Teagasc held the first in a series of Crop Agronomy Webinars this week looking at different crops through the season. Presented by Ciaran Collins, the Question and Answer sessions from the webinar are worth listening to again as there is a lot of useful information which will help with your agronomy decisions over the next number of weeks.

On the Q&A, Dr Stephen Kildea, Teagasc, Oakpark, talked about yellow rust control in winter wheat and the necessity of early control in susceptible varieties. However Stephen also pointed out that this may make septoria control more difficult later in the season.

Veronica Nyhan, a tillage advisor in Laois, talked about herbicide resistance and how a farmer can rotate crops and herbicides to reduce the potential of resistance developing on farm.

Plus there were other contributions from panellists on a wide range of agronomy issues including trace elements and wild oats control.
