Seed treatment on wheat

[fjlip]

Going by all the hype and advertising, guessing chem corps are NOT selling much of the seed treatments.
Long time since any used here and not planning to ever use any.

How many folks run treated canola? Or is that different, and why?

Treating wheat is a waste of money and time. Unless you like breathing pink dust in filling the drill.

Watched a bunch of test trays of durum germinate at my local dealer.ended up the company that was doing the test did not have best results.Sure would not have wanted not to treat the seed they used.A real eye opener.untreated weak sick slow growing.

We treat our wheat seed in Early cold spring seeding. After may long weekend its a waste of time. Ground warm seed up in two to three days.
But first week of may in our mud cool area you treat seed.

Does anyone have a personal experience with untreated being a disaster compared to treated on the same field?
I always hear the line "it's good insurance".
I'm honestly curious.

I've seen some bad loose smut on untreated durum beside fields that are treated having no loose smut. Both fields were Strongfield durum on flax stubble, but it was comparing two neighbours so seed lots were different (this was last year).

I lost half my roblin wheat one year to take all, only dividend helps. It îs a soil born thing, chem reps tell me to test my seed and use their product, cant cure stupid.
