Fungicides..

Better have fungicides in your shed ready to go. They will be hard to find now.

Does anyone know if this stuff goes bad overtime,i
got a few jugs left over from a few years back.

[furrowtickler]

Shake er up, should be good to go

Heat next week will start the fire so to speak IMO

Rep said supplies are tight.

I am organic, but in the winter I had read a
NorthnDakota State University test results that
showed a very substantial increase in winter
wheat yeild after fungicide application. I can't
remember exactly the increase but it was
something like 20%. It was enough increase to
hurt my feelings knowing I could not use it!

Do you guys ever notice the results of all the "extras" you can put on a crop and do the average.

I went to a retailer's meeting with all the chem reps there and they all presented crops that did better.

Some did as much as 20 bpa better but on average it was a 4-5 bpa increase.

To average 4-5 better when some went 20 better there still had to be some negative to zero numbers to average down with. Those fields were never shown in the pictures.

Just like driving past belle plaine yesterday. It got seeded but it was a lake on the way home. It had the potential for 60 bpa but there was alot of lost acres in 3-4 hours. Overall the bpa on what they seeded on some fields will be 30bpa now. Just simple math.

And mother nature still has the final say.

BTW there is a new "root rot" in peas now that has no treatment. The agrologist said the guy treated the peas with apronmax and still can't stop "Aphanomyces"

[furrowtickler]

No doubt there is some of that bucket you are right. But the last two years fungicides made us at least $85/net across the board with peas/wht/canola. If it stays too wet, ya it may stay in the shed but if it does not and weather turns favorable you will loose much more than you think if not sprayed with fungicide, in this area anyway.

Which fungicides is everyone using on cereals? I have used headline, tilt, folicur and prosaro in the past and not real sure that the higher end products paid for me. I live in an area that mentions traces of Fusarium on grain grades in the fall, but no enough to down grade. Usually grow cereal, pea, cereal, canola rotation, so no heavy residue issues from prior year.

Last year saw 8 bushel improvement in fungicide treated wheat and in the previous 3 years no difference in yield.

Is Folicur at early heading at the 54 acre rate good enough, or generic tilt?

Seen some inconclusive results from the WAG or WGA trials. In one year there was a 30% yield reduction in wheat at Scott, Sask by spraying fungicide.

Too bad we dont have access to 3-4 dollar per acre generic folicur like they do in ND i doubt the will run out either.

[Klause]

We do generic tilt 50% rate on everything with herby...
if needed, full rate at flag.

Oats has high disease pressure already!

[SASKFARMER3]

Tilt at half with herb. Now will watch at flag. Late
hrs will get full tilt and then maybe Prosario if we
turn hot and humid. If your hrs is already sick your
year is done if it keeps raining. Pouring money on
a sick crop in the flood zone is a waste.

Speaking of the generic Folicur, there is a generic
offered by Mana in North Dakota for $2-$4 per
acre. (Depending on who you talk to.)

It sounds like Bayer has done all it could (and
succeeded) to keep the Mana Orius product out of
Canada for a while yet. Talk to a MANA rep for
details.

Has anyone ever took out a GROU permit to bring
in chemical from the US?
