Diamond backs

We've found taking out a piece of white board into the field and cutting the stems above the leaves and banging on the board gives you much better indication of where the bugs are. Then bang out the leaf portion after to give your total count. You lose so much taking handul back to the truck and banging on the hood.

From what I can see last few days try to use coragen (seems in short supply) and leave the decis/matador in the retailers shed. We applied ours at 60 ml rate and seems to be working good. Last tank going on this morning. Could have done heavier rate for longer residual but first time using it so was skeptical.

Very good advice Herc. 👍

how important is time of day.
those were late evening counts,
tires are 380 s.
think the plane is 11-12 $ so maybe it almost pays

Jag those pics remind me of swathing short season canola , 30- 40 years ago , with the worms 2 inches thick on cutter bar
the worms built up on the rollers, stopping the canvas, you had to pull handfuls from under the canvas. as the
100s above your head on the reel crawled down your neck

You have 30.4" of straight line tire trample / 1440 inches of boom = .0211 loss. With headlands, turning and extra damage probably 2.5% crop loss is a good figure if your fields are relatively square and wide open. If your expecting a $500 an acre return your trample loss $12.50 an acre. I would call the plane!

We used Coragen seemed to work good from what we can see applied some by ground and had some applied by air

Arial applicators would not have been to polular in Leader if they would have sprayed this field that we rent beside the Leader School

All the sudden seeing lots of white moths in the neighbours canola. Not a good sign can anyone comment?

Not just the neighbours in mine too. Here they come.
