time to push for yield in 2012?
Higher grain prices create an opportunity for better margins in 2012 – provided that high yields (and where appropriate, good premiums) are produced.
However, these must be achieved in the face of significant and evolving disease threats.
In addition, with increased costs – such as fuel, fertiliser and certain machinery costs – the yield required to break even is increased.
this guide has been compiled based on research and Syngenta expertise to help maximise wheat yields and profitability through effective crop protection use.
at higher grain prices, results show the profit from additional fungicide investment (due to extra yield) shows a steeper increase.

yellow rust following a missed t0 CHerOKee
yellow rust• Over the last few years resistance ratings for several key
varieties have dropped (varieties can be susceptible to multiple races)
• With another new race reported in 2011, this adds further to risks
• a relatively narrow resistance gene pool is currently being used to breed varieties, this issue is set to remain for some time
• In 2011, a mild February encouraged yellow rust infection and t0/t1 responses were high – spread of disease was reduced where conditions later turned dry
• SDHIs were effective for disease control and yield, and SegUrIS gave excellent results
Oakley - essex
2011 underlined the importance of an early preventive approach to yellow rust control
3
Yellow rust
Up to 50% yield loss in trials
Brown rust
Up to 20% yield loss in trials
Septoria tritici
Up to 40% yield loss in trials
Brown rust• Disease races are a more complicated
picture for brown rust
• there have been changes in resistance ratings of varieties over recent seasons, and a new race has again been reported in 2011
• last season, late brown rust infection occurred into July, with resulting responses to aMIStar OPtI at t3
Septoria tritici• a lack of rainfall in april and May
resulted in low disease pressure in many places, however high disease levels were observed in the west of england, Scotland and Ireland following wetter conditions
• Data shows triazole performance has continued to slip against Septoria tritici as per the trend since the mid to late 1990s – with a higher dose needed to achieve the same level of control
• there is a clear need to protect triazoles by utilising new SDHI chemistry
• SDHI fungicides gave significant yield advantages under both low and high disease pressure

Septoria is the biggest threat. Yellow rust is a growing problem
Source: all Syngenta cereal fungicides trials 2002-2010
50% of varieties planted in 2012 are susceptible to yellow rust and with the discovery of a new race, the rust risk is increased. Septoria remains a key disease which must never be forgotten.
• High crop values mean there is a need to manage risk
• With new varieties yields have topped 13 t/ha in recommended list trials so the genetic potential is there
• Crops will need looking after:
- Increased disease pressure and lodging risk in thick crops
- Septoria always a key threat
- no new genetic resistance to rust and falling ratings – so the potential for yellow rust, in particular, remains high for many varieties, almost irrespective of where they are grown
• Use of new technology to drive yield forward and reduce the cost of production per tonne – e.g. new chemistry and precision farming – will be key for profitability
• Best results are achieved from preventive programmes – rather than trying to cure infected leaves
Planning for 2012

Rust risk in 2012 will depend on three key factors
Susceptible varieties...
already present.
approx. 50% of certified wheat seed sown in 2011 is estimated to be in yellow rust susceptible varieties, and approx. 80% is estimated to be in varieties susceptible to either yellow rust, brown rust, or both.
races able to infect those varieties..
Weather conditions during season...
already present.
yellow rust races which are virulent on popular varieties have been detected.
For brown rust, multiple varieties are susceptible to current races.
Unknown at present, but infections ‘explode’ rapidly in suitable conditions.
yellow rust was widespread in the autumn, further development will be influenced by spring temperatures, however the mild winter means the yellow rust risk is currently high and only prolonged frosts will reduce risks.

now with all-important proof of results on-farm, SegUrIS provides the advanced double binding properties of IZM – a new benz-pyrazole class of SDHI delivering potent and long-lasting protection for repeatedly high yield.
Double binding 1:
strong and durable binding to the leaf wax – longer-lasting protection
When a spore lands on the leaf, iZm is highly attracted to the precise target site within the fungus – effectively ‘seeking it out’ – before binding tightly to it and ‘switching off’ fungal energy production like a key in a lock
Double binding 2:
strong affinity (binding) to the pathogen – greater potency against Septoria and rust
After application, iZm moves rapidly from the spray droplet to become tightly bound into the leaf surface wax – providing a durable protective ‘barrier’ against disease attack
Proven to deliver in the field
the case for SegUrIS
• advanced co-formulation of IZM (isopyrazam) plus epoxiconazole
• Proven on-farm results with excellent feedback
• exceptional rust control and outstanding Septoria control
• Delivers Double Binding technology: binding strongly to the fungus – for powerful activity against rust and Septoria tritici – and also to the leaf wax – to provide long lasting, durable protection
• Delivers enhanced green leaf retention and repeatedly high yields
• Where high disease pressure was observed at the end of the season, SegUrIS continued to give excellent control
• the high loading of isopyrazam (SDHI) in SegUrIS delivers this long-lasting protection
9
spores coming into contact with iZm are killed before they even penetrate the leaf – collapsing as their energy production is rapidly blocked

