Smoke - act a a fungicide or insecticide?

[Rareearth]

Just wondering if the smoke helps in any way with crop production?

Don't know, but havn't seen a mosquito in a week or so.

We still have them as our sloughs have not dried up yet from spring runoff. A big difference from 2002.
If they do dry up... then watch the temps shoot up through the 33C... which was like 02 at 37C for days in July 02 here.

I think smoke almost universally keeps insect activity down. More so flying insects. I doubt the fungus cares

Interestingly I see the smoke is actually causing trouble all the way down to Oklahoma and Even to St louis!

I see it is 2C in Westlock this morning at 4am... the smoke must cause cold temps!

The smoke is keeping it from freezing , plus 2 here

2 degrees is like putting left overs in the fridge over night. Save the crop for another day.

What leftovers? Lol.

2C at 2M off the ground means... a touch of frost in some low areas. 2002, recall peas and canola being smoked July 23. The Mighty Peace got the worst of that mess.

Smoke is buying us more time to get a good rain.

Well I will gladly send you my allotment be a use I do not want rain.

It's way past helping and just adding repair bills if I am forced to combine.

It's a no win situation here.

October rains are a different story if that's what you mean.

Smoke - act of prestige and well-being! I understand that it sounds weird, but from the other hand, do you really think that it's okay to tell such things about smoking? I mean, people, you are driving cars, you are paying bills for electricity and water, do you really think that it comes from nothing? Everything pollutes our atmosphere, so let's be serious here! Do you want to smoke? Go and get yourself a pipe from a place like https://pipesarsenal.com vape and smoking shop and don’t give a heck about what other people will say. It’s your life, and it’s not a very long live, so live it the way you want to!

Looking back we have had way more near misses and frosts in the summer months by far than hot weather . Interesting to look back .
