Wheat Pete’s Word, June 26: Snorkelling oats, rapid growth syndrome, and a plan for fusarium

Last week's intense heat and humidity across much of Ontario had significant impacts on several crops, some of them good, some of them not so good.

Heat-loving crops, such as corn, had a rip-roaring week, blasting through leaf stages, however any spring cereals in the flowering stage or crops with poor root growth suffered in the heat.

In this week's episode of Wheat Pete's Word, host Peter Johnson also has an alert for all wheat growers — fusarium is out there, it is bad, and it will require being absolutely on top of timely harvest, especially in lodged fields. Plus, hear about avoiding fleabane seedset, why rapid growth syndrome (photo above) is going to be OK, what plants handle standing water best, and the value of straw.