Fungicides
Pre-stress conditioning – root enhancement and tiller management
• need a robust fungicide start for protection against yellow rust and Septoria to maximise yield potential.
• Prevention is better than cure. Once disease is established in the crop, you are chasing it all season.
• need to think about Septoria tritici resistance management, utilising different chemistry to produce a cost effective yield response.
Cyproconazole in CHerOKee provides both outstanding curativity on rust and protection of new growth against future yellow rust infection. the BraVO element delivers extra Septoria control for peace of mind that it’s ’job done’ at t0.
Following a very mild autumn crops are forward and looking lush. a robust Pgr programme will be important in the spring. a MODDUS application at t0 will help to increase rooting and manage tillering leading to improved water and nutrient uptake. the extra rooting also improves the plant’s ability to tolerate take-all.
the convenience of a single pack provides
• BraVO Weatherstik built-in
• High grammes of active of two triazoles
• Highly cost effective response – proven over a number of trials and years
• For increased rooting and tiller survival
• take-all tolerance
• Increases biomass and yield
• Only apply to actively growing, non-stressed crops

Agronomic information
as well as top yields, gallant is practical to grow – with good standing power and very early maturity.Agronomic informationAs well as top yields, Gallant is practical to grow – with good standing power and very early maturity.
Growth habitGallant is suitable for drilling from early September. It is a broad-leaved, semi-erect variety with low/moderate tillering ability. Gallant has proven to be competitive against black-grass. Trial results show higher Gallant seed rates and increased residual herbicide dose have a combined result for black-grass control.
Gallant is a relatively short-strawed variety with very early maturity (similar to Cordiale), helping to spread harvest workload and enabling growers to get their quality wheat harvested and in store as soon as possible.
Recommended sowing ratesSeed rates are dependent on soil conditions, rotation and time of drilling. The more difficult the environment, the higher the seed rate needs to be to compensate for potential plant loss. Increasing seed rates in high black-grass situations will have a beneficial effect. Suggested seed rates per square metre are shown below, these should always be used in conjunction with thousand grain weight.
September: 220-250 seeds/m2 October onwards: 250-300 seeds/m2
Nitrogen applicationGallant’s high yield means that extra nitrogen may be required to ensure that breadmaking specifications are met. It is an early-maturing variety. Gallant will reach GS37-39 before other Group 1 varieties, therefore final nitrogen applications need to be timed accordingly.
• Total application in the region of 240 kg/ha
This could be applied as follows:
• 25% at tillering • 50% at GS31-32 (but no later than 4 weeks after the first application) • 25% at GS37-39
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.

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.

Agronomic informationDuxford is a tall, very stiff variety with a maximum 9 rating for resistance to lodging (with a PGR). It is a late-maturing variety, with early spring development, and excellent resistance to sprouting.
Growth habit• Duxford is a medium to high-tillering variety with broad leaves and an erect growth habit
• Duxford is a fast-developing variety in the spring
• Suitable for drilling mid-September onwards for England and the end of September for northern England and Scotland
Recommended sowing ratesSeed rates are dependent on soil conditions, rotation and time of drilling. The more difficult the environment, the higher the seed rate needs to be to compensate for potential plant loss. Suggested seeds per square metre are shown below, these should always be used in conjunction with TGW.
• Mid-September to mid-October: 220-275 seeds/m2
• Mid-October onwards: 275-300 seeds/m2
Nitrogen applicationStandard nitrogen input programme for a feed variety, typically not exceeding 180 kgs N/ha. Duxford has early spring development so needs nitrogen early in the season to fuel its growth and maximise yield potential.
• 40% middle of March (GS25-29)
• 60% April (GS32)
These figures are for guidance purposes only. Although Duxford is a Group 4 variety it does have gristing potential, therefore N should be increased appropriately if growing for quality (for example, an extra 40-60 kg/ha at GS37-39). 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.
