Soon many producers will be starting to plant small grains. For practical guidance, check out this list of important things to consider when planting wheat and other small grains in the coming weeks from the University of Illinois.
Withspring planting right around the corner, some are thinking about the ‘green bridge’ and how long to wait before planting. Researchers from Washington State University consider whether there’s a benefit to using paraquat instead of glyphosate for a quick burn-down.
Experts at South Dakota State University Extension discuss whether or not to remove or replace weed and wheat growth in fields, after haying of wheat, avoid insect, disease and weed problems, or if it's best to just leave it alone.
Despite the environmental and soil benefits that cover crops provide, many farmers are reluctant to try cover crops because of reports of possible yield reduction in the following crop.
While green bridge is a major disease worry in the Pacific Northwest, it’s a problem Midwestern no-tillers should be leery of with certain crop rotations and cover crops.
Some plant pathologists maintain green bridge is not likely to be a disease concern with the traditional Midwestern corn-and-soybean rotation. But with the expanding growth of cover crops and adoption of other crop rotations, it’s a possible disease worry for Corn Belt no-tillers.
I've spent a good portion of my career helping producers adopt no-till practices through extension, as a Monsanto no-till specialist and, most recently, as a crop consultant.
The so-called “green bridge” could be stealing yields from no-till fields without the growers’ knowledge. The green bridge is the method by which soil and foliar pathogens feed on cover crops, weeds or volunteer crops and survive long enough to infect a new season’s cash crops.
