He addresses the decline of fertiliser prices.

The article states all crops have received their first sprays and look good. The retriever winter barley has really benefited from the nitrogen and sulphur it received in March. The sprayer will be back in the field before the second week of April applying the crop's first fungicide. It will be a Proline + Jenton + Bravo mix to control mildew and rhynchosporium. It is hoped that the weather relents and the crop gets sprayed at the right timing.

This article reports that early application of T0 fungicide could benefit winter barley growers in high rhynchosporium-pressure areas, according to the Scottish Agricultural College's (SAC) Simon Oxley. Four years of SAC trials over a range of disease pressure sites found an average 0.3 tons per hectare (t/ha) benefit from an early T0 spray applied at growth stage 25. What is more, with higher grain prices, the value of this extra yield more than covered the fungicide cost, he said.
