Recently we have been answering many questions about Roundup UltraMAX® for preharvest applications in wheat. This is no surprise given the patches of healthy, green weeds surrounded by brown wheat. Cutting green plant material with the combine is not only difficult and time consuming, but could potentially result in dockage at the elevator. Dry conditions in many parts of the state have resulted in a short wheat crop with an open canopy. Without vigorous competition from the crop, weeds may begin to occupy fields. Preharvest or postharvest glyphosate applications make sense for some growers as either a harvest aid or to help setup their fields for the 2003 season. The key advantages of preharvest treatments include a faster, earlier harvest with weeds killed earlier and less weed seed production. A cost-saving alternative to Roundup UltraMAX is RT Master, a premix of glyphosate and 2,4-D labeled for control of annual and perennial weeds throughout North and South Dakota. For preharvest application, apply RT Master after the hard dough stage of grain fill. This is the point of development when the crop is considered to be physiologically mature. Flow of nutrients to the grain has stopped. The kernels have no green color left and are firm enough so that the contents cannot be squeezed out. Grain moisture will be approximately 30%. Up to one quart of RT Master per acre can be applied prior to harvest. (Continued on back) Jim Webster wrote: "Torsten Brinch" wrote in message ...

I cannot believe torsten doesn't understand the concept of grain quality He understands quite well. He would just rather eat grains that have been treated with paraquat and Hoelon than Roundup. Bwahahahaha. A dumb American who thinks grains are 'treated' with herbicide. at least he has realised that sci.agriculture isn't an iraqi newsgroup Jim Webster |
