Frost Damage

[Guest]

Your wishes have been granted. You don't have to worry about frost if you had to reseed your frost damage crops. The week ahead looks to be very hot and dry with several days well over 10 degrees warmer than normal. It will be a sad week for those who didn't get as much rain as they needed.

Some farmers still seemed confused over the concept of climate versus weather. But on a site where wacky covid vaccines conspiracies are taken seriously by a few posters, don't expect a rational discussion about science.

Prior to the internet I always wondered who purchased and read all those supermarket tabloids? In some cases it must have been the parents of some frequent posters on Agrisilly.

Well I am reseeding canola cause the germ was about 5 % , not bad for the price , eh?
Oh, And I am very worried about a fall frost
Are you for real ? Really?

Ya we have . I know it’s not ideal but it does work fine
Soil samples and tissue samples at full cabbage seen little difference between any N
NH3 was consistently slightly better but stabilizer is not cheap and neither is hours spent on tractor in fall .
We found what works best for us is put on 80% or so in fall then add after crop is established anc you know what you got .
Streaming on liquid N is fast with sprayer and accurate with auto shut off and sectional control

Balancing the eggs in the basket I guess

Any reason you broadcast N in fall vs spring?

Several actually
1 . time , generally more time , not as rushed
2 . Field finish , no ruts , floaters can be efficient as well by going straight through and shutting off in low spots . Spring floating leaves ruts and that’s not great for direct seeding with planter .
3 . Cool soil temperatures in fall , with stabilizers help minimize any loss
4 . Virtually guaranteed to get get snow cover and moisture to take N in

Again it’s not ideal but it works if planned out right.
I would like to put more down at planting time as it’s more efficient to plant . But not nearly as efficient on time in a small seeding window .
This is our 5 th year with the Horsch , still learning and trying new things .


This field had N floated last fall and then we deep banded 35 lbs P on the right .
Planter depth way more consistent in standing stubble , less frost damage on the banded side .
Way less weed competition on the standing stubble .
Establishment was way better on the standing stubble side due to soil moisture at seeding .
So at seeding time the standing stubble was preferred as dry as it was . By the end of May and 4 frosts the banded side had the edge but dried out . Now ??? We will see lol
Both are ok for establishment now

Same thing N application.
