fungicide time

[TOM4CWB]

We have peas on both wheat and LL canola stubble

No differences
4' tall. Close by same pes on wht stubble... 1' and really ugly root rot Chem damage.

Carry over Chem?

Sprayer cleaned out right?

Rotation?

Priaxor on friday.

Viper with heat burnoff.

Folks who sprayed herbicide when it was cool (5 at night, 12/14 day) really cooked their peas.

Must wait 3 days after cool weather or the pea can't metabolites the herbicide.

Tough year to get timing right.

Never a dull moment!!!

Cheers

Do you remember Spray Air sprayers? When we had one, we believed that fungicide does a better job by the increased air pressure of the air forcing the chemical under tha canopy and onto the lentil stems. Peas should not be much different. Do you think that todays ground sprayers achieve that?

Most farmers don't understand fungicides. The article in the WEstern producer explains that.
The attitude put it on it works and don't check is out their big time.
Most fungicide heads to Alberta and West sask. Their warehouses are full. Talk to any one in the chem industry. Then their are shortages in the east because the West has all the chemicals. In reality unless your in a rainfall area like ours where its is 250% above average your wasting your money.
Yes all our wheat is hit at flag with a fungicide even in a shit year like this. But if the weather stays the same as forecast for the next 10 days Putting on Canola is a waste of time.
For HRS coming back to help with fusarium also is a waste now. Boys were in the middle of July count the days down, Sorry to tell you time is running out of the hour glass very fast on this crop.
Delaying a crop maybe isn't the best option in 2014.

We had no Viper "flashing" at all - sprayed at least 5 days from that cool night, 2 here
The damage is from the pre burn - as evident from the misses at pre burn time that were sprayed with viper later and the peas are perfect is those areas.
Again when you see it first hand it is stunning.
On one half north of the yard I had a nozzle not working on my out side round at pre burn . Perfect green strip of peas.

No burn-off on garden peas and all are capoot. I thought Round up is neutralized by the soil did I get your drift. No pun intended.

fungicide usually no brainer...on complete crop. Will help good parts but too much lost. Go fishing. Its a crop insurance year.

[SASKFARMER3]

I'm done spraying in two days, oats and better cSnola fields again and that's it fishing here we come!

[farmaholic]

Do we spray fungicides because its warranted or because its fashionable. If they're used with impunity, we may end up with resistance issues liks group 1s. Their cost should discourage unnecessary over use.

[furrowtickler]

Only when conditions are favourable and the crop is heavy and time permits .
Most farmers who dis spraying fungicide are too worried about being at lake

I thought like you Furrow, thought it was overkill. I was taken up in a plane and saw for myself last year after being told that if you see the crop from the air, the unsprayed is brown underneath. After that, I had the plane spray half my wheat after it was headed out. The wheat that I had the plane spray versus that left unsprayed, well, I can say, I'm convinced. It ripened evenly and outyielded the other side by approx. 12 bus per acre and my fungicide got on later than it should have. Guess everyone decides for themselves.
