Tough scary canola

[farmaholic]

Well, the canola that supposedly survived the frost (didn't turn dark green to black and was dead) isn't looking too shit hot. Frost set back, dried up(hot windy days) , and being ravaged by flea beetles. Probably going to give it an insecticide.

****ing relentless.....

Well at least its not flooded.

Huge acres being reseeded here. Everyone that frolicked out a day after the frost and danced around saying "the canola's alive" is doing a different dance now.

Flea beetles are active. Many are spraying without checking the threshold tho.

Had it not got so hot and windy and bug pressure, it would have likely been better able to handle the frost. Looks like someone shot it with a shotgun, at close range..

Between the land rolling and burnt fields around me yesterday some may rethink burning. So goes the gamble. Work on exexperience. One or two years is just that.

What is the treatment on canola for?

[Guest]

i am really surprised at how that frost killed the volunteer canola. never saw it take it out lke that before

Just in !!!!!!! Helix does not kill striped flee Beatle and that's what we have. Pay for Lubriderm at least it kills all the flee Beatles and cut worms.

Instead of us paying more for lumiderm maybe bayer should replace prosper with a product that works like lumiderm.
