Hi Will,
Yes, the RLEM is definitely making its presence felt around the place atm.
There is definitely something about healthy plants or plants growing in healthy soil that seems to impart red legged resistance as we commonly see healthy plants untouched while others in not such a good paddock are getting hammered.
The exact reason for this is…

Looks like getting those foliars out earlier gave the plants a good head start & stave off RELM, I got some out on a couple of paddocks at the same time as you and no sign of them whereas the other paddocks all have some to varying degrees, only got foliars on them last week – plants looking like they are going to grow through the damage though…

This is the Tow and Fert spraying out at Kate and Lloyds farm. Gets about a 8-10m width.

Hello All
Touch wood I’ve had no red legs (yet!!)
About 3-4 weeks after seeding (30 April) I put out the following mix
Per 500 litre tank load = covers 2-3ha with the Tow and Fert
Fish Hydrolysate 35 litres (brewed on farm)
JS mix 8kg (made on farm and ~8 months old)
Seaweed solid extract 850g (Soil Dynamics)
Fulvic Acid Powder 1.5kg…

At a guess I would go say 5 litres/ ha of each
It was in a John Kempf book that I don’t have on me currently

An update on where we are at with our multispecies paddocks .. germination was excellent, didn’t seem to be any ill effects from sitting in the ground for 6 weeks prior to the break. We have just done a foliar feed across all of the paddocks using the attached recipe plus added some of our Johnson Su compost extract (2kg/ha). The whole job was…

Hi Will, We have had some red legs in some of the paddocks we seeded to multi species.. in particular they were hammering the legumes & brassicas. Mark Tupman @mark suggested spraying out Magnesium Suplhate at a rate of 5 to 7kg/ha along with some molasses… our soils are quite deficient in magnesium & I think if my understanding is correct,…

I haven’t tried this but apparently a mix of milk and molasses diluted in water and sprayed out over the area might do the trick.
