July 2005 - First-ever HGCA Recommended List Site Take-all Tracking Highlights Disease Developement Pattern. Take-all reached damaging levels at nine out of the 10 HGCA Recommended List second cereal trial sites this season, according to the first-ever monitoring of the disease in these trials.
July 2005 - Earliness Pays With Second Wheats. Earlier drilling combined with specialist seed treatment and better all-round agronomy have lifted second wheat yields to an average 4.0 t/acre (9.9 t/ha) at Busby House Farm, Stokesley on the Cleveland plain just outside Middlesbrough.

July 2005 - Succeeding With Second Wheats in Practice. Second wheats can consistently yield 10 t/ha if managed correctly - even on light land with a history of take-all problems - to deliver handsome returns which more than justify their continued place in post-CAP reform rotations.
July 2005 - Comprehensive Five-Year Study Shows Consistent Take-All Control Value.
