When to spray ??

[tstep]

At these temps, why even put the seed in the ground? Wait till it warms up, spray, seed, crop will be up in 5. Why risk letting it lay there for 10 days?

No wheels turning here. Will wait a bit yet to start. Tired of spraying and seeding when the air temperature is the same as in the refrigerator or even the freezer!

I have sprayed lots of roundup at cold temps , always works . as long as tips don't freeze while your spraying . the reason you seed now is because you can't seed it all in one day

.......I don't know, ask Hobby.

The canola council has a good article on their website on frost/spray timing . Worth the read

Sorry case last nights temps and the temps for the next three days I'm thinking Monday at earliest! seeding and spraying just as wheat is poking out gives awesome results but timing is everything!

Agree with s/f , below minus 8 is too much

Keep spraying. You know you want to, so just keep going. If it doesnt work goto the bulk tank and get more. No big deal.

Agreed, i re read that, I mean to be antagonistic. Truly you know you want to so go and do it.
It doesnt upset me , farmers are trying to make their living they way they know how.
I am auite indifferent to the issue, you can buy as many sprayers and apply as much as you want whenever you want . Just dont zap the neighbors. That rule was written from the beginning of sorayers.
