Beneficials on the rise against soybean aphids, root rot, fusarium in fields

Manitoba Insect & Disease Update for August 2

By Manitoba Agriculture August 3, 2017

Diamondback moth continues to be a concern in some areas, although it is the pupa stage that is now dominant in some fields. Soybean aphids surpassed economic threshold in some fields. In some soybean fields natural enemy populations seem to be building in response to the soybean aphids. Bertha armyworms are being monitored, and high levels of larvae have

Weather conditions see crops quickly advance, disease, insect pressures low

Manitoba Crop Report and Crop Weather report for July 24, 2017

By Manitoba Agriculture July 24, 2017

Hot and humid weather conditions across much of the province are advancing crops quickly. Winter cereals and some early seeded spring cereals are starting to turn. Areas in the Southwest, Northwest and Central regions are well below normal precipitation and would benefit from rain. Thunderstorms brought damaging winds and hail to some areas of Manitoba.

Fusarium head blight risk maps

By Manitoba Co-operator Staff July 21, 2017

Fusarium head blight risk maps are posted daily courtesy of Manitoba Agriculture. During the winter wheat flowering period up to the end of the flowering period for spring wheat, these risk maps will be provided for you here. The map above shows the current risk for fusarium head blight development based on the previous seven days of temperature and

Diamondback moths near threshold for canola, root rot in soybeans reported

Manitoba Insect & Disease Update for July 5

By Manitoba Agriculture July 7, 2017

Thistle caterpillar has been noted in some soybean and sunflower fields. Some levels of diamondback moth larvae approaching threshold have been noted in some canola fields in the southwest. There have been additional reports of suspected Phytophthora root rot in soybean. Growers in the western part of Manitoba are considering whether or not to make a fungicide application for

Warm temps make for good growth, crop insect and disease stress seen low

Manitoba Crop Report and Crop Weather report for July 4, 2017

By Manitoba Agriculture July 5, 2017

Precipitation amounts are below average for much of the province. Crops in the Southwest Region and the western part of the Central region would benefit from moisture. Crops in most regions are in good to excellent condition. Warmer temperatures are improving growth of warm season crops. Insect and disease pressure remains low in field crops.

Early flowering is the best time to spray wheat with a fungicide to protect it from fusarium head blight but first assess how much risk of the crop being infected.

Heads up on fusarium head blight

Early flowering is the time to apply a prophylactic fungicide on wheat but first assess the field’s disease risk

By Allan Dawson June 26, 2017

It’s time to turn a weather eye on cereal crops for fusarium infections. Fusarium head blight damaged a lot of Manitoba spring wheat last year and farmers should be assessing this year’s risk from the fungal disease that can cut wheat quality and yield. Since wheat is most susceptible to fusarium infection at flowering, early

In-field effects: The seed planted in both wheat plots had 12 to 15 per cent fusarium infection, but the seed on the left was treated and the seed on the right was not.

High fusarium infection means farmers should test and consider a seed treatment before planting

By Allan Dawson May 10, 2017

This is a seeding season where pre-planting testing of wheat seed is an important first step, and seed treatments may be more important than ever. With unprecedented levels of fusarium head blight infection in Manitoba wheat in 2016, farmers should get their wheat seed tested for germination, consider testing for the presence of pathogens and

Richard Cuthbert’s patience and persistence paid off culminating with the recommendation for registration of his new Canada Western Red Spring wheat that accumulates less DON (deoxynivalenol), when infected with fusarium head blight. The Prairie Recommending Committee for Wheat, Rye and Triticale gave BW980 a thumbs up at its annual meeting in Winnipeg Mar. 2.

A new Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) wheat that accumulates less deoxynivalenol (DON), the mycotoxin sometimes produced after a fusarium head blight infection, is being recommended for registration. It took an extra year of testing, but at its annual meeting in Winnipeg Mar. 2 the Prairie Recommending Committee for Wheat, Rye and Triticale (PRCWRT) gave

Canadian hog prices to rise by summer

By Dave Sims, GFM Network News March 17, 2017

CNS Canada — Cheap prices for feed and a softer Canadian dollar have helped keep Canadian hog prices aloft so far in 2017. “Right now producers are looking at $180 to $184 a pig,” said Andrew Dickson, general manger of Manitoba Pork. “Prices are looking pretty good for June, July, August.” By July, he said,

Wheat disease risk sees farmers looking to oats

By GFM Network News, Phil Franz-Warkentin February 27, 2017

CNS Canada — Canadian farmers are showing an increased interest in seeding oats this spring, despite a lack of activity from a pricing standpoint, as quality concerns in wheat and barley have growers looking to other cereals. “We are seeing a huge influx of acres into oats,” said Scott Shiels, grain procurement merchant with Grain
