Midge

[bigzee]

Checked durum last found 5-7 per swipe!! Threshold is 8-10, not sure if I should spray. Going to spray Prassaro so thought would throw in good ol Lorsban. Haven't sprayed for midge before and hate doing it but I'm close to threshold.

You know what wiseguy your smart ass remarks after everyone's posts are getting a little sickening. He's asking a valid question and looking for advice.

#smarten up
#grab a brain

I'd put it in if you're getting all this rain... won't be spraying for s couple days if we get 2 inches

sk ! The chemicals are sickening ! Don't you ever tell me to smarten up and grab a brain ! Do some reading yourself ! Spraying grain with lorsban doesn't help one bit only costs the grower !

# chemical label says poison !

# eating grain sprayed with all these chemicals is unhealthy !

# some of yous will get the drift !

Soon having wheat downgraded b/c of midge is better? Lol

North American standards for grading grain would be nice.

Klause ! To some it seems that way ! Sprayed lorsban didn't help ! Still got downgraded ! Now I haul all my wheat to the states midge or fusuraium is not even an issue !

Fusarium is and shrunken kernels are dockage

how are the elevators to deal with as a canadian in the usa? what elevator you hauling to?

Sprayed two years, narrow window too. Early and more hatch, two days late and eggs are laid in heads. Hellish poison, so hired it done. Unsprayed yielded graded similar, never really paid. Good luck. Midge resistant wheat is the answer, holiday while others spray!

How toxic is lorsban.

My neighbors have every right to spray it but I can smell it into my yard a quarter mile away.
