Canola on pea stubble?

[furrowtickler]

Yup basagran , going to spray treflan on with round up for burn off.
Hopefully find generic basagran next year prob $5/AC instead of $25

Last year we seeded some canola into pea stubble.

Around here it is surprising how fast things can dry out. Last spring, not all of the first half section seeded to canola on pea stubble would have germinated if it wasn't for a third of an inch rain on May 6th. Individually, most of the pathetic showers after that probably wouldn't have been enough to get it out of the ground. First meaningful rain after May 6 was July 19.

If you're in an area with questionable soil moisture....shallow seeded crops can be a challenge to get established. Pea stubble will likely be drier than cereal stubble.

How much trash can you have with the treflan spray? and is the seeding the only incorporation of the treflan, I ve thought about doing something like that but maybe granular although spraying with the burnoff would be ideal.

As most know were in a wetter area. We have for years always followed peas with Canola. Usually Liberty but some times RR.
Excellent results that are usually our highest yield.
But all our fields of Peas are usually Kelly Harrowed twice in Fall before freeze up. Once the Day or two after harvest and then in Mid to late October.

riders, what was interesting last year in the Racks pea trials was that they (we) worked parts of the plot black. they came in before seeding and incorporated treflan on a series of plots before seeding and some plots were just sprayed the day after seeding with the round up and treflan. Also the tref/rup burn off was sprayed after seeding into a no till(standing wheat) situation. At the end of the day weed control was about par in all three situations. More interesting was the reduction in disease in all treflan plots.

The combination of trflan with a pre burn, an ortho phos in the seed row and micro's with the viper consistently yielded 35% higher than seeding peas with tag team then spraying with just viper and no micro's in all plots in all 3 locations.
Other added fertility also pushed yields but the cost, risk and efficiency at seeding become a factor for us at that point.
Authority was also used in with some of the treflan/round up pre burn treatments - it definatelty added to weed control and had no negative effects on pea yield what so ever - but again that gets pricey.

Anyway, adding treflan to the weed control in peas will carry over into more consistent weed control if you are doing canola on pea stubble as part of your rotation. And if I can get a disease reduction in the peas consistently - that's a bonus.

Putting my canola on mainly faba stubble this year. If I get it combined. lol It was in my plan all along. Faba fix 2X the n as pea, and act more like alfalfa, where the n affect is long term. I am looking forward to trying it out. But we need to get rid of some snow. High is supposed to be -4 today. Still can't combine.

You have been taking advantage of cheap equipment at sales .... right?

Hope you get the spring work done.

Let's us know on your results. Your field trials are more relevant to me than the advertised ones.

Faba beans look promising but how is the market for them ? I like the fact that spring frost does not bother them , this can be seeded early with low risk .
