ND and MT Pea Research Survey Results

Transcription

1 ND and MT Pea Research Survey Results I. Crop Variety Evaluation and Development: Annual Variety Trial Evaluation of Yield, Quality and adaptation Breeding and Evaluation of new varieties for Northern Great Plains Development of niche or specialty varieties Development of Winter Varieties for ND environment II. Fertility and Crop Nutrition Legume Inoculation; Products and practices Phosphorus nutrition and applications Nitrogen nutrition and application strategies Micronutrients and secondary nutrients and applications Fertilizer Placement Seed Treatment effect on inoculation III. Crop Pest Management and Control Weeds Expanded Herbicide Availability Herbicide comparisons of spectrum and efficacy of control Cultural(non-herbicide) practices of weed management Development of a Clearfield Lentil Plant Diseases Fungicide comparisons of spectrum and efficacy of control Presence of plant diseases and severity of problem in the field Seed Treatments for disease control and stand establishment Cultural (non-fungicide) practices of disease management Insects Determine impact of insects on yield and quality Expanded insecticide availability IX. Crop Management Rotation Impact of previous crops on pulse performance Impact of pulse on those crops following in rotation Establishment Influence of planting density (seeding rate, row spacing) Planting depth influence Influence of seed quality Harvest and Storage related Seed handling and storage Timing of harvest operation Harvest methods and management Tillage Impact of tillage system on crop performance 1

2 Alternative Pulse Management Crops use as a plow-down or green manure X. Crop Utilization Expanded utilization as a food product Development of non-traditional markets Better understanding of attributes as a feed Expanded utilization in livestock rations Utilization as a forage or hay product Utilization of residue as forage, hay or bedding product Quality and utilization of pea forage production for hay or silage 2

7 Additional comments concerning weeds/insects, etc. North Dakota Weed concerns: Pig Weed Canadian Thistle Wild Buckwheat Kochia Yellow Mustard Prickly Lettuce Insect/Pest concerns: Cutworms Grasshoppers Aphids Disease concerns: Root Rot Ascochyta Anthracnose on peas Montana Weed concerns: Russian Thistle Kochia Wild Buckwheat Prickly lettuce Canadian Thistle Pig Weed All broad leaf weeds Sheep grass Narrow leaf hawks beard Grasses Penny Cress Milk Weed Insect/Pest concerns: Grasshoppers Pea Weavil Cut Worms Green Bugs Aphids General Comments/Concerns: (Both North Dakota & Montana) Rotation is so important to the overall farm Chickpeas were effected by a disease not familiar with To support a breeder at NDSU Need for good public varieties available Little white insects on crops Alternative pulse management: other cover crops Impacts of oil seeds crops on pulse production Swathing vs. direct harvest Termination strategies for green manure crops Weed competition is the biggest challenge for lentils We need more cattle nutrition done on pulses and pulse screening, seed, harvest residue and forage Narrow band vs. wide band Need a better market on the highline Harvesting Lentils is still a problem 7
