Crop Report – June 8, 2022
Conditions
For most of southern and central Ontario, this week’s rains were timely to support crop establishment. Precipitation June 7th ranged from 12 to 50 mm (1 to 2 inch), with regional reports in southern Ontario (Lambton, Middlesex, Bruce and Grey counties) reporting over 50 to 55 mm (2 to 2.3 inch).
Cereals
Herbicide applications are underway in spring cereals and reports indicate these crops are looking good across the province, including the northeast. Seeding deadlines were extended until June 5th in Northwestern Ontario to support producers dealing with record-breaking rainfall. However, continued wet conditions meant that most seeding of cereals had not been completed by June 5th.
Cereal leaf beetle is not being observed in high numbers yet this season, even in areas where pressure has been high in recent years. Little to no disease has been reported to date in winter wheat, aside from some cases of powdery mildew that has been linked to susceptible varieties. Fungicide applications for prevention of fusarium head blight are either complete or planned for this week when the weather cooperates. Some producers have reported that they do not observe pollen on the heads, making it difficult to determine the ideal fungicide application stage. Wheat anthers may not extrude pollen but if heads are fully exposed the window for fungicide application is open, provided it has not entered the preharvest interval – check the fungicide label for the preharvest interval. Wheat planted in November is heading now.
Soybeans
The spring has been relatively normal in terms of soybean seeding and progress. While unplanted fields have been noted in some areas, soybean growth stages range from emerging to 2nd trifoliate stage. Populations look low in some fields, and this may be because of poorer performance of drills on heavier soils compared to row unit planters. Some no-till fields look thin and a few replants have occurred. Soybeans can perform well with thinner stands, and it is commonly reported that no-till soybeans look tough early in the season but yield similar to tilled fields. Cool nighttime temperatures and crusted soil may contribute to slow or reduced emergence. Rolling before rain can increase the risk of crusting. Rolling at V1 (first trifoliate) during the heat of the day with a smooth roller is recommended and does not significantly damage plants or reduce stands compared to other timings.
Some wireworm and seedcorn maggot have been observed but overall reports of these pests are low. Bean leaf beetle have been noted in early emerging soybean fields, and typically these fields are second year soybeans or adjacent to alfalfa fields. During soybean seedling stages (VC-V2) the threshold is 16 adult beetles per 30 cm of row, although control is also warranted if they are clipping stems. Black cutworm has also been reported in some soybean fields which is uncommon, and there is no specific threshold established. Monitor the level of stem clipping and plant populations and consider controlling cutworm where stands are being affected, the larva are still small (under 2.5 cm) and seed for replanting is not available. Bt traits should control cutworm, but ingestion of the toxin requires they feed on a plant and therefore clip off a stem. Within two weeks they should no longer be an issue.
Corn
Corn growth progress looks good and stands are generally healthy. Growth stages range from V2 to V5. Some producers have noted purpling of leaves on corn seedlings (Figure 1.). In many cases this is related to genetics and is not a major concern. Where it is related to genetics, purpling may be present on the first 4 to 5 leaves and occurs after a few bright, sunny days followed by cool nights. It is a result of anthocyanin pigment formation. With warm weather the corn will outgrow this quickly, but the purpling may remain if growth is slow due to cool temperatures. If purpling is uneven across the field and continues beyond the 6-leaf stage, there may be a phosphorous deficiency. Deficiency will be most visible on the oldest leaves and may result in stunted growth. Soil tests will aid in diagnosing phosphorous deficiency.

Dry Beans
Dry bean planting is ongoing, and soil conditions have been good. Adzuki beans, which are often planted earlier than other market classes, have emerged in many fields. Some white and black beans have emerged, but most bean fields were planted within the past week. Cranberry beans are typically planted last because they mature faster than other beans. Early June is the ideal planting window, when soil conditions and temperatures allow, but planting will continue to mid-month. Later plantings often result in issues with late harvest. It is expected that acreage of dry bean in Ontario will be lower this year than in the past 5 years.
Forages
First cut forages were harvested in the past week. Grasses were ahead of alfalfa for maturity. Yields in the southwest were disappointing in some fields where there was more winter damage than first expected. Some fields were repurposed to silage corn or soybeans depending on feed inventories. Alfalfa weevils are present in many fields. Growers are taking advantage of good weather conditions to apply manure to harvested forage fields.

