Heat or no Heat

[farmaholic]

I would agree furrow. Just the way we've been treated for being vocal and relaying some "uncomfortable thruths", you have to wonder.

Regarding chemicals, a person almost doesn't want to use them after reading the labels. Like fungicides in cereals for example.

Tom's challenge with RRs

Being taken off or put on lists.

Keep it general, Sir!!!

Furrow no problem, just let me think the best way to give you my contact info. I like keeping my stealthy appearance.

Unfortunately your right Farma - getting to a point where you don't dare to think for yourself , or god forbid, share observations .
BTW - thanks breadwinner for sharing your observations .

Breadwinner - do you follow the combine forum ?

lol, j/k man!

I sprayed heat/glyph on half of my peas this year, after seeding and a day before emergence. There was zero visual difference, and we got piles of rain after spraying.

Deep black, clay loam soil. WET conditions. Ruts at spraying time, sloshing water at spraying time. Followed by more rain which hurt the peas. Higher spots went 50 plus, lower spots went 0 to 10. Average 27. At least half of the crop was drowned nearly completely.

I say the above, just because maybe different soils act differently, etc. Without the drowning, it was a great crop. Chest high in the non drowned regions of the field.

I have used heat a fair amount prior to canary mainly. I use the high rate for enhanced cleaver/volunteer canola residual. Works great for that. Canary stays very clean up to in crop.

I do wonder about soil conditions/texture etc. I forget if they have stipulations on the label or not??? Ie. organic matter, texture etc.?

[furrowtickler]

Nothing on soil texture , O.M. , soil fertility Or PH at this time that I've seen .
It would be interesting to see trials on that .

I also seen Group 2 injury to cereals last year. Delayed later cereals by at least two weeks. It was pretty widespread in east central sask last year. I know of a guy that had 3000 acres of Barley hurt and was going after Dow. Not sure how he made out.

Sorry Furrow don't use combine forum, Do you know freewheat?

[MBgrower]

Rain after application causes crop injury. I dont use the stuff.

Prepass causes injury if your spray after seeding just before emergence. It cost about 15 bus per acre in wheat and delayed harvest by a week.

Forgot to mention all the damage by these chemicals when Liberty chemical cleans out your sprayer tank and you spray it on canola. Or odyssey on peas. the merge seem to lift the chemical from the tank and booms no matter how well it rinsed.
