Volume
IV, Issue 5 Postcard
September, 2009
Postcard text:
Now is the time to control volunteer
wheat and weeds in your stubble and summer till. You save moisture, and
you protect yourself and your neighbors from disease and insects spread
by the volunteer wheat.
Volunteer wheat which is not controlled acts as a "green bridge" for
wheat curl mites and allows them to spread wheat streak mosaic virus.
We need to treat before this fall's wheat emerges, so call us very soon
for a fast, accurate application.

Volume
IV, Issue 4 Postcard
August, 2009
Postcard text:
SUNFLOWER: Head moth and seed weevil
are now being treated. One to two head moths per five plants is
considered economic. Seed weevils can be easily scouted by spraying the
plant head with insect repellent. One per plant is economic in
confectionery, and 10 per head in oil flowers.
CORN: Spider mites are emerging. Treat before the mites are ear high. If
you have non-Bt corn, watch for European Corn Borer egg masses. Treat
ECB at 10-20 masses per hundred plants. Both insects can often be
treated in a single application.
Complete crop information is available here.
Volume
IV, Issue 3 Postcard
July, 2009
Postcard text:
Next year's corn rootworm damage (and
this year's silk clipping) can be reduced by spraying rootworm beetles
at silk stage. Furadan--our only rescue treatment--will likely be banned
next year, so adult control is vital.
Beetle timing is good for adding a fungicide tank mix. Headline and
Quilt are available, but excellent lower price fungicides are now
labeled for rust and gray leaf spot in corn.
In sunflowers, these lower priced fungicides can also be tank mixed with
head moth and seed weevil applications to protect against disease. High
humidity and warm nights increase disease pressure.
Call us to discuss your options on all of your crops.
Volume IV, Issue 2 Postcard
May, 2009
Postcard text:
Wheat diseases often cause yield
losses of 5 to 10 bushels per acre, and sometimes more. Weather-wise,
this looks like a high disease pressure year. High-yield potential
fields, irrigation, and susceptible varieties should be treated to
protect the flag leaf.
Two fungicides which have excellent ratings on our common diseases are
priced at historical lows. Bumper (Tilt) gave us excellent
results in 2008, and it is under $13 applied this year. Orius (tebuconazole)
is under $10 per acre applied!
Pre-harvest intervals are 40 and 30 days respectively.
Call us to schedule your application.
Volume
IV, Issue 1 Postcard
April, 2009
Postcard text:
Wheat will joint very soon. If you
treat right now, we can still use dicamba to control SU resistant kochia.
Other options exist after jointing, but they cost more.
Even without mustard pressure, treating wheat prevents summer annuals
from emerging in thin spots. It also provides weed control after
harvest, which reduces your post-harvest management costs and moisture
loss. If you need a nutrient boost, we can tank mix in High NRG-N.
Call us today for an economical, precise, no-tracks application.
