The Wheat Teams T3 Tips
With T3 applications quickly upon on us, The Wheat Team has come up with some factors to consider to make effective T3 applications.
Fusarium
Protecting Yield and Quality from Late Season Diseases
In general, the 2018 wheat crop is relatively clean from a disease standpoint. Some earlier planted fields with a nice thick canopy do have some powdery mildew however the pressure remains low. There are some fields with low levels of septoria leaf spot as well. If a T1 fungicide was applied, these early season diseases were well looked after.
Knowing what stage your crop is at is critical for fungicide considerations.
Fusarium Management starts in the Fall?
As some parts of the province have started harvesting soybeans, it is a good reminder that successfully establishing winter wheat starts with managing the previous crop residue. Residue management starts with the combine. A properly set combine is the greatest residue management asset for growers looking to keep wheat in the rotation.
