Over the last 28 days there have been invitations for spray operators to attend training events with regard to obtaining NRoSO points. Such training events focus on operator and environmental safety issues as well as obtaining the best from applied products such as fungicides.
Recently I to attended a training event hosted by ADAS. One of the topics on the agenda was that of disease control in cereals with particular reference being made to yellow rust. It has been stated that with the breakdown of the resistance gene YR15 “around 99%” of varieties are now susceptible to infection at a much greater level than we have ever previously witnessed.
To further understand the dilemma facing UK agriculture for 2026 I performed an Internet search to see what was topical on this subject. In my search and to my amusement I found a short video on youtube.
This two-minute video not only meets the festive spirit of December but also highlights good spray practice. It also provides revision on the subject of good spray operator procedures and control of this up-and-coming important disease.
Enjoy!
(Always read the label. Wear suitable protective clothing when handling chemicals.)
