podstick

[tmyrfield]

My canola is all stages and was wondering if anyone try podstick. thought I'd try spray it on to let late stuff ripen a bit and keep early stuff from shelling. Anybody ever try it?

Hasn't that ship sailed and sunk?

Then I thought they refloated the product with another purpose.... anyone?

Keep spraying, spray lots and spray often.

Recommended water: 40-50 US gallons/acre. Lol.

Amazing what they won't try to sell us. Seen alot of heavy crops today on my way to Humboldt that the product wouldn't even get to alot of the pods.

Hobbit, I know a guy that will have sprayed the same quarter seven times this year if he does a post harvest yet. Seven times. I don't even like spraying, let alot seven times in one season on the same field

Talk about hauling water.

tmyfield,

Watch the 'heated' seed that turns up when long standing straight cut canola is harvested. The rain seems to break down the seed worse when standing... get heated Canola seed straight off the combine and it has never seen a bin. Have seen this on 3 years... over 10 years of straight cutting Canola. Usually under half percent... but don't be surprised if they nail you.

I gotta know, farma. What did they spray for seven times?

[TOM4CWB]

Easy,

Burnoff last fall.

Preseed burnoff;

2 apps of herbicide after seeding;

Flea beetles/cutworms,

2 fungicide

Diamondback Berthas...

Wow, there would be nothing left of the crop but weeds and bugs!

[farmaholic]

Damn a light went on in my head!!!....I apologize for the misleading water volumes. Its 16-21 US gpa. 150-200 liters/ha. I needed to finish the conversion from hectares to acres.

Freewheat. That is what the local retailer was saying. What I remember: it was a pea crop.
1) preseed burn off
2) centurian for wild oats that came early
3) viper
4) fungicide
5) insectide for aphids
6) desiccation
7) possible post harvest because its early with lots of aftergrowth potential.

Go Riders...."one" of these times.

You mean "podseal?
Apparently it does a great job sealing the pod but the pods just fall right off so...ya.
Not personal experience, just word on the street.

[Klause]

Don't need it just straight cut it.


If it's knitted together you'll have minimal shatter.

[MBgrower]

standing canola crop can surprisingly take a lot of wind. id say takes 60-70 kph wind storms better than swathed canola. more guys moving to straight cut here, works well, needs to be desiccated though. .

podseal doesn't work as already mentioned.

[TOM4CWB]

We had worst shatter when it got windy during long rainy spell for 3 days... the pods unzipped in the wetness. 15bu/ac on the ground.

The way the buyers are going dedicating will be a thing of the past. Not sure why farmers can't see this coming and still douse the crops 10 days before combining
