We all know there are many factors that affect the performance of a chemical application. @KyleOkke takes us through a few things to consider in hot, dry, windy conditions. βοΈ π¨

@AgMafiaLLC Was checking out some as applied data this morning where we put out checks of untreated, 3 oz Valor, 4 oz Valor, and 3 oz Valor + 3.2 oz Zidua. We're supposed to get warm next week. Looking forward to heading out in a few weeks to see how it looks!
In case you need a refresher, top plant is WATERHEMP (already bigger than I want it to be when I spray) bottom are redroot pigweed. πππ@JennethJohanson @JDGaultier@storytimewitkim Tell a friend. Tell everyone.
@PfennigAllen These were all from spots where there was waterhemp a year ago. However, there was a noticeable uptick in general waterhemp pressure last summer. I envision that it will increase again. These particular spots had a more intense population than a year ago. π«€

@okkefromuskogee There have been times that I've not been able to but orange juice locally because all of the jugs have said "Non GMO" on it. I always have to wait until Cass Clay is back in stock!
@SarahLovas1 Used to get frustrated with Dad when I was younger because many drawers in his office looked like this. It didn't take me very many years to understand π #organizedmess
@LandonRice07@LandinJohnson10 Most of our poor zones are clay or gravel hills, field depending. Is it mostly a wet/saline struggle for you guys in poor areas? Or a combination of both. Just trying to learn a little. Pretty green to canola production!
@LandonRice07@LandinJohnson10 Started working with more canola by Wishek a few years ago. Currently we use 5# with a hoe drill. I had heard of guys up north using planters to go to 2# in better areas and keep it up at 5 in poor zones. We don't have as much salinity down here, though it exists.
@AgIntelAg @NDSUWeeds lower the pH to a point that would negatively affect the Sharpen? I've always thought AMS is a necessity and mostly enhances activity. Just curious!
@AgIntelAg @NDSUWeeds So in the weed guide there's a section that talks about Sharpen liking higher pH water. Most of the Sharpen that we use is tank mixed with glyphosate and AMS along with MSO. Usually PRE. I think that is pretty common practice. Is there any reason that that 10#/100 gal AMS would
@buttkeagronomy@okkefromuskogee@EMoore52 We rigged up a small tin shroud to cover the radiator and that definitely seemed to help. Don't know how late you guys drive fields but it is just something we found to be aware of with those ATVs. Good machine otherwise! Very durable and handles well.
@buttkeagronomy@okkefromuskogee@EMoore52 We have also run CanAm 570s. We found an issue with them getting warm on us during late season soybeans scouting. We make a few laps in bean fields checking for insects in July-Augustand because of the way their radiator is designed, leaves and trash sit on them and plug them up.
