What a difference a week makes!
Corn and soybeans are growing in many parts of Ontario and are enjoying the heat, but the central and eastern parts of the province are still struggling to get their crops going as the weather has been quite wet.
The early warmth has also caused wheat stripe rust (watch out!), increased alfalfa weevils (watch out!), and lodging due to high biomass. Speaking of biomass, wheat is growing incredibly large flag leaves, but is that a bad thing? Find out in this episode of Wheat Pete’s Word.
Have a question you’d like Wheat Pete to answer or field results you’d like to send him? Do you agree/disagree with something he says? Leave me a message at 1-888-746-3311, tweet me (@wheatpete), or send me an email. (email protected).
summary
- It was a warm month in May!
- Above the 10-year average
- Five-leaf corn is grown in southern Ontario.
- Something strange is happening with the divided coleoptile
- Talking about silage: rye, triticale, autumn sown crops are ready! SP harvester harvests large amounts of silage
- Lodging is observed in wheat without ears (no PGR)
- Even with PGR, winter barley is falling.
- Don’t worry if it’s not hot weather yet, rain is starting to fall in some areas
- cannot be planted in mud
- New Brunswick’s autumn-sown spring wheat survived winter
- Peat’s wheat crop will be vulnerable to temperatures above 25 degrees.
- Large, thick leaves, large biomass
- Red clover in late May looks great even amongst large wheat crops
- Ugly: Beware of stripe rust! Make sure it’s stripe rust.But if it’s happening, you can’t wait
- Scout and Scout Again
- It moves very fast
- Rust spores take just five days to form
- Nothing turns orange in just 2 weeks
- Protect your head! No strobe
- In many areas, the risk of Fusarium fungi is also high. Spraying FHB is also effective in preventing rust.
- Aralfa weevils — If you are more than a week away from cutting and there are three or more larvae on one stem, you should control weevils.
- Will grains save us? In the humid Middle East and Far East, the soil is wet and not suitable
- Eroded Hills and Slopes – Sulfur Problems!
- Even though the air is warm, does the soil remain cold? it’s possible
- Nitrogen Loss Measurement: Compost and Fertilizer
- Urea in nitrogen is easily lost, and ammonia is released as a gas. ammonium is not
- Too big a clover? You need to knock it back.
- What is the risk of germination/crust if I roll my beans before or after planting? There is also this video
- Should I shallowly boil soybeans that have a high water content?
