Strong variety genetics 🤝 #Revysol fungicide chemistry At this very moment, wheat is creating ~£38/ha in yield EVERY DAY that its canopy is kept green High septoria pressure example - KWS Extase, live from Herefordshire #RealResultsFarm Untreated vs Revystar XE-based program

I’ve just had my first email encouraging me to prepare for Christmas 2022. I enjoy the Christmas period but… Behave

@GarethBubb With guidance like he has give it time…5 YO Theo’s poem may be dramatically different!

@jon_helliwell Obviously Theo is the talented person in the Helliwell clan, bit disappointed there is no mention of a caramel cheesecake latte!

This guy 💙 For me, it’s what it’s all about. When trying for the best future, sometimes it’s good to be reminded to live in the moment. …I should probably also remind him at some point that his mum’s not too bad either…🤪

@Gilesy256 @scottmilne53 @AgronomistGrant It’s when Scottie tries to substitute it for bog roll that the situation turns particularly sticky

@scottmilne53 I hope you have stocked up? 😬

Clear differences here in the longveity of different products on keeping #Septoria at bay, which in mid-june could be very difficult to seperate out. Extending that GLA duration key to capturing as much of that yield building sunlight as possible. @BASFcropUK

@MurielleMoille All pictures are of Skyfall (3) The other variety where yellow rust is visual is KWS Kinetic (4), although at lower levels at this site - seems to be following RL ratings I wouldn’t say this is necessarily as clear cut everywhere though…

@jon_helliwell Which variety is that Jon?

A good time to look at T1 comparisons at Great Tew #RealResultsFarm. Crops look full of potential Septoria just starting to express on untreated leaf 2's? - one to watch with warming temps T1 4 weeks ago, YR only in 2/32 varieties here - strong levels of fungicide control

Great to see @rebecca_joynt + @ChloeMo95 discuss @ADASGroup #Revysol and #RevystarXE research with 2 scientific papers at the International Symposium for Crop Protection ✅Highest curative activity ✅Increased healthy area duration+yield ✅Strongest genetics, strongest chemistry

@Gilesy256 @cropwalkertim @GarethBubb @planetclune @BASFcropUK Other recollections may vary... Interesting to see you paying such close attention though 😉

I’ve really missed the buzz of discussion in trial plots, safety first 🙌 Explore 2020 learnings at 1 of the @BASFcropUK #RealResultsFarms, from a completely new perspective ✅Variety x fungicides ✅Septoria control ✅YR investigation ✅SDHI positioning basfrealresultsfarm.com/en_GB/zones/84…

@forestlens2 @planetclune @BASFcropUK I can see well enough to spot a Cornish scone...If you need help in your unreplicated trial, you know where I am!!

@planetclune @jon_helliwell @BASFcropUK I thought it was because he was visually impaired 😜

@bentd76 @dikesmarshfarm @vaderstad @grange_mac @soilhealthexprt @Rothamsted A good investigation Ben. @dikesmarshfarm is right..using simple sugar (glucose?) will proliferate very specific biological communities.Amazingly root exudates are variety specific, not just crop. Mimicking them is impossible, but you're one step closer 👍 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@dikesmarshfarm @vaderstad @grange_mac @soilhealthexprt So, used some work from @Rothamsted who measured sugar per m2 produced from plant roots, multiplied this up to hectare and then copied it for an accurate rate. Trial results have been more than conclusive - feel free to drop by the rip and drip open day in Tewkesbury on 3rd Sept

Converted ⁦@vaderstad⁩ top down with ⁦@grange_mac⁩ low disturbance legs and now rip and drip technology. Why apply more biology when that identified just needs waking and feeding? #ripanddrip #feedyourownlivestock

A great chat with Dr Julie Smith @ADASGroup and Bill Angus, discussing varietal genetics, innovations, chemistry, and planning strategies for 2021 onwards. "Chemistry protects genetics, and genetics protects chemistry" Well worth a watch if you missed the original event 👍

Great to be able to get back out into trials very recently 🙌 Quick update from Great Tew - yellow rust has been a big challenge all season, but really strong levels of control achievable Septoria levels now 💥 following the recent rain...Another year to test product longevity 👍

@Mike__Abram @Bayer4CropsUK All the best with your new venture Mike 👍

One of those personal announcements: Today is my last day working for @Bayer4CropsUK after 8 years. I’m heading off on garden leave (seems appropriate since that’s about as far as I can go!) for a month setting up as a freelance journalist / communications professional.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

@scottmilne53 Scott Milne....tweeting about rugby.... 😯

What a weekend Aberdeen 3 v 1 Hibs and Scotland 28 v 17 France if carlsberg did weekends #standfree

@Gilesy256 @scott_cockburn Probably one of your cleaner google searches!

"It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade." Here's to hoping that the skies stay blue 🙌🏻

@scott_cockburn 😉

@jon_helliwell Almost poetic Jon!
