Harvest 2019

[bankrupt]

It's how identifiable they are now.

If, as you said above, you've got green WB off-type ears still holding your harvest up for the odd week or two, just pick yourself a bag full of them and get them typed.

If you can't now see them because they've caught up with rest of the crop - sorted!

Started some OSR yesterday , unsprayed ,varying from 8 to 9.5 % moisture and yielding approximately 1.25 t /ha .
The most noticeable thing were the amount of CSFB adults . The grain tank , stubble and grain store absolutely heaving with them , and we didn't think We actually had a problem with them . Wtf are we going to do this autumn ?

1.25t/ha? Or acre?

Good luck with harvest

How will you manage the osr stubble? let it green up then try & maintain the volunteers to hold the beetle when they come out of dormancy in late August?

Sorry , ton / acre .
Keep it green I think @Brisel .
I 'm doing some resistant testing . I've caught some up in a container and have sprayed them with Hallmark to see what level of resistance we have . K Obiol in the grain store kills them , not direct sprayed but where they have walked onto treated surfaces .

If K Obiol kills them would something like Decis forte kill them as they are both deltamethrin.

Been judging some wheat crops,recently,and I think yields won't be as high as everyone was hoping.The rain in June certainly upped the disease pressure,especially Septoria, which is bound to compromise yields a little.

I turned of the sprayer for ten metres to see what would happen without a dose, let's just say it is almost dead . I kept to pretty normal doses on T1&2 glad I did now, didnt do a T3 as crops were totally clean and it was still protected by the T2 and too windy really to spray ear wash and too late by the time the weather was ok so didnt bother

In theory deltamethrin will have the same knock down resistance (kdr) mechanism as Hallmark, cypermethrin etc. Perhaps it's the dose & harvesting stress/dewaxing by movement that makes them more susceptible.

Makes you wonder about lorry rejection for bugs for harvest movements.

Same with us.

A big difference now noticeable here between all the moderate Septoria resistant varieties (eg Graham) and the good (eg Exsept).

Shall know the full score within a month or so.

How's it going @bankrupt ?

Very slow - now up to 63kg and down to 16%.

As to yields, didn't someone already mention 6.9t/h?

Fleabeetle not a storage pest so should not be a problem
If they are on the surfaces of trailers and store floor they look a lot more than they are when sampled by spear

In the 1990s we had some years when there were lots at harvest but not much damage in the autumn Larvae spray in October killed a lot of newly hatched larvae
We will have to wait and see what comes in September

Testing for susceptibility to insecticide is the most sensible option although within a couple of years resistance will increase if spraying controls some
Saving the spray to use on larvae in late October when the larvae hatch may be the most profitable option because if you get a crop established by spraying early only for a big invasion of larvae to hit the crop over the winter all the cost but lower yield

A neighbour done some crimp barley yesterday and it yielded just shy of 4t acre.

 

[Feldspar]

Starting properly tomorrow in winter barley. Sample cut on Friday was at 16% with some greens in. OSR testing at 11.75% today and looking surprisingly fit with no glyphosate. Nearly 1/2 of our total area to cut is winter barley and OSR so keen to get cracking.

That said a shame staff cant have a Sunday off . Will a day make or break your farm profits????? Are you a single man or married?

 

[Devon James]

The rain making machines are doing their trick again. Out the shed for a few days and there is talk or rain on the forecast.

None here mx , work on sunday ,,,, mend on monday ,,,,and never start a job on a friday we cannot finish ,,
We will do a sunday if rain looming ,to finish combining ,or sowing , and if if its the only day you can spray ,

Claas man turned up this morning to fix reversing camera on the combine. I mean I admire the dedication but they've known about this for weeks, would have thought it could have been done on a weekday!
