1 3) Treat your seed a) Fungicide or fungicide/insecticide treatment I. Controls fusarium on the seed II. Healthier plants III. More uniform emergence, causing more uniform flowering date, allowing more accurate spray timing IV. Many good products Warden Cereals, Stamina F3, Nipsit Suite, Cruisermaxx Vibrance Cereals, Rancona V, Raxil Pro, b) Plant Growth Regulator Ascend or Release I. Healthier Plant II. More uniform emergence c) Treaters available!

3 4) Bump your seeding rate a) Less tillers b) More uniform flowering date c) More accurate spray timing

4 5) Use good fertility a) Soil test b) Chloride helps plant resist diseases deficient in many fields in this area apply potash! c) Address other nutrient deficiencies

5 6) Scout and assess conditions before and at beginning of flowering a) Canopy wet pants in the afternoon? b) Humidity? c) Rainfall/Dew? d) e)

6 7) Spray at early flower a) Caramba and Prosaro have equal effectiveness I. Generic Folicur is less effective b) Use higher rate if conditions warrant I. Caramba 13.5 to 17 oz II. Prosaro 6.5 to 8.2 oz c) Current research is finding target is still early flowering and +5 days after early flowering is still showing good results a) Early flowering = 50% of the mainstem heads are starting to flower d) Second application could be an option I. Caramba followed by generic Folicur (Onset) II. Second app found to be more effective on DON by 14% (NDSU) at 4 to 7 days later III. Is this economical? 8) Pray! Aerial application available again for 2017!

8 Single forward-facing nozzle Angled 30 to 45 degrees from horizontal 300 to 350 micron droplets 10 GPA of water Angled nozzle adapters are available Look at spray nozzle charts for the application rate, travel speed, pressure, and nozzle type you need to get a large fine droplet or a small medium droplet See NDSU s Ground Application of Fungicide for the Suppression of Fusarium Head Blight in Small Grains Publication AE1314

9 Quite a bit of damage in 2016 Watch NDSU forecast site Humidity, Dew, Rain Sclerotia live in soil for years and re-infect broadleaf crops Can spray with Proline $1.50/oz rebate if also purchased InVigor canola

10 Mild winter, snow cover may allow wheat to overwinter If this happens, make sure to have two weeks of dead wheat before 2017 wheat crop

11 Granular Inoculant totes are in short supply Book inoculant soon and pick up early!! L130 Canola no supply, will switch to 5440 Can get L140 for the additional cost Seed Available L140 InVigor Canola RR Canola RR and LL Soybeans Corn Sunflower Contact us to pick up seed early to beat the rush

13 Quickroots Bacillus amyloliquefaciens Trichoderma virens Increased uptake of N, P, and K Enhanced root growth Good on small grains, pulse crops, and soybeans

14 AgXplore Products Borpak good on pulse crops and canola at bloom Valupak good on pulse crops with herbicide Nutripak small grain seed treatment

16 Need a plant stand of at least 150,000, especially for solid-seeded beans in the North Figure with 90% germination, 85% emerge, plant 176,000 NDSU Recommends 175,000 seed rate on rows NDSU Recommends 200,000 seed rate on drilled beans Need to keep beans from getting too low and bushy Plant units/acre and treat the seed Double Inoculate liquid on the seed, granular if possible, peat if you can t do granular Seed 1 to 1.5 inches deep Earlier planting yields better, but try for 50F soil temps

17 Best practice is to apply a PRE herbicide Valor, Spartan charge, Authority MTZ with RT3 May avoid two in-crop herbicide applications Phosphorous is important Broadcast is better than banded for beans Can do 40 or 50 lb of with the seed in 7-10 row spacings Watch sandy or low OM soils for sulfur needs
