spray prices

blue5000

There seems to be a bit of variation in fungicide prices round the country at present. Maybe people could post up exactly what product, what they are paying, where it's at and whether it's a cash or credit price and with/without VAT. Thanks in advance

Herbicide and fungicide for spring oats varied in price from 53 per acre to 36 per acre!
Clearly i used the cheaper version and the crop is flying it! Amazed at the price variation
though! I paid cash for all cant imagine the lads who are signing for all from their merchent and not bothering pricing around! Profit well and truly down for those dudes

Mcpa 50 10 liter's for €30 cash and if you buy enough he can be convinced to throw in a few cans of wetting agent for free

Apologises in advance blue if you meant this to be a cereal sprays only price tread....

but has anyone bought or priced Eagle this year for spraying docks in grassland?

I have aftergrass to do shortly but am afraid to price, well over the €100 anyways I'd say.... and I'I need at least 2 of them

Oh and does anyone know if it's too late to use the likes of legumex on a reseed that was done 2 years ago?

Thanks!

I use a boy that I rarely ask the price of most things as he knows if he does me over once he can whistle a tune, get the full copy of the bill on final payment and then got through prices. Works for me but thats for a decent enough quantity of spray. Have used such a diverse range of products on all crops this year I couldn't give a per acre price yet as more product will be needed. Its sure being a high use chemical year unfortunately.

Roundup 360 e23.99 for a 5 litres at beattys loughrea .... Seems cheap as 120 euro for 20ltrs of roundup biactive in co-op but is 360 a weaker solution ?

360 is just plain glyphosate with no additives.biactive has wetters etc. to aid uptake and improve kill. if you have any problem with hard/limy water my advice would be to use the biactive. hard water plays havoc with roundup.if your water wont be a problem you should try one of the generic products. think some of them can be bought for 50 euro plus vat for 20l.

Using rain water or water from a bog to fill the sprayer is another way around the hard water problem.
