Disease resistance
Duxford has a good disease resistance profile.
Fungicide use
Always consult your agronomist and adapt programmes to local conditions.
Many winter wheat varieties face an added threat from the Solstice yellow rust race. Whilst Duxford is less susceptible to this new race than some varieties due to its parentage, this threat must still be taken into account along with Septoria tritici and brown rust. Use of a T0 fungicide is now of increased importance.
T0 – CHEROKEE 0.75-1.0 lt/ha
T1 – Amistar OPTI 1.25 lt/ha + triazole (three quarter rate) OR SEGURIS 0.75 lt/ha if disease risk is high OR CHEROKEE 1.75 lt/ha + eyespot/mildew active fungicide if there is a risk
T2 – SEGURIS 0.75-1.0 lt/ha
T3 – AMISTAR OPTI 0.75-1.0 lt/ha + Fusarium-active triazole
