Tan Spot
of wheat is creating havoc in the Red River Valley
Tan spot, primarily a foliar disease of wheat, can
commonly be found in the Red River Valley during the
spring and early summer. It has the potential to become a
severe disease problem if wheat is planted into wheat
residue (wheat-on-wheat) and the weather remains wet for
an extended period.
Early Season Fungicide – Herbicide Combinations 2004
The weather this year is similar to 2004. In years with
cool, wet springs there have been a considerable number of
reports of wheat crop injury following early season (4-5
leaf growth stage) applications of herbicide/fungicide
tank mixes.
Soybean Aphids - They’re
Baaaack…….
Soybean aphids showed up on soybean in SE MN last week and
WC MN this week. Very low numbers of aphids have been
found on very early plants (V0 / V1) in a number of
locations from the SE corner of the state just south of
the Cities. Now aphids were
reported from just south of Underwood,
outside Fergus Falls.
First
Crop Alfalfa And When To Start Cutting
The last couple of years have been tough to get started
with the first cutting of alfalfa due to the weather, rain
being the big problem. 2005 has been cold and now with
June 1st here we have rain in the forecast for the start
of the month.
Producing
High Quality Hay
This spring began with great promise, warm and dry
bolstering optimism for another productive year. However,
our mid May rainy pattern has slowed field progress and
forage growth. Once the weather patterns shift, be ready
to get your hay harvested at a quality needed for your
class of livestock.
