I think that is our current list<\/p>\n

Our row-crop disease situation is pretty much the same as from my last e-mail.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0Environmental conditions continue to be favorable for development of fungal diseases; we still have moisture and some afternoon storms and warm temperatures.\u00a0 Such will certainly favor development of white mold and leaf spot on peanuts and continued spread of southern corn rust.<\/li>\n
  2. Crop development:\u00a0 all of our crops, and especially peanuts and cotton, are progressing to where they are increasingly vulnerable to disease.\u00a0 A) larger leaf canopies create greater humidity and longer leaf-wetness periods within the canopies, conducive for disease.\u00a0 B) Denser canopy makes getting fungicides to the “target” areas more difficult.\u00a0 C.\u00a0 At least for peanuts, growth brings on pegs and limbs along the soil which are vulnerable to attack.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    HERE IS WHAT I AM THINKING ABOUT NOW:<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \u00a0Peanuts<\/strong>:\u00a0 white mold, white mold.\u00a0 The conditions are here.\u00a0 Don’t be shy or timid.\u00a0 Leaf spot:\u00a0 much of our crop is at (or beyond) the “witching hour” of 30 days after planting.\u00a0 Now is time for leaf spot sprays.\u00a0 If it is very dry, one can safely extend spray intervals.\u00a0 But be smart.\u00a0 NEMATODES:\u00a0 Growers wanting to protect their crop (the pegs and pods especially) from root-knot and lesion nematodes SHOULD apply PROPULSE (13.6 fl oz\/A) or AgLogic (10 lb\/A) to the crop between 45 and 65 days after planting.\u00a0 Remember the “magic word” to success:\u00a0 IRRIGATION very very soon after application.\u00a0 If this stuff doesn’t get into the soil then it doesn’t matter for nematodes.<\/li>\n
    2. Corn:<\/strong>\u00a0 Not very worried about any diseases other than southern corn rust.\u00a0 We know if is sprinkled across the Coastal Plain. Already causing damage in a few isolated fields, building in others.\u00a0 Corn to late milk stages and beyond is most likely ok.\u00a0 Corn at early milk stage, silking, tasseling, or even younger is vulnerable.\u00a0 Got a good crop and good yield potential?\u00a0 Me?\u00a0 I say protect it….<\/li>\n
    3. Cotton:<\/strong>\u00a0 first week of bloom may be too early to spray but it the RIGHT time to get out there and look for target spot and areolate mildew.\u00a0 Conditions now are favorable for both diseases.\u00a0 If these diseases don’t show up until late, no need for a fungicide.\u00a0 But if they come i n early, be prepared…..\u00a0 ALSO:\u00a0 IF YOU SEE SOMETHING IN YOUR COTTON THAT LOOKS LIKE A VIRUS, STUNTED, DISTORTED, RED, DROOPING, let us know so we can check for virus.<\/li>\n
    4. Soybeans<\/strong>:\u00a0 Rust is everywhere in kudzu along the Coastal Plain.\u00a0 The Match is Lit.\u00a0 I would spray my beans when I put our Dimilin and boron.\u00a0 No later than R3, early pod set.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
