🥃 Meet the Yorkshire farming family behind the successful Wold Top Brewery and Yorkshire’s first single-malt whisky distillery... @woldtopbrewery | @SpiritYorkshire

Musings from the field: #Frost damage on leaf 4 evident on the odd plant. #Aphid numbers on the up and fairly easily spotted. First signs of #yellowrust in the Zyatt. And upright nature of leaf emergence showing how easy #septoria can spread with direct contact. T1 applied today.

@Kathrynstyan @Warwickpestnews @ipm_tom Rustic moth potentially? Spotted one a couple days back hiding in some wheat.

Anyone know what this is? Found feeding inside wheat plant causing dead heart symptoms? @Warwickpestnews @ipm_tom ?

@WTaylor1158 Certainly one to think about, offers plenty protection making it suitable for T1 epessicaly this season when septoria pressure is significantly high. Just depends if growers are willing to use it 🤷‍♂️

@SamCollins2022 @Benn_Jagger @HLHNorthernTeam When does univoq come to the party????

Out today down on the Yorkshire wolds, dissecting wheat plants prior to T1. This year is certainly a one suited to septoria, significant symptoms on leaf 6 making fungicide choice crucial at T1 to help prevent the spread onto higher leaves. @Benn_Jagger @HLHNorthernTeam

Early April Update from our Helix Yorkshire Trial Site Ben Jagger and Sam Collins are on-site, checking crop growth stages in the wheat and barley plots, looking for disease and highlighting some of the varieties that are performing particularly well so far
