UPL UK Team Technical

We will be soon be closing this account. Please follow us here ➡ @UPL_UK to keep updated on our technical and seasonal information 🚜🌱

Team Technical are on hand to help to answer all your BioControl questions raised in our #Biocontrol Hub. #ChangeTheGame @UPL_UK @CropTecShow

We haven't seen this type of forecast for a while! A long awaited dry spell ahead will hopefully give some a chance to pursue incomplete weed control. Though be careful with frosts. @UPL_UK

Early drilling & mild weather means crops are at risk from both #blackgrass & #BYDV. If Tsum is reached an insecticide appliction should be considered with a post emergence herbicide. Top-ups should contain an alternative MOA such as ethofumesate to best manage resistance.#XERTON

With high #WBF egg counts recorded at some @ADASGroup monitoring sites in East Anglia, Signal 300EC will be a key tool in managing this pest. Don't forget second wheats following gappy wheat crops can also be under threat. #OpenAg

Team Technical are proud to support #BackBritishFarming Day. We think British farmers do an amazing job and we are privileged to be part of this exciting industry!

Team Technical’s herbicide lead @robadamson1 was in some rather large OSR yesterday. At 5 true leaves already, #CenturionMax should be applied sooner rather than later to early drilled and rapidly growing crops like these. Remember to follow the #clethodimstewardship.

Really interesting work from @AHDB_Potatoes showing how important #FAZOR is as the starting point for sprout control. Orange oil is an exciting in-store option Team Technical are working on as our post CIPC strategy, currently registered in Ireland. #OpenAg

We've had reports of grain contamination with #ergot, favoured by cool, wet conditions at flowering of later sown crops. If home-saving seed, ensure it's treated with an azole seed treatment such as #RanconaiMIX to aid control by reducing germination of sclerotia after drilling.

Rain is flushing cereal volunteers in established OSR crops. Don't to forget these should be controlled prior to an application of #CenturionMax in order to optimise blackgrass control. Panarex or Rango is the perfect choice to stop these cereal volunteers from competing. #OpenAg

We couldn't agree more. Here's a snap at one of our trials last year showing SYLAS-ST giving the crop a real head start. #OSR

We've recently registered ARGOS in Ireland. For details on this new in-store sprout surpressant, Team Technical's @pendergrast_don is on hand to answer all your questions about this new technology. #OpenAg

With rain stopping play for many, the decision to drill oilseed rape is playing on many peoples mind. Team Technical's @robadamson1 discusses the challenge we face and how to give the crop a fighting chance using biolologicals. upl-ltd.com/uk/news-details/… #OpenAg

As drills emerge from the shed we have to ensure OSR is given a fighting chance. Biological seed treatments can help, SYLAS-ST speeds up germination &improves water mangement in the plant. Giving some reassurance if moisture levels are variable. @DaltonSeeds @OpenfieldTM #OpenAg

Who needs Team Technical when we have decision support tools like this!? #Fazor #OpenAg

Considering variety choice and ordering seed? With many crops this autumn being drilled after fallow, there is likely increased pressue from soil borne pests such as wireworm & bulb fly. Whatever the variety, ensure it is treated approppriately. #Signal300 #ZoneOfProtection

Protecting beneficials by using biological insecticides such as Carpovirusine, and providing insect refuges such as these, is a perfect way to implement IPM in orchards. #OpenAg @AgrovistaFruit

With hot weather forecast this week, don't forget that maleic hydrazide relies on open stomata to be most effective and can cause damage when applied at temperatures above 26 degrees. Choose your Fazor spray timings wisely to get the best out of the active. #FazeOutTheCompetition

As harvest approaches fast, don't forget to get grainstores cleaned. Talisma EC gives a wide spectrum of efficacy on grainstore pests including mites. When you don't know how long you'll be storing grain for,the best insurance policy is a product with optimum persistency.
