Controlling Weeds in Grass Plantings


Now is the time to return to work and to writing this column.
Some of you know that I was off for three months from my Penn State Extension employment and writing this column after experiencing a cardiac arrest in January.
I am grateful to the Lord for extending my days, and for the thoughts and prayers of many of the readers of this column.
I would like to thank my Penn State Extension colleague Jeff Graybill for taking care of this column in my absence.
Additionally I would like to thank the members of our Extension Field and Forage Crops team who assisted Jeff with article contributions during this time.

The Eragrostis curvula, or African lovegrass, is considered a noxious weed and can be found growing throughout Australia.

Farmers in New South Wales have raised concerns as a severely invasive weed show signs of resistance towards a key herbicide, in a nationwide first.
Key points:
Only two chemicals are currently used to prevent the weed's spread in Australia
Landholders are encouraged to monitor their paddocks and participate in the expanding survey of the weeds
South East Local Land Services investigated 12 populations of African lovegrass from the New South Wales Snowy Monaro region, with results showing five samples tested had become resistant to the herbicide Flupropanate.

Get rid of weeds and insects at home without pesticides


April 01, 2021
URBANA, Ill. – It finally happened; your garden’s first tomato is ready to harvest. Bright red and plump, you can practically taste it, but on closer inspection someone already has.
Do you dig out the trusty bottle of insecticide?
Not so fast, says Michelle Wiesbrook, a University of Illinois Extension expert in pesticide safety and horticultural weed science. Pesticides have their place in controlling persistent weed and pest outbreaks, but using them incorrectly can harm pets, kill beneficial insects, and leach chemicals into waterways and drinking supplies.
“We recommend that you use pesticides as a last resort,” Wiesbrook says. “A lot of times there are other controls that will work.”

Teagasc and farm merchants apply for emergency use of clover-safe sprays


Current herbicides for new leys are not suitable for clover.
The loss of 2,4-DB means there is currently no product licensed to kill weeds, but not clover, in new leys.
This resulted in well-known clover-safe sprays such as Underclear, Legumex DB, Clovermax and Undersown being taken off the market.
Farmers have until the end of October 2021 to use up any remaining stocks.
Speaking at a Goldcrop grass seed webinar on Friday, Goldcrop’s Scott Lovell said that the only products approved for use on new grass seeds now are not clover safe.
Emergency use clearance
He said that due to the importance of clover in reducing Ireland’s reliance on chemical nitrogen, maintaining it’s green image and as a means of generating more profit for farmers Teagasc and the Federation of Agrochemical Retail Merchants have requested emergency use clearance for 2,4-DB from the Department of Agriculture.

New White Mold Herbicide for Peanuts - AG INFORMATION NETWORK OF THE WEST


New White Mold Fungicide for Peanuts
Thursday Mar 11th, 2021
 
Georgia and Alabama are two of the top peanut-producing states in the country, with the Peanut capital of the world residing in Dothan, Alabama. Peanut growers across the southeast might be interested in a new fungicide coming from Valent.
 
Excalia is a new fungicide from Valent that is offering peanut growers better control of white mold. The fungicide also works with apple crops in reducing diseases like apple scab and rust diseases. 2021 marks the first sales year for Excalia, which currently isn't registered in Florida.
 
Quyntin Brandt is a marketing manager for row crops with Valent and explains how Excalia, when applied multiple times each year, helps reduce white mold issues.

Is Corn After Corn Right for You?


Now is the time to consider corn-after-corn rotations.
The strong demand for corn and the recent increase in prices are making many producers consider increasing the amount of corn they grow by expanding their acreage of corn after corn.
Before considering a major switch in rotations, consider the effects on your rotation, crop storage requirements, timeliness of planting conservation plans and ultimately, profitability.
On good soils, the ratio of corn to soybean yields is often 3 to 1. That’s 3 bushels of corn per bushel of soy.
However, on droughty soils, and in some areas of our state, this ratio drops to 2.5-to-1 or less, which makes continuous corn less attractive.

Strategies for Successful Spring-Planted Cover Crops


Even though we had decent cover crop planting conditions last fall, you may have a field or two that didn’t get seeded. You might be asking if it’d be worthwhile to plant cover crops in the spring. There are certainly some scenarios that would make sense if you can work them into your cropping plans in the next few weeks.
Planting Window
Since you want to maximize growth potential, you need to get your spring cover crops planted as soon as the ground is fit to plant. Target cash crop fields that will be planted later in order to allow time for the cover crops to grow. You may get some weed control or nitrogen from the legume portion of a cover cover mix, but not as much as compared to fall-planted covers. This sets up an ideal scenario to plant your cash crop into a green cover crop, or “planting green.”

Farmer Writes: pressure is on and much to be done


Gerald Potterton farms tillage and some beef at Kildalkey, Co. Meath.\ Jack Caffrey
It was last Friday morning, the sun was shining and it had been dry for all of two days. The yard concrete was whitening off nicely, in a way not seen in a while. Although, we did get the slatted tanks emptied a fortnight ago in good enough conditions but it had rained a lot in the interim. Regular straw customer Mark was tying his load and he quipped: “Weather’s up and the pressure’s on – you’ll be busy next week.”
He had read my mind perfectly. The pressure is certainly on and there’s much to be done. The bould Bruno – no stranger to this column – has a classic but rude phrase to describe how excited some of his (male) contracting customers can become with the arrival of haymaking weather. I can’t possibly repeat it here but the same could be said of excited tillage farmers greeting the arrival of a perfect combination of sunshine and drying wind in the springtime.
