Wheat Disease Control

This season, the relentless wet weather coupled with mild winter temperatures has not only produced a high level of Septoria inoculum in the lower canopy, but there is also plenty of yellow and brown rust about.

Correct timing of T1s has been challenging, due to weather windows and variable crop growth stages, resulting in a compromised application for many. T2 will see a need for a proven broad-spectrum fungicide with strong protectant and curative activity.

Delivering robust Septoria, yellow rust and brown rust control, and proven over multiple high-pressure seasons, Revystar^® XE is the T2 choice you can rely on.

Why Revystar XE is well suited to T2 this spring?

Revystar XE at 1.0 l/ha is proven over several seasons and offers the broadest spectrum of disease control at T2, including strong curative and protectant activity against Septoria
Revystar XE has strong activity on brown rust and will protect against this disease well at T2. Where brown rust is established and sporulating, growers may need to add additional tebuconazole for rapid knockdown
Revystar XE is supported down to 100 l/ha water volume and offers excellent tank mix compatibility and rainfastness, helping to ease pressure on workloads
Revysol is the only effective azole for the control of Septoria and is key to a resistance management programme

Protecting yield potential at T2 this challenging season

FW, May 2024

When it comes to 2024’s disease control, rain has caused a cascade of challenges. Back in the autumn, saturated soils meant drilling dates went awry, and this spring we’ve seen many missed T0s and compromised T1s.

Key considerations for T1 applications this spring

Farmers Weekly, Apr 2024

With jobs backing up on farm, disease levels rising and many planned T0 applications still in the shed, T1 fungicide decisions will be key this year.

Keep an eye out for eyespot

A&AF, Mar 2024

Eyespot is a common soil-borne disease in intensive cereal rotations and as wet weather aids its early development, the high rainfall that crops have experienced so far this season makes it a disease worth checking for this spring.

Spring 2024

After such a challenging start to the season, we caught up with some Real Results growers to see how things are looking on farm, to learn more about their disease control strategy and to find out their thoughts on Revyso®l and Revystar® XE.

On Farm with Scott Campbell

Scott Campbell is the 4th generation of Campbells farming at Kirkton of Kinellar in Aberdeenshire, where he farms the 415ha arable enterprise of winter wheat, winter oilseed rape, winter oats and spring barley in partnership with his father and uncle.

On Farm with Steve Crayston

Steve’s family farm is in North Essex in the small village of Pebmarsh. The land lies in two separate blocks, eight miles apart and totalling 1,000ha. Soils are medium to heavy and winter wheat is established by direct drilling.

On Farm with Richard Budd

Richard Budd farms at Stevens Farm Hawkhurst Ltd in Kent where the team operate 1400 hectares of arable crops, 100 hectares of fruit and 100 hectares of grass. The rotation is mainly made up of winter crops.

REVYSTORIES

Over the last couple of years, we’ve had the pleasure to find out more about some of our Real Results Circle growers’ farming experiences and their stories of using Revystar XE. Explore the map and pages below to find out more.

Pat Thornton Revystory

Pat Thornton farms in partnership with his father at Low Melwood, in the Trent valley in North Lincolnshire. Everything they grow on the 150-ha farm goes through the combine; winter beans for seed, wheat for seed and feed and barley, winter, and spring, is for feed too.

Hannah Darby's Revystory

Hannah farms the family farm with her uncle and is a fourth-generation farmer. Farming is Hannah’s second career, as prior to farming she was a physiotherapist. She did a degree in physiotherapy and practiced until 2013, when she realized that she missed farming and so decided to go back and study again, doing a Masters in arable crop management at Writtle College.

Mike Hambly's Revystory

Mike grew up on the family farm and after gaining a degree in Agriculture at Harper Adams in 1985, he worked in a number of roles within the arable sector before returning to the farm, which he now runs with his wife. He has a wealth of technical industry knowledge, built up from some 21 years working in the supply trade, agronomy, and the grain division of Cornwall Farmers (now part of Countrywide Farmers).

Toby Hogsbjerg's Revystory

Toby grew up on a farm in Suffolk and after attending Harper Adams and gaining an HND (Agric) started his career with Broadoak/Coop Farms in Norfolk where he specialised in root crop production. He is now back in Norfolk again, manager of the Wicken Farms Company, a job which he started in autumn 2018. In the intervening years he has managed farms in the south of England, specialising in growing root crops and potatoes and a move across the water to Southern Ireland saw him involved in growing onions as well as root crops.

Tim Lamyman's Revystory

There are farmers whose names are synonymous with high yielding wheat crops – Mike Solari, Eric Watson and Tim Lamyman. Mike and Eric farm in New Zealand, where their soils are deep in a country that routinely irrigates its cereal crops. In sharp contrast, Tim farms Worlaby Farm on the Lincolnshire Wolds near Horncastle.

Scott Campbell Revystory

Scott Campbell is the 4th generation of Campbells farming at Kirkton of Kinellar in Aberdeenshire, the main steading on the 415 ha arable cropping enterprise. The business is split into three roughly similar sized holdings and farmed in partnership with his father and uncle.

Richard Budd's Revystory

Richard has been back on the family farm for 10 years, having gained a degree in Botany at Nottingham University and working in London as a wine broker, specialising in private client investment portfolios. The rotation at Hawkhurst is based on winter wheat, followed by winter or spring barley (depending on black-grass levels) then OSR, followed by winter wheat, second wheat and oats (again winter or spring depending on the black grass).

Steve Crayston's Revystory

Steve farms two separate blocks totalling 1,000ha in north Essex. His business is as diverse as his crop rotation which includes echium as well as the more usual arable crops of wheat, spring oats, maize and sugar beet.
