Oil seed rape, the crop which carpets much of Hertfordshire in yellow in the summer, suffers from a disease that affects yield known as phoma stem canker, predicted to spread as the climate warms with with more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. ❋ Unknown (2010)
A phoma spray has been applied, although Mr Barrett points out that there is very little disease in the crop to date. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Autumn fungicide treatments for phoma had little impact on light leaf spot. ❋ Unknown (2010)
"Walking these crops after the snow went showed the urgent need to apply the phoma spray, as the small rape plants have not grown away and are at risk of phoma." ❋ Unknown (2010)
As phoma took time to appear on small crops in the autumn, planned applications have not gone on because of the arrival of the poor weather. ❋ Unknown (2010)
These crops were all treated with a pre - emergence herbicide based on metazochlor, product choice being driven by weed spectrum, and they're about to receive a graminicide tank mixed with fungicide for phoma control. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Complications arise if any treatments are needed eg, for phoma. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Where herbicides are applied in the next couple of weeks, a second phoma fungicide will be included in the tank mix where re-infection has occurred. ❋ Unknown (2009)
I hope this will not prove too costly in terms of phoma levels as the season progresses. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Conversely, it is too late for a phoma fungicide and there are no signs of light leaf spot in this area. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Most crops have now received, or are about to receive, a graminicide to control volunteer cereals, and most will soon be getting the first of their autumn fungicides to control phoma. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Infection can be more damaging than phoma, he adds. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Slugs are obviously a great concern for the crop, but both downy mildew and phoma are other threats. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Fungicides targeted at sclerotinia will also protect against alternaria, botrytis and late phoma. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Some crops have received an autumn / winter fungicide to control phoma. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Oilseed rape has only low levels of phoma, but given the under-developed state of plants, a fungicide should be applied. ❋ Unknown (2009)
There is phoma around, but few crops are at threshold. ❋ Unknown (2009)
If conditions become favourable for phoma, great care will be needed to get the fungicide strategy right because the disease can be much more damaging to small plants than larger ones and there is a tighter window of application to stop stem canker developing later. ❋ Unknown (2009)
The most forward crops have a good, even population and up to six leaves, phoma is coming in and they are receiving a fungicide. ❋ Unknown (2009)
While most anti-phoma fungicides also control the disease, many went on some time ago and will have run out of steam, adds Mr Ashworth. ❋ Unknown (2009)
