Tim Lamyman is consistently growing wheat crops yielding 15t/ha using a high-input, high-output system across a number of varieties on his Lincolnshire Wolds farm.His method of using high levels of nitrogen, micronutrients and fungicides has produced top yields of wheat varieties such as Theodore, Champion, Colosseum and Garibaldi.In a season when foliar disease arrived late in Mr Lamyman's wheat fields, fungicides were key in his three-pronged approach."If you drop one of these components — nitrogen, crop nutrition or fungicides - crops will suffer. This season, crops certainly needed the fungicide element and many who cut back on fungicides saw wheat flag leaves lost early," he says.
