Is anyone spraying yet?

At Walkover I'm dealing with landscape people all over the UK, I discuss local weather with customers over the phone. I would recommend a rule of thumb not to bother spraying when air temperature is less than 10 degrees C. Also, keep an eye on the weather forecast for at least one week ahead. If it looks bad, hold off spraying.

    We've seen weeds emerging during the last few weeks that are at a stage where we and clients feel the need to act.

    Down South we've had a very, very mild but wet winter, so we have just started to spray last week (and for the first time we are also using the Nomix CDA lance method).

    A couple of members have been discussing just this situation here 

  • This last year I have lost 1 full days work due to weather conditions.
    If I went of the Met office forecasts I would be bankrupt, never leave the house
    Were was the Arctic conditions snow blizzards etc. we were told we were getting Xmas time.
    Good job I did not go out and buy a snow plough.
    The best way to decide how the weather will effect your work is to get up in a morning walk out the door and take it from there.

    It also helps to use good products, especially 'total' pesticides that are rain fast with an hour or two.

    It allows you to take advantage of short 'windows' of opportunities, even if it does consequently take longer to be effective.
