Switch focus to disease control as weather warms

摘要

Disease control in thin winter cereals this late spring will be top priority once the weather warms up as growers try and maximise yields from backward crops. The level of disease is generally low, but with warmer temperatures forecast for next week,at long last, crops could start growing rapidly and so could disease. "This is a year to throw the calendar out of the window as when things warm up crops could go quickly through their growth stages," says marketing and technical director Tony John at adviser ProCam.
