    We used Coragen seemed to work good from what we can see applied some by ground and had some applied by air

    Arial applicators would not have been to polular in Leader if they would have sprayed this field that we rent beside the Leader School

    Jag those pics remind me of swathing short season canola , 30- 40 years ago , with the worms 2 inches thick on cutter bar
    the worms built up on the rollers, stopping the canvas, you had to pull handfuls from under the canvas. as the
    100s above your head on the reel crawled down your neck
    You have 30.4" of straight line tire trample / 1440 inches of boom = .0211 loss. With headlands, turning and extra damage probably 2.5% crop loss is a good figure if your fields are relatively square and wide open. If your expecting a $500 an acre return your trample loss $12.50 an acre. I would call the plane!

    We've found taking out a piece of white board into the field and cutting the stems above the leaves and banging on the board gives you much better indication of where the bugs are. Then bang out the leaf portion after to give your total count. You lose so much taking handul back to the truck and banging on the hood.

    From what I can see last few days try to use coragen (seems in short supply) and leave the decis/matador in the retailers shed. We applied ours at 60 ml rate and seems to be working good. Last tank going on this morning. Could have done heavier rate for longer residual but first time using it so was skeptical.

    just east of here

    i have been pulling a sq ft. of plants , beating them out ,
    counts of 2 , 5,5,15,28,8,10,15, 18, 18,15, 12, a lot of 8 s and 15 counts .
    pick up chem tommorow , some getting planes tomorrow, myself , like a few other neighbours, we plan to do our own.
    unless i read it wrong , i thought the threshold was 15-20 sq. ft.
    i better check again .


    a lot of cocoons, mostlly , med. large size worms , and a few small ones

    what would you guys use as a trample %. 120 ft. booms , i was thinking about 1 1/2 %

    even if you said 40 bushell should equal . 6 bushell / acre x 10$ equals 6 $ acre
    does it sound about right. esp with no fungicide tracks to follow
    What size are your tires? The first number is the width of tread in millimetres.
