Last night our new Canadian was going strong spaying up a storm till dark. Who is advising this guy really. Also funny a custom sprayer is out spraying all day till dusk yet his own farm he isn't spraying.
Round up does not work when the temp is plus 8 to minus 2 to 3 at night and its going to freeze for the next two nights.
Then these guys complain that the product didn't work.
Go seed spray before it comes up because you now have a three day extension to crop coming up as the seed will just sit their doing nothing at these temps.

I think we are at minus four. I would have a heart attack if i had canola up.

Dumb question what is crop insurance doing nowadays for re seeding?

I am being told Monday at the earliest.

Low here down to plus 1, high today forecast up to plus 9. Would think the radiant temp at ground/plant level should exceed 10 or even 12 out in the sun.

Would you spray today under those conditions? Working with either roundup or roundup/authority?

WOW, minus 10! Nuts. Is there any concern that the soil at seeding depth may freeze? Or that even un emerged seedlings could get zapped if they are just under the surface? Here, the soil temp is very cold still though, and if it has been seeded, I am sure it has more heat captured. - 10 is cold enough to freeze soil, no. That is crazy cold. It is -2 here. But cloudy. Kinda looking like snow actually.

Yup it's a concern alright , ground frozen hard

I dont know what the hell to do starring at my sprayer and no frost on windshield but enviro canada had us at minus four at five but I think they ****ed up and it's to wet to seed after the last shot

Global warming, where art thou? Not around here, for sure!

-6 with-10 wind chill at 6 AM must phone my sister in Edmonton and remind her that hell only froze over in Alberta not us too...

At these temps, why even put the seed in the ground? Wait till it warms up, spray, seed, crop will be up in 5. Why risk letting it lay there for 10 days?

No wheels turning here. Will wait a bit yet to start. Tired of spraying and seeding when the air temperature is the same as in the refrigerator or even the freezer!

I have sprayed lots of roundup at cold temps , always works . as long as tips don't freeze while your spraying . the reason you seed now is because you can't seed it all in one day

.......I don't know, ask Hobby.

The canola council has a good article on their website on frost/spray timing . Worth the read
