Fungicide use Always consult your agronomist and adapt programmes to local conditions. To enhance grain fill, yield potential and grain quality, Volume will benefit from a standard fungicide programme. T0 – Due to the early development of hybrids, trials have shown a yield response from the application of fungicides at this time.

BONT next g IMA ® is a ene fungic ration specifi ide, desig cally diseas ned for ec in barl ontrol ey.

T1 – The use of BONTIMA at T1 will provide clean, stress free lower green leaves to build yield potential. T2 – BONTIMA at T2 gives outstanding protection against disease for green leaf retention, securing yield potential and increasing quality by driving grain size and grain fill.

Nitrogen application Trials have shown that an early application of nitrogen will increase yield levels. Volume will need the same total dose of nitrogen as a conventional feed barley. In normal situations application of the total dose is recommended as follows: •

30% middle to end of February (GS25)

50% middle to end of March (GS30)

20% middle to end of April (GS32)

These figures are for guidance purposes only. You must work with your agronomist when calculating nitrogen rates and timings, taking into consideration end market requirements and the fertility of the field. You should also work within any Defra guidelines/restrictions. Early nitrogen application: NIAB/TAG support 8.0

PGRs Hybrid barley is drilled at a low seed rate to achieve the full yield and grain quality potential. From GS30 onwards growth is rapid so the following PGR programmes are recommended: •

GS30-31: MODDUS 0.1-0.2 lt/ha + chlormequat 1.0-1.25 lt/ha

GS37-39: ethephon + mepiquat 0.5-1.0 lt/ha

In very fertile situations consider splitting the first dose of growth regulators: •

GS29: MODDUS 0.1 lt/ha + chlormequat 1.25 lt/ha

GS31: MODDUS 0.1 lt/ha + chlormequat 1.25 lt/ha

GS37-39: ethephon + mepiquat 1.0 lt/ha
