Question for Oat, Feed Barley growers

[TraderJoe]

Triactor should likely not be the first choice for everyone, as it has a tendency to have lower than average test weights. Summit, Seabiscuit, Stride and Camden are 4 newer varieties that will outperform it in most areas!

Summitt is in demand. Less thins.

triactor oats are NFG

Triactor was a dud in easten sask this year, the buyers are saying they are all light weight. We still grow Orrins and have heavy oats every year but we use full rate of follicur at flag to stop the rust. We found folicur will increase yield 25% most years.

BW. do you find folicur keeps straw too green in the fall?this is always a concern in ne sask . we switched to twinline but sure did have good luck with folicur

[BreadWinner]

I have found the opposite when using folicure. The crop matures even because there is no rust to cause the plant to shut down. It has not added and length to the season in fact I think it has maybe shortened it. We have done test strips and the unsprayed is laying over and breaking down while the sprayed part is standing tall and nice to swath or combine. The last trial I did the yield was 85bus/ac on unsprayed and 120bus/ac on the sprayed. The bushel weight was 235g/hl vs 260g/hl.
