fungicide time

[sawfly]

just got back from the tour.
peas look great.
good land viper , some areas
a little stunted, root rot?
i was going to say that they have looked as good or better than most peas around. ( wish i could say that about my canola and wheat)

but mine are on wheat stubble ,

most around are on canola stubble.
Difference?

other field sandy loam to beach sand
L and M crop insurance,
authority and assure, may be the best
crop on that land ever.
no assure damage.

a lot can go wrong between now and the bin. esp with peas

Whats everyone think of the producer article i think it was this week saying dont spray your wheat with fungicide?

[Hopperbin]

Furrow is it illegal to say what chemical? Cotton sounds like maybe I wrote it. But no. What did it say?

[Hopperbin]

No peas on canola stubble here anymore. Been there done that. Does not work.

Hopper - I'm guessing he is referring to heat damaging the peas. I disagree with him and believe farmers are looking for a reason or don't understand anphomyces. Hope I am proved wrong as this area will have a hard time growing many acres of peas if that disease gets or has as much of a foot hold as it looks like.

[saskcanfarmer]

Guess I should clarify. Heat the pre seed herbicide from BASF

Sask can - no excuses - and I fully understand the disease - I can prove my 'theory' 100% if you want to buzz over anytime this week - it's called sprayer misses - dead or 2 1/2 foot tall perfect peas . Until you see it first hand please don't say I don't understand or looking for excuses - you know where I live I will be there from 6 am till noon the rest of the week - I will show you first hand , you will change your attitude very quickly

[riders2010]

so does spray stress bring on that disease? because two different farmers after spraying assure their peas look like they have disease and both have sprayer misses and peas are at least a foot taller and dark green in the missed areas. Is it possible surfactant stress?

[greybeard]

How much do you think fungicide can increase your yield on a crappy looking crop?
10% , 50%, 200%?
Fungus grows under a heavy canopy. Spray if that is a problem.

Keep connecting the dots - DYODD - to all..
This is much bigger than you think and we are going to shell out $30000 to prove it in our case
As applied GPS maps and overlays will prove us right .
Again look for sprayer misses - overlap - and over app on inside corners
Sometimes it not a sprayer miss - edge of fields around sloughs , tree lines
In our case the chemistry is tied to soil type and timeing - as proven by an Austrailian Lable for the exact same chemistry in he exact same crop - it's on their label - but not in Canada - yet
Again DYODD

[saskcanfarmer]

I hope you're right. I know you will do your homework. No doubt about that. So your theory is that the herbicide damage is causing the peas to look the way they are and not the soil disease? Or the herbicide is compounding or "aiding" the disease? I will have to take a look at the Australian label.
