Fertilizing sick peas

[Guest]

Bang on Furrow, if you are not selling it then it is snake oil and on and on! There is probably actual snake oil out there but I like seeing data on different products to help make decisions. Plant health is huge. We need to understand the relationship between the soil and plant. Getting tired of all the media regarding companies saying our product is better than the other companies. The rack trials were a real eye opener this last year.

Further to Furrows comment on big companies not endorsing any products that might help fight legume ailments thus hurting their fungicide sales. Talked to a friend of mine and Furrows the other night, over some beers, who is an independent retailer. Said he had a new favorite line, "Mold makes Gold"

Question for pea growers - last time I grew peas I had almost two sections wiped out with relentless rain. No have quit with peas til it dries up. On these sections I missed spraying a small triangle - maybe 20 square feet in total area. Guess what - those peas stayed healthy, green and were about 10 inches taller. I think the problem is chemical injury which is compounded with excess rain. Anyone else notice this this season?

My sprayer misses are all healthy looking peas with no root browning, even in the lower spots that were wetter. So no doubt in my mind that the odyssey I sprayed stressed the plants and caused the plants to be weak and the brown roots appeared. Also killed all/most of the nodules.

Unfortunately the unsprayed spots are full of weeds and the yield will be hurt there also, which is why I sprayed my peas in the first place.

Poor boy - that's exactly were I seen huge difference 2 years ago
That lead to my whole rant on peas and the racks pea trials . It was as plain as day what was going on

After field checks they tried to tell me it was overlaps - what Fukin joke.
And when I brought up the fact that the weeds were not touched - everyone involved had amnisia or how ever you spell it.
I left that experience rather determined - lol

Will post harvest glyphosate and full rate trifluralin in the fall get all the incrop weeds the following spring, or will a lower rate of something still be needed to be used? Between Authority, Odyssey, and too much rain, I think it's just too much for the peas to take.

where I did the spring treflan / authority round up burn off I just went in with a 200 AC / jug rate of pursuit and 80 AC rate of centurion.
That field is as clean as the full rate viper with foo foo juice
In both cases though zero flash and peas stayed green the whole time and were not delayed at all

The odyssey with Racks foo foo juice was as yellow and damaged as the plain odyssey. Also put on some treflan strips and they are no different than the rest of the field.

Could you not put on the pursuit with the burn down at say 80 acres a jug and get good control? Volunteer canola seems to be my biggest weed in peas, and have not figured out how to manage it.
