interesting... oats

[Hopperbin]

Klause did you not have one planted early and one late. One stayed green. The heavy apeared thinner Stand. What about your etherel app. Justgood to have all the details.

Hopper,

These trials are on the late seeded. The early was standard treatment... and yield suffered from that first hail storm.


The whole field got Ethrel. Half got top dressed the other half got all at once.

Yup you could see the line down the field for maturity. The west half was top dressed.

As far as seeding date and yeild - 9 times out of ten the best canola in this area is seeded before the 20th of May .
Actualy all crops for the highest yield an best quality are generally seeded before the long weekend in May
But like anywhere - there is the odd exception that happens .

I've seen similar results from top dress and ESN. Shorter thinner crop with more and heavier seeds. 64# wheat, 56# canola. Oats this year ran 160 by volume will be close to 200 on weight. 60# of N, twinline at flag planted the last week of may. If fertilizer is cheap and conditions good I prefer ESN. If it's late, wet, dry, expensive I prefer UAN with a splash of sulfur at elongation. I'm keeping an eye on some foliar products, mixed results but they show promise if they get there price in line.

Ado we are using 5 lbs actual S when top dressing as a poor man's Agrotain....


Also old manitoba trick spraying liquid S on peas works wonders

[ado089]

Krause, we gave our peas a shot of thiosul with herbicide, they still sucked. Wanna look onto what micro facilitate nodulation a little closer.

Klause at flowering or seperate from fungicide time - if you do fungicide .
I have tried sulfur (1-2ltr/ac) with the 28 and viper - works very good , but woundering if the S is better at fungicide time ?

[Hopperbin]

Klause you have 30 acres of that quarter done with one pass up the center. Perhaps an interesting oats report would be better after your done the field just my opinion.

Hopper - I understand you and Klause are kinda buddies but holy crap you're hard on the guy! Haha

Quarter is cut in half n/s. We did back first. Trials need to be replicates to make any sense
