties with a track record of second wheat success for this rotational slot, as well as managing them carefully for take-all, in particular.
February 2004 - 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 improved yields and specific weights markedly for the second year in a row last season, according to comprehensive Allied Grain trials.
