Cornish grower hits top wheat yield without fungicioles

摘要

Ahigh-input strategy for crop pro-tection products is generally essential in order to hit top yields inVhigh-disease-pressure situations, but one grower has set out to prove this doesnot have to be the case.This season, disillusioned with this high-input, high-output strategy, Cornish grower NickDymond trialled growing a crop of winterwheat with zero chemicals, and achieved 9.2t/ha - just shy of the yield “ceiling" in the areadue to septoria pressure.
