Corn Harvest<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Some are done, but for some harvest continues.\u00a0 With possible shower delays, there is a chance for weeds like morningglories, which can lead to high moisture and trash, stopped up combines and slowed progress.<\/p>\n

According to Dr. Prostko, \u201cGrowers who have annual morningglory problems might want to consider a harvest-aid application of Roundup + Aim to help desiccate the MG vines and facilitate harvesting.\u00a0 No miracles here though but best we have.\u201d\u00a0 Once the corn stalks dry and light gets to the ground, the morningglory will come.<\/p>\n

Disease Update<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Peanut<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr. Kemerait shares with us that Peanut Rust<\/em> has been found in Tifton, so that means it is likely in other places. We have not seen any in this area, however, with current weather conditions, peanut rust could develop quickly.\u00a0 Stay on a good fungicide program, effective against our important diseases, including rust at this point.<\/p>\n

Research demonstrates that tank mixes of chlorothalonil with Alto (cyproconazole), tebuconazole, Proline (prothioconazole), and likely Domark (tetraconazole) are good for rust and leaf spot control.\u00a0 Elatus is also very strong against rust disease.<\/p>\n

Dr. Kemerait suggests, if there is rust found in a field, to shorten the spray interval and make applications on a 10-day interval.<\/p>\n

Cotton<\/strong><\/p>\n

Areolate Mildew<\/em> has been found and conditions are very good for spread now.\u00a0 However, that does mean that you should spray a fungicide.\u00a0 According to Dr. Kemerait, Cotton within 3-4 weeks of defoliation should be “safe”.\u00a0 Cotton in fields where the disease has not been detected likely do not need to be sprayed yet.\u00a0 Should you find a field already severely affected by areolate mildew or target spot, there is likely no benefit from spraying.\u00a0 Where yield potential is low, there is likely no need to spray.\u00a0 Should you need to spray, Priaxor is currently the \u201ctop\u201d cotton fungicide, but azoxystrobrin is effective when used timely.<\/p>\n
