Agronomists Happy Hour

Specifically the question asked on AGvisorPRO this week was how long can you expect insecticide residuals to be for Red Sunflower Seed Weevil and Grasshoppers as there is not much readily accessible information available.

We give our take on this to help understand insecticide residual and what to expect on this weeks show.

Happy hour this week is spent with the collective known as the Ag Mafia. Bridgette Readel, Jason Hanson, and Kyle Okke explain what it is they are up to and what they have planned!

It's a hot one this week, but it's also humid. We pull two questions off AGvisorPRO this week both related to the heat.

1) Can it be too hot to be applying fungicide?

2) Is applying fungicide at night a good idea?

Your mesonet may be the same, but we are sure proud of ours. We spend happy hour this week with James Hyde and Andrew Thostenson. James is an instrumentation specialist for NDAWN (North Dakota Agricultural Weather Network) and Andrew our states pesticide coordinator. Both share and tie together the importance of gathering climatic data through NDAWN and how it benefits the farmers of North Dakota and surrounding states. 

To spray for scab, or not spray for scab? That is the question, and rightfully so with the amount of heat happening this week, its a good thing to question if these conditions are still conducive for scab.

The AGvisorPRO app had a question asking what were peoples favorite water conditioner products outside of ammonium sulfate.

We felt this a great opportunity to expand and talk about the different classes of water conditioner adjuvants that existent and how they work.

A land owners 1 year old maple trees are dead in a mater of days, and are curious if the newly sprayed soybean field next to them is just a coincidence or something to do with it?

This is a unique question that came through on the AGvisorPRO app and a great question to walk through how to handle on the landowners perspective.
