Clayton Plant Protection Limited

Rising farm input cost findings highlight the need to utilise cost-effective crop protection chemistry this season. AHDB have recently reported 43% increases in input costs for arable and mixed farms based primarily on sharp rises in costs for fuels, machinery and fertilisers. According to research carried out by the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board between December 2019 and May 2024, the significant increases in farm input costs were calculated based on typical costs incurred by farms and have changed in line with inflation. Clayton would encourage visitors at this year’s CropTec Show to come to stand 2.300 and talk to the Clayton team about their crop protection product choices this coming spring. Clayton has a wide selection of reliable, cost-effective herbicides and fungicides available for use in different crops, including #Cereals, #OSR, #Potatoes, #Pulses, #Maize and #Grassland. These products can form the basis or platform for effective weed and disease control this spring whilst helping to optimise cost inputs for growers at the same time to help returns. The Clayton team look forward to welcoming visitors to their stand (Stand No. 2.300) on Wednesday 27th and Thursday 28th November. We can’t wait to see you there. #CropProtection #CropTec24

𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁-𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗶𝗻 𝗢𝗦𝗥 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗺𝗻. With many different pressures, protecting #oilseed rape crops in the autumn is vital. Clayton can provide a wide choice of #fungicides for early disease control in the critical autumn window as young crops are establishing. Achieving good crop establishment to maximise yields relies on effective, early-season control of problem diseases like Light leaf spot and Phoma. Using reliable, high-performance formulations will help growers minimise the damaging impact of early disease infection in crops, which can be especially important in crops which have suffered or just grown away from Flea beetle damage. 🎯 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀: As two of the most damaging diseases in autumn-sown crops, closely monitor Phoma and Light leaf spot for spray thresholds in the September to October period and treat where required using broad-spectrum protective, systemic fungicides with straight or co-formulated options. The Phoma treatment threshold is when 10-20% of plants are infected (use lower threshold on more susceptible varieties and/or where plants are small) and the Light leaf spot treatment threshold is as soon as infection is seen (and confirmed). ℹ Growers looking to find out more information about our autumn oilseed rape fungicides can find helpful information in our autumn product guide below.

🥔 After some periods of very conducive weather conditions and recent temperature ranges, reports of #PotatoBlight outbreaks are now increasing across the UK. Growers are advised to respond with robust blight control strategies and pay careful attention to protecting tubers from the high risk of infective blight spores. Keeping up a strong programme with different actives to maintain blight-free foliage is now vital for protecting tubers and yields, especially in crops where planting was later this season. 🌟 Clayton Linaxo™ is ideal for tank-mixing with other blight actives to protect tuber yields.
