Fusarium Arrived two weeks later than normal this year!

Does your wife drink roundup before she gets a yeast infection?


Fusarium in wheat is simply a different strain from the fusarium that makes your Mrs. Itchy... no link to glyphosate. Scab outbreaks have been ddocumented since the turn of the century.

So you ve studied your wife's itchiness? And you don t think it's roundup? And it happens every time there is fusarium? ...........I have to find my glasses and reread this thread.

In conclusion, keep spraying. Spray lots , spray hard. Buy a second sprayer to keep up with weeds and disease.
Look at SF3, up to 30% damage. He missed one extra fungicide application He's ****ed. His whole wheat crop, less yeild and probable down grade to feed. 3000 acres of feed wheat. Yuck! There is no money in that. That's a real money loser. It takes 3 years to recover from a hit like that.
Run to the store and get more spray. Hurry, act now, this offer has a limited time only.
There is no scientific correlation to glyphosate use and fusarium, there is no scientific correlation to glyphosate use and human health. It's all "hunches".

It would not surprise me one bit if there were either pathogens themselves or chemical effect to the growth of our crops found right in the herbicide we buy that cause des ease to the plants we want to grow. We did not have this much crap in all our crops years ago.

Has there ever been a Gov't funded study YET? On the occurrence of yeast infection in organic farmers wives to conventional farmers wives?

You maybe on to something!

On mine its seems to be about 5 to 10% loss. So compared to the guys who did nothing and have 30 to 50 I guess its worth it. But why after all these years in Canada haven't the powers that be helped develop a wheat that is resistant to it. Ah the chem companies make way more selling shit that's over priced that we drink like beer on a Saturday ok every day of the week.

For those linking use of glyphosphates to fusarium correlation is not causation!

We didn't spray any fungicides on wheat this year and there is not much fusarium. Found some in the outside round in the low areas but nothing in past 100ft. Think the grain sample will tell the real story. We are in the flood area as well. I'm starting to think were addicted to spraying.

[SASKFARMER3]

I would go check those fields again!

I know it sucks to spend all that money and find out that the crop still has problems.
