Invigor

[vvalk]

Anyone else noticing this year that invigor doesn't seam as good as the RR? At least in our area it's very noticeable. Even on irrigation. Flowered from a third to half the time. Podding zone is much smaller. Only the yield monitor will show but something isn't right.

Have talked with at least 4-5 neighbours who have noticed the same thing. Even had some comment without asking about it

Is it a any one variety? Or just invigor in general?

[vvalk]

So far most would be 252

Do you have both rr and invigor on your farm? Will be interesting to see how it plays out after harvest. Keep us posted

Invigor has problems the rr was better till last weeks hail storm now it shut down even with a cocktail! 252 don't like rain

Invigor varieties always look terrible in S.MB. they dont like excess moisture, heat and humidity, they do better in the central and northern prairies. I think you guys in sk had a typical s.mb summer this year and your invigors are showing it. The clearfields and rr's always look better here and can beat invigors yields.

Clean stalks



She's checking for schlerotinia.

I grew L-241-C. Neighbor across the road grew 45H33 pioneer. His grew taller with a longer podding area. The pods on the invigor are about twice as long. Both have flowered for a month and are shutting down now. He used Lance and I used Proline. Both crops look good. I suspect he used more N but I can't prove it. Both look good hope we avoid hail.

Seen a few 45H33 signs up around here. If I was Pioneer I would be embarrassed the 45H33 looks pathetic. But they have the formula down pat. Steal your name from a 100 yr old plus grain co and trademark it. Pay some farmer to claim his crop ran 100 verified on your wagon, then pay Western Producer to run the story front page. Bam generates a couple 100 million in sales very next year.

I hate to admit it, but after a nasty rain/hail/wind storm this afternoon knocked many petals off, I can see that my Invigors are starting to slow down while the Pioneer RR's are showing no signs of slowing down. But the Invigors got off to a much faster start in the dry conditions than the RR, so maybe this is why. I'm 6'4, finding some 45H29 as tall as I am, and still clusters of buds up there. Invigors, between shirt pocket and chin height. Now if only height equalled yield. Every year so far, the Invigors flower substantially longer than any Dekalb's I've tried.
