Pulse School: Identifying Seed Borne Diseases & What To Do With Seed Test Results

Apr 21, 2014 Aug 24, 2016 by RealAgriculture Agronomy Team

Results from a seed test could shape several management decisions made at seeding — from fine-tuning the seeding rate to determining the viability of the seed lot for seed at all. Though damaged seeds and vigour issues can be assessed, arguably the biggest factor for consideration in seed test results is the type and level... Read More

Soybean School West: Why Phosphorus Management for Soybean is Unique

Apr 15, 2014 Aug 21, 2016 by RealAgriculture Agronomy Team

Phosphorus management is and must be a long term proposition. Phosphorus behaves very differently than nitrogen in the soil, as it binds tightly to soil particles and releases slowly over time. This is good and bad — it's not subject to the same loss risk that N is, but it also means that sometimes the... Read More

Corn School: Improve Timing & Bump Yield With Split Application Nitrogen

Apr 15, 2014 Aug 23, 2016 by RealAgriculture Agronomy Team

In this episode of the Corn School, Bernard Tobin and OMAF Corn Lead Greg Stewart turn to a chalkboard to draw up some nitrogen strategies for the 2014 corn crop. Throughout the winter meeting season, Stewart touted a split application approach to nitrogen. He recommends growers put down 100 lb of nitrogen pre-plant and then... Read More

Wheat School: Two Methods for Evaluating Survival of Winter Wheat

Apr 14, 2014 Aug 28, 2016 by RealAgriculture Agronomy Team

As the snow retreats (quickly now, get on with you), it's time to get out there and take a good look at the winter wheat stand. There is such thing as doing a winterkill evaluation too early, but, depending on the method you use, you could need up to two weeks to get a good... Read More

Corn School: Tight Planting Window? Plant ASAP, Fertilize Later

Apr 10, 2014 Aug 18, 2016 by RealAgriculture Agronomy Team

It's early April and farmers are itching to get the planter out in the field. For the precious few of you in Ontario that are nearly ready to roll, have at 'er, but for most of the corn growing region, it's not late yet, but it's looking like the planting window may be slightly compressed....

Canola School: Basing Seeding Rates on Thousand Kernel Weight

Apr 7, 2014 Aug 21, 2016 by RealAgriculture Agronomy Team

Are you seeding your canola at 5lb/ac? Unless your seed rate was calculated based on that seed lot's thousand kernel weight (TKW), you may be losing yield potential, as plant numbers decline with increasing seed size. Angela Brackenreed, agronomy specialist with the Canola Council of Canada, suggests re-calibrating when the TKW of a seed lot... Read More

Wheat School: Did my Wheat Make it? Early Input Decisions for the Ontario Wheat Crop

Apr 2, 2014 Aug 18, 2016 by RealAgriculture Agronomy Team

As Ontario cereal specialist Peter Johnson says, farmers aren't satisfied 'til they've (mentally) killed the winter wheat crop three times. So, it's no surprise then, that as the earliest fields are appearing from under the snow (sigh, alas, not yet in all areas), many farmers are concerned with how the crop looks and whether or...

Canola School: Strategies for Saving on Seed Costs

Mar 31, 2014 Aug 21, 2016 by RealAgriculture Agronomy Team

Canola seed size has climbed in recent years from a once-common 4 grams per 1,000 kernel weight to north of 7 grams per 1,000 seeds. What does that mean to you, the farmer? It means that if you've stuck with your typical four pounds per acre seeding rate (and there are good reasons to do... Read More

Canola School: Is it a Nitrogen Deficiency? Compare & Contrast to be Sure

Mar 24, 2014 Aug 21, 2016 by RealAgriculture Agronomy Team

From a distance, a nitrogen deficient canola plant and a sulphur deficient plant can actually look rather similar. It's only once you get up close and compare it to plants from other areas of the field, that you can better assess what's hampering growth of the crop. In this episode of the Canola School, Dan...

Corn School: Strategies for Driving Corn Yields Up, Up, Up!

Mar 5, 2014 Jul 21, 2014 by RealAgriculture Agronomy Team

No two farmers manage their corn crop the same way, yet can achieve top yields. This is great news, because it means that no matter what your goals are for the farm, from decreasing tillage, to using more cover crops, there's a way to produce more corn per acre. That's one of the take-home messages... Read More
