Back to peas again, but maybe not too soon in the rotation?

Poopferbrains, I was thinking about the onslaught of group two on my farm too. We've been Odyssey users for years and now add in the active in products like Simplicity and Velocity and all their "relatives".... stacking is right! Time to throw some group ones back in for grass control in cereals. Never used Tribenuron preseed or fall, only back in the day I used Refine. ....so I guess I also used Thifensulfuron in the past too. But I am using way more group 2 now.

Definitely chemical damage will weaken a plant enough to make it allot more susceptible to disease.

Agree 100%

Problem is absolutely no one in the Ag Industry will admit it . It is so obvious, but they point fingers at rotation, weather , seed blah blah. They all know but will never admit that’s exactly what’s going on.
I have seen way too much proof to even argue the point anymore

There are peas here seeded on a two year rotation. Wheat / peas .... that’s it
Never had root rot .. ever
There are peas that had 3 inch’s more rain than ones with root rot , same seed , fert , rotation that are perfect .
I have seen this over and over here in this small area .... and absolutely none of it is what the “experts” say ... at all
I can drive 15 min in any direction of this farm and prove it .

There are two outlying factors to all of this root rot . Soil texture and herbicide. It’s herbicide residue cause huge issues in heavier soil textures.. that’s the issue

It will make you sick if you leave a check strip, you realize what you could of had for a crop. You can always look for a spot you may have missed but our equipment is so high tech not likey you will find one. Twice as tall and nice sark green plants with healthy roots. Nobody wants to point fingers at chemical companies in fear of a lawsuit. You need to just take a end cap off your boom and you will find enough white residue to stunt hundreds of acres. The guy with 2 sprayers has definitely figured it out.

Furrow, what are the people with the healthy pea crops in your area doing different? Additives? Herbicides? Field practices? Details please.

That’s the strange part , we ourselves have a perfect pea crop on one field, one that will be lucky to make an average crop. Everything identical but soil type . The good peas have had at least 50% more rain. Which is the evel bogey man Industry crutch for root rot

[furrowtickler]

Having one rain event after super dry May on June 9th should never ever cause root rot alone , it just is impossible. There are so many other things going on .
Since June 9/10th rains we never had a drop till last night ... and that was just a shower in the big picture at 2/10 on there

I think stainless steel tank and stainless steel booms helps a lot to have a good clean out job. I sprayed 1500 acres of pea after 2000 acres of Rexade and experienced no crop damage in peas. Rinsed with water, rinsed with ammonia, rinsed with water again twice, cleaned the bottom of filters....I think I got it all? Comments?
