Unidentified (so far). Michael Trolove, a fellow geographer, advises: "Spraying crops, horticultural or agricultural is nearly a year round activity. October spraying Winter Wheat crops will include grass weed control, pre and post crop emergence, an insecticide to target aphids that spread the Barley yellow dwarf virus ( infects all cereals) A broad leaved weed spray and possibly a fungicide to prevent disease build up. Oil seed rape will have a similar regime using different chemistry and that's October. November sprays, mostly grass weed control in OSR December and January, not much crop spraying done."
