Been receiving questions around rust in the winter wheat. In plant pathology there is the Disease Triangle - Host, Pathogen, Environment. The region currently has the pathogen present and favorable environment. Is your crop (host) protected? #priaxor #nexicor #BASFplanthealth

@ArielSchulz__ Its all about the auricle!

[Matt Renfrow @MattKRenfrow]

As we are approaching flag leaf on the winter wheat, keep in mind that the optimum timing for mid-season BASF Plant Health applications is from Feekes 8-10. Finish the season strong with Priaxor and Nexicor fungicides!

@dustfrmer @grfarms Pricing won’t be released until after it is registered by the EPA.

Looking at wireworm plots yesterday. Great sites with plenty of pressure. #teraxxa

[Matt Renfrow @MattKRenfrow]

@grfarms That’s true, it’s a serious pest and has created problems on a lot a farms. Fortunately, there is a solution right around the corner...

Couple of recent photos of Zidua vs Untreated in winter wheat. Ivyleaf speedwell and field pennycress.

Spraying #wheat today. Broadleaf and grass herbicides, fertilizer, and #nexicor in the tank.

Untreated vs Herbicide+Nexicor up close

[Matt Renfrow @MattKRenfrow]

This field was sprayed with herbicide 5 days before a 9 degree freeze, including Nexicor Fungicide (right). Grower went around a plot (left). You can see the Plant Health in action helping to tolerate the cold stress.

@TMC_Cat Maybe a silver and gold Idaho Vandal mix

Calibrating the seed rate on a box drill for kabuli garbanzos. FloRite over the top of the seed sure makes a world of difference for keeping flow consistent.

@TMC_Cat Obvius Plus!!! Blonde with a nice red colorant.

[Matt Renfrow @MattKRenfrow]

@TMC_Cat @roody32609 Well I had one of them doing a nutrient analysis (putting dirt in his mouth), the other one was giving me the “what for” because the sprayer wasn’t in the field

[Matt Renfrow @MattKRenfrow]

Took advantage of some sunshine this weekend to look at winter wheat.

[Matt Renfrow @MattKRenfrow]

@TMC_Cat Pyridine residual (tordon, milestone)?

[Matt Renfrow @MattKRenfrow]

Getting a look at our new fungicide, Veltyma, on winter canola.

[Matt Renfrow @MattKRenfrow]

No fall herbicide vs Outlook + Diuron in perennial bluegrass. Ventenatta and volunteer bluegrass pressure. Off to a good start this spring.

If you're looking for true #wireworm control, look no further. BASF hosted a seminar that was all about wireworms and its new Teraxxa insecticide seed treatment, anticipated for cereal crops in the 2021 season.
