I receive this email from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and find it very interesting because it is research we as farmers don't get to see every day. Enjoy!

Science News from the Prairies

Cereal disease research at AAFC: The importance of monitoring
Dr. Kelly Turkington, an Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada plant pathology research scientist (Lacombe Research and Development Centre) and Chair of the Prairie Recommending Committee for Oat and Barley, is among the many AAFC researchers working on initiatives to improve plant health on the Prairies, including identifying cereal disease races, assessing crop variety disease tolerance/resistance, and developing integrated pest and crop management strategies.
 
For most cereal disease issues, effective management relies on accurate and timely information related to disease risk. For example, cereal rust spores are easily carried on the wind over large distances. Funded under the Canadian Agricultural Partnership (CAP) Crop Agronomy Cluster, Turkington, with colleagues at AAFC (Ross Weiss and Meghan Vankosky; AAFC-Saskatoon Research and Development Centre) and Environment and Climate Change Canada, analyze the frequency and wind trajectory paths to determine the risk of rust spore dispersal from the central USA and Pacific Northwest to the Canadian Prairies. The results are provided as weekly updates during the growing season on the Prairie Crop Disease Monitoring Network blog. This timely cereal rust risk information allows Prairie producers and agrologists to target key regions where critical in-crop scouting is urgently required to assess the need for fungicide application.
 
Under the CAP National Barley Cluster, Turkington along with technicians Noryne Rauhala and Jackie Busaan evaluate breeding lines and germplasm from Prairie barley breeding programs for resistance to key barley leaf diseases including scald, net blotch and spot blotch. Improvements in the disease resistance packages of Canadian barley varieties leads to more sustainable and effective leaf disease management, while avoiding the need for in-crop fungicide applications. Turkington, with other Prairie barley pathologists, is also leading a companion National Barley Cluster looking at barley pathogen variation. This work is critical in terms of making sure that breeders and pathologists are targeting key disease issues, while ensuring that breeding material is being evaluated against the most representative pathotypes including more virulent pathogen isolates.

In 2020 Interview with Grainews, Turkington addressed some common cereal pathogens on the Prairies, including leaf spots, rusts, fusarium head blight and root rots. These disease vary depending on province, region, cropping history, and weather conditions. According to Turkington, “Knowing what’s happening in your field and the nature of the pathogens you are trying to manage gives you valuable information about the need and type of an in-crop [pesticide] application, while also having implications for future crop planning and cereal variety choice.”

For more information on cereal diseases impacting the Prairie region, check out the series of disease guides and recommended disease survey protocols that Turkington and Kathleen McHugh developed for the Prairie Crop Disease Monitoring Network (funded as part of the CAP Integrated Crop Agronomy Cluster).

Triticale Seed, Soft Wheat Seed, Malt Barley Seed

26/11/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
The past few weeks have been mild, hopefully some of the snow is melting into the ground. We just cleaned AB Cattleac barley and have had many calls about wheat & durum. A fair bit of wheat and pea seed have been shipped and we are already doing some treating as customers pick up.

To ensure our crops (canola, quinoa and more) are storing well, we are rolling over the bins, even if the cables say it is okay. In addition we are building a fence around the house in the yard.

Malt Barley Contracts

BC 100 Malt Barley - MolsonCoors is looking for acres for malt barley. You need to be on irrigation and ideally in the highway 3 corridor but North & South of that also works.
At the present time the contracts are only for Southern Alberta on irrigation, as there has been many questions for non irrigated or central Alberta.

If you are looking for other malt barley varieties we do have AC Metcalfe and work with a partner on the varieties CDC Bow and CDC Fraser if you require those varieties.

New Seed Treatment

We will be carrying the new seed treatment from BASF that kills wireworms that eat the seed called Teraxxa F4 . Wireworms only come up to feed once in a while so this may be beneficial to reduce them over time. We also suggest that fields coming out of a forage crop are at higher risk of wireworms because they can build up over time in a forage stand. More info in this article.

Triticale & Soft Wheat

Feed grain prices are high right now, and we have had some questions on what the best options are. Some are going the soft wheat route (AAC Paramount & AAC Awesome are the top 2 varieties), while others are planing to use spring triticale.
Sunray spring triticale can be used for silage or for grain, in drought years on dryland it has yielded about 40% more vs durum (2019). This season we grew it on irrigation and it averaged higher vs our soft wheats at 148 bu per ac avg on good land. (keep in mind 56 lbs per bu standard weight)

Clean Seed On Hand & Ready To Ship:
We have AAC Chrome & AAC Delhi Peas, FB 9-4, Fabelle, DL Rico & Snowbrid Faba beans, Redberry & LeRoy Wheat, Alloy & Succeed VB durum & AB Cattlelac 6 row barley cleaned and ready to pickup if needed. We are now cleaning Fabelle faba beans and then onto AAC Awesome Soft wheat next.

Italian Ryegrass Seed

26/11/2020

0 Comments

 
Italian ryegrass has a fit for forage where a farmer does not want the grass to go to seed and also wants good forage quality as a crop seeded after something else or under seeded to it.

In 2020 we had a customer buy Oryx Italian ryegrass to under seed with oats in May. After he took the oats for green feed he watered it and this picture below is 2 weeks after the green feed came off. This picture taken Sept 11 2020. 

Oryx Italian ryegrass is a diploid type of Italian ryegrass, they are more
 fine-leaved and dense in growth. They are more resistant to damage by grazing cattle. The diploids have a higher dry-matter content.

Tetraploid varieties are typically darker and more broad-leaved, and slightly higher yielding with higher sugar content, better winter hardiness, and more open growth.

We most commonly sell Harmony Italian blend Italian ryegrass as its a blend of of Diploid & Tetraploid types.

CDC Haymaker Oat

20/11/2020

0 Comments

 
CDC Haymaker forage oats have forage or green feed advantage over other oats because the stems are thinner and more digestible compared to other oats. CDC Haymaker has higher biomass vs CDC Baler forage oats.
​CDC Haymaker oats are great for double cropping, silage, swath grazing, bale grazing, green feed, and forage blends with peas or other cover crops.
