Anyone use Headline on their flax crop this year? Second year in a row the harvested sample will be light weight and look like shit. I was stupid enough to use last years seed(that looked crappy and light) for this years production and you can guess the results of that without an appication of fungicide. I don't think I will be able to grow flax without a fungicide application in the future unless it gets droughted out. Articles I have read claim it is seed and residue borne and that some varities are more susceptible than others.
Hopefully others can learn from this post if I am too stupid to not heed the dangers of knowingly using infected seed and not apply the fungicide. I am sure the cost of the fungicide would have easily been recovered if the crop was treated. (Also, Headline cost is reduced with use of certain other BASF products)
