1 st pea plot off

[freewheat]

So furrow, you are talking shortened rotations then showing responses? What about a 1 in 5 or 6 year rotation?

Both fields are 1 in 3 . Showed better growth and root rot reduction all year - that's what I was looking for as well as different herbicide effects on root rot in other plots.
No one has done much with herbicides and fertility in relation to root rot severity. I know there is a huge link , and it showed even on a very dry May/June early July. That's the interesting part. Most just squarely blamed the weather last year but some of us seen much different. I did this on a 3 year rotation to prove a point. Root rot is not all about being too wet.

perhaps but Aphanomyces really does.

BTW, There is no completely satisfactory control for the root-rot diseases of field pea once the causal fungus or fungi are introduced and becomes prevalent in the soil.

Pythium likes 64 to 72 and Aphanomyces from 72 to 82 and fusarium likes 79 to 82.

Root rot is a real bitch.

Humalite. Applied to the seed like innoculant but at a rate of 3lbs/acre.

It shows very promising results. Better than commercial seed treatments. We'll see once they are harvested.

[furrowtickler]

We seen some very positive results with ligno humate as a seed treatment as well .
Other than it gumeed up our augers on the ole Bourgault realy bad realy fast . We tried a 80 part of the first field but we had issues with seeding rates very quick so could not realy do a yeild test .
We tried to mix with tagteam peat into a slurry - not a good plan

[Klause]

Ok... we put our liquid innoculant in suspension with milk replacer and water, added our peat and put the slurry on in the yard then put the humalite in dry at the field... seemed to stick to the peas and not gum up the rollers but we only did 30 acres as a trial.

Has The Rack released any of the results from these trials yet? Or is it for customers only? I am a bit out of their area.
