What's up with our peas?

[furrowtickler]

Absolutely great thing to have .
12 plus is perfect .
If the whole field was 7 ish , 2 litres of alpine would kick er up. But your field should correct itself as Dave said.

Got a Brix meter today and have been trying it out a bit.

Getting a Brix reading of 10 in healthier looking Peas and 7 in the pea plants that are yellow.

Checked out some durum and getting readings of 10-12.

Any one have much experience with a Brix meter?

I have read Brix readings 12+ is what you want

Let er go , let er grow.
Adding anything to that situation would be a waste of money . Root system is healthy thats key .

[furrowtickler]

I would say Dave is right . Here the more stubble the more the yellowing as well.
At least your roots are healthy . I doubt you will see issues in a weeks time

Taking another look 👀 now it looks like the peas are yellow where there is lots of straw like Dave said

Same issue with soybeans, too much straw left behind the combine. You can clearly see where last years windrows were. I always heavy harrow cereal straw to avoid this.

If it was good on lentil stubble and not cereal stubble i wonder if you don't have nitrogen immobilization in chaff rows behind combine. This will fix itself once the nodules kick in which seems to be happening right now on my peas. And once microbes run out of stubble to eat, they die and release the N back into soil and problem solved from either standpoint. But, this issue should really be on older pea leaves as mentioned above.

Saying that, all our peas are on lentil stubble this year so our fields are not really comparable. We used to N on our peas, only P.

I am seeing some of this stripping on herbicide overlap and on headlands

It was very wet first field we seeded was seeded April 29- May 3
Had a bit of rain between seeding the field and 30+ inches of rain in 2016
