“I take pleasure in this good area that you’ve grown, Mr. Rabotov!” With these phrases Svetlozar Dragushev turned to the host of the occasion on BASF „Open area day“. The working assembly between farmers and specialists from BASF was held on the farm of the grain producer and chairman of the Union of Grain Producers from Plovdiv Ludmil Rabotov. Representatives of Semenarska kashta Sadovo, whose selection “Teres” was within the area close to the city of Rakovski, additionally took half.
Todor Manilov, technical specialist for Southern Bulgaria, instructed
when, with what merchandise and beneath what climatic scenario the wheat crop was handled.
Already in the course of November final yr (two weeks after sowing), the soil herbicide Pontos was imported.
Manure was utilized to the sector, unfold earlier than sowing. As a result of predecessor rapeseed, self-sowing was additionally anticipated, and from the weeds – shepherd’s purse and ryegrass and others, Manilov identified.
The applying of Pontos soil enabled the crop to start out away from weeds already in its autumn vegetation.
Through the spring vegetation, two mixtures of fungicides had been utilized. The primary remedy was carried out on April 5 earlier than the drought. The second – on Could 8. In each circumstances, fungicides had been used preventively.
Within the final ten days of Could, the wheat within the area shaped massive grains, was free from illness and in the absolute best situation.
In distinction to the handled crop, the untreated management suffered from flagellar septorosis.
Todor Manilov drew consideration to a few components that have an effect on the phytosanitary image of the sector if plant safety isn’t utilized. These are weather conditions, varietal sensitivity and infestations in earlier years. In accordance with his observations, this spring, septoriosis is a pathogen that first appeared within the Yambol and Burgas areas, then in different places. Each brown rust and yellow rust are more and more widespread within the space. Every of the talked about ailments, along with the seen indicators on the leaves, considerably impacts the yield.
Within the final phases, together with the fungicides, the wheat can be sprayed with an insecticide.
The mixtures which have been utilized to the wheat area are:
First mixture : Revistar® Flex (first remedy) and Daxer® (second), the soil herbicide Pontos – in autumn and the herbicide Biathlon® within the spring.
Secondit is a mixture: Daxer® as the primary fungicide and Priaxor® because the second, the herbicide safety is from Pontos – after sowing earlier than germination soil, and Biathlon® utilized in the course of the spring vegetation.
Varban Varbanov, regional gross sales supervisor of BASF for South Bulgaria, drew consideration to
the motion of Priaxor®.
This fungicide is continually growing the areas on which it’s utilized in southern Bulgaria. In accordance with knowledge from the analysis firm Kintek, Priaxor is fungicide No. 1 in Southern Bulgaria, not solely amongst BASF fungicides, however amongst all SDHI containing grain merchandise.
“This yr is the yr folks attempt to save – generic mixtures are being tried, in addition to decreased variety of therapies. The outcomes of the financial savings might be seen at harvest”he continued. “If the yields are decrease in comparison with the earlier two years, then this may be attributed each to the dry spring and to a low class of safety. If the variations in common yields from this yr and the earlier two years are drastic, farmers ought to make a superb evaluation of whether or not, by way of the financial system within the funding in crop well being, they aren’t shedding extra by way of decreased infections and poor vitamin of the yield class.
In no case ought to cash be wasted, however my life has confirmed each professionally and personally that when an individual finds the stability in smart investing, he achieves the golden rule during which he ought to neither interact in pointless overspending nor skimp on well being.”
BASF’s regional supervisor stated crops ought to be monitored till harvest and fungicides ought to be utilized to their full potential.
“I prefer it
the idea of the German soccer crew,
that till the final minute the sport should be intense and of top of the range. There are statistics that for German soccer gamers, the simplest and fruitful time is within the final 10 minutes. Whereas the entire world says: “The sport is over”, they focus when others have relaxed and understand each alternative till the final minute. Agriculture is identical in my view. We have now to take care till the final days of the rising season. I don’t suggest that we spray every week earlier than the tip of the vegetation, however that now we have taken under consideration that the final safety is so distributed in time that it protects the sowing till harvest”stated Varbanov.
Todor Manilov paid consideration to
the distinctive Sistiva® product,
which is utilized with the seeds. “Farmers do not have a look at what number of grams of lively substance there are per liter of product. There are 333 grams per liter in Sistiva®, which is a really excessive focus for a product unit. Because the plant begins to develop within the preliminary phenophases, it accumulates little by little this fungicide. Because of the truth that the lively substance xemium is extraordinarily cellular, Sistiva is transferred to the brand new progress. In barley, the fungicide works completely properly towards pathogens, particularly internet spot.”
Varban Varbanov added that Sistiva is extraordinarily handy for no-till know-how, as a result of there farmers sow with small sowing charges and this fungicide safety know-how offers them the chance to make use of the best class of fungicide at a really low value per hectare. As a result of it’s seed-applied, slightly than machine-applied, Sistiva’s value per acre is decrease than even essentially the most economical fungicides. Vegetation and root safety have an especially robust impact from the autumn, defending the crop till the early spring months.
The regional supervisor didn’t fail to tell that the farmers even have
one other week or two interval to make use of the expansion regulator and fungicide for sunflower Architect.
“It shortens the internodes, pulls the crop down. This results in using much less vitamins and fewer organic export, makes crops more healthy, and gives illness prevention. It’s typically utilized on the third pair of leaves – that is one of the best section. And in subsequent phases it may be utilized, already regulating solely the remainder of the sunflower that can develop after the second of utility. Its fungicidal motion stays stronger for the higher components of the plant.”
After mid-June, fungicide safety in sunflower could be carried out with the newest technology fungicide on this crop – REVIDAS from BASF. With REVIDAS, the corporate enhances the alternatives for farmers to develop sunflowers in an impeccable phytosanitary situation, in addition to to realize the utmost yield potential for every of the chosen hybrids.
For his half, Ludmil Rabotov shared that yearly he crops Bulgarian choice seeds on 25-30% of the areas. He praised the forms of Semenarska kashta Sadovo. “Through the years now we have partnered, we’re glad. that
Bulgarian wheat is of the best high quality, there may be nothing to cover.
The yields are slightly decrease, however in 2016 I had a median yield of 750 kg on any such area. I proceed to have a look at Bulgarian varieties and I can’t give them up anytime quickly, as a result of they’re tailored to our circumstances.”
Svetlozar Dragushev, a companion within the seed home, commented on the Teres selection, quoting the corporate’s breeder Assoc. Marcheva: “I attempted to create one thing that farmers need: A pleasant large spiked class with a lot of heavy grains, brief crops with a stunning grassy colour and a range that’s tolerant of a wide range of pathogens. Plastic, with an excellent yield and with great baking qualities. There are few such fields in southern Bulgaria, no matter the truth that it was a troublesome yr.”
