Split applications, which are approved for some fungicides, may be worthwhile in some cases. For instance, if the sclerotinia stem rot risk is questionable at early bloom, growers could use a split rate and then wait to see if the second application is needed. Another benefit to the split is if the crop is uneven and the flowering period could…

Nitrogen and sulphur top ups at early flower are later than recommended but may pay off if fields are showing obvious signs of deficiency and crop yield potential is high…

If you have lygus bug and cabbage seedpod weevil in the same field and if they are both at 50% or more of their economic spray thresholds, spraying may provide an economic benefit…

Insects, heat stress, hail and sulphur deficiency can all cause bud discoloration and damage. Scouting closely for insects may be required to find out which might be the cause, especially if heat stress and hail can be ruled out…

Check to see if lygus feeding is preventing crop from coming into flower. Bertha armyworm adults are mounting and larvae will start to hatch later this month. Leafhoppers are at higher than usual numbers in some locations…
-
Before trying any treatment on hail damaged fields, give the crop time to recover. It may recover nicely on its own, likely with later maturity but with a large percentage of its yield potential intact. Or, if the growing points or most of the leaves are stripped off, the plants may not recover sufficiently to warrant further investment in the…

Canola fields are being assessed for sclerotinia stem rot risk, especially with decent moisture, dense canopies and good yield potential. We have tips this week on how to assess the risk in each field. Tomorrow’s webinar with Kelly Turkington will help answer more of your questions. Growers are reminded to include lygus bugs in their insect scouting…
