Fungicide useAlways consult your agronomist and adapt programmes to local conditions.To enhance grain fill, yield potential and grain quality, SY Bamboo will benefit from a standard fungicideprogramme.T0 -T1 -T2 -Due to the early development of hybrids, trials have shown a yield response from the application offungicides at this time.The use of BONTIMA at T1 will provide clean, stress free lower green leaves to build yield potential.BONTIMA at T2 gives outstanding protection against disease for green leaf retention, securing yieldpotential and increasing quality by driving grain size and grain fill.CORE PROGRAMMET1 -BONTIMA 1.6 lt/haT2 -BONTIMA 1.6 lt/haBarley fungicide application timingsT1 GS30-31: 1.6 lt/haT2 GS39-49: 1.6 lt/haGrowth Stage 13 30 31 39455159 61Agronomic informationSY Bamboo has tall straw with excellent lodging resistance and early maturity.VarietyStraw length(cm)Ripening+/- PearlLodgingResistanceSY Bamboo 99 -1 7KWS Cassia 87 0 7Sequel 99 -2 6Source: HGCA Recommended List Trials Data 2012Growth habitOver Winter: Semi prostrateTillering Ability: MediumMaturity: Medium - Early

Recommended sowing ratesHybrid barley, as with other hybrid crops, is drilled at a lower seed rate to maximise the potential of hybridvigour, yield and grain quality.September October NovemberENGLAND 200 230 260SCOTLAND 200 230 N/AThe chart above should always be used in conjunction with thousand grain weight of the seed to calculate the seed rate.12117271Yield (t/ha)10709698687676 66160 180 200 220 240 260SP.WT (kg/hl)Source: Syngenta Hybrid SeedRate Trials 2009-12, (n=9), Lincs,Cambs, Scotland.

You must work with your agronomist when calculating nitrogenrates and timings, taking into consideration end market requirements and the fertility of the field.

PGRsHybrid barley is drilled at a low seed rate to achieve the full yield and grain quality potential.From GS30 onwards growth is rapid so the following PGR programmes are recommended:• GS30-31: MODDUS 0.1-0.2 lt/ha + chlormequat 1.2-1.5 lt/ha• GS37-39: ethephon + mepiquat 0.5-1.0 lt/haIn very fertile situations consider splitting the first dose of growth regulators:• GS29: MODDUS 0.1 lt/ha + chlormequat 1.2 lt/ha• GS31: MODDUS 0.1 lt/ha + chlormequat 1.2 lt/ha• GS37-39: ethephon + mepiquat 1.0 lt/haGrain qualitySY Bamboo has excellent grain quality including high specific weight and big, bold grain.VarietySpecific weight(kg/hl)Sieving(% retained 2.5 mm)Sieving(% retained 2.25 mm)SY Bamboo 69.0 6.9 1.6KWS Cassia 71.1 3.4 1.0Sequel 69.5 11 2.3Source: HGCA Recommended List Trials Data 2012SY Bamboo is available through Frontier AgriculturePlease contact Frontier Agriculture Ltd.www.frontierag.co.ukBerwick 01289 330303Perth 01738 500570Newmachar 01651 862408DisclaimerThe information given in this document is for general guidance only.