Crop Report – June 1, 2022
Conditions
Some sporadic rains have occurred across the province this last week. In areas where planting is mostly complete, these rains have generally been well received. Temperature swings between stretches of very warm and cool weather has continued this spring, though crop heat unit (CHU) accumulation is similar to slightly ahead of normal.
Cereals
Emergence of winter wheat heads is slowly occurring across the province. In the longest season areas and in fields planted early, heads have emerged, and fusarium head blight (FHB) fungicide applications (T3) have just started. T3 fungicide applications are expected to start in earnest this weekend and progress over the next two weeks as winter wheat approaches the ideal growth stage (anthers emerging from the middle of the wheat head) across the province.
To help time your fungicide applications, Day 0 occurs when 75% of heads on main stems are fully emerged. Day 2 is typically when anthers have just started to emerge from the middle of heads (start of anthesis) and has traditionally been the optimum timing for fungicide efficacy against FHB. Fungicide applications can still reduce the risk of mycotoxin (DON) levels in winter wheat as late as days 6 to 8.
Corn
Except for corn to be planted after first cut hay, corn planting is nearly complete. Some of the remaining corn to be planted on heavier soils has or is close to wrapping up. In most cases, emergence and stands are reported to look excellent. Some of the earliest planted corn may be approaching V4-V5 stage, while corn planted during the week of May 9 to 15 is generally around V2-V3. Some early sidedress nitrogen applications are just starting and are expected to get underway in earnest in some areas the end of this week and into next.
Uniform plant emergence and development is an important foundation for high yields. Early vegetative stages are an excellent time to investigate corn stands for missing or late emerging plants to troubleshoot for any issues that may have led to these (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Early vegetative stages are a great time to scout fields for gaps or delayed plants and troubleshoot for issues that may have led to these.
Soybeans
Soybean planting continues this week. Progress is highly variable depending on the area, soil type and rainfall, but may be about 75% complete overall. Soybean planting in many of the heavier textured soils is now in full swing and is expected to near completion this weekend.
Depending on tillage and planting depth, dry soil has been a concern for some. Planting deeper has been required to find moisture, especially in rougher or drier seedbeds. In general, planting 1.5” (4 cm) is ideal for soybeans, while planting deeper than 2” (5 cm) on tougher or heavier textured soils can be a challenge for soybean emergence. While most have reported excellent stands for soybeans that are emerging, rain has or will be welcome to complete germination and emergence.
Forages
First cut alfalfa for dairy-quality hay has just started this week, especially on operations where more than 3 cuts are made each year. Alfalfa appears to be slightly delayed (e.g. some fields still not in bud as of late last week), likely due to the cool start this spring. Grasses have been heading out, so cuts should be made on grass hay if targeting quality.
Insects should be monitored now in forage crops. Alfalfa weevil has been reported at high levels in some areas. Harvesting is typically the recommendation for populations approaching thresholds. If Alfalfa weevil populations are high but harvest is more than 7-10 days away, control may be warranted, though crop protectant products can also negatively impact beneficial insects. Given recent weather fronts and thunderstorms in some areas, potato leaf hopper scouting should also begin. Details on scouting and thresholds for alfalfa insect pests are available on FieldCropNews.com.

Crop Report – May 25th, 2022
OMAFRA Field Crop Team
Conditions
A large storm system with high winds, and variable amounts of rain on Saturday swept across Windsor to Quebec City, and left widespread power outages, downed trees, and property damage. The storm was classified by Environment Canada as a Derecho, (Figure 1.) which is defined as a line of intense, widespread and fast-moving windstorms and sometimes thunderstorms that move across a great distance. Rainfall ranged from a few to 15 mm with a few reports of hail. Field crops were not adversely affected, except where hail shredded leaves of cereal crops and where debris is scattered throughout fields, including metal and tree limbs in forage fields.

Cereals
Spring cereal acres are higher due to less acres of winter wheat planted last fall. Fields are planted and have emerged well with uniform stands. Frost-seeded cereals are well ahead of those planted in May.
Winter wheat fields continue to advance with earliest planted fields beginning to head. Disease pressure remains relatively low; however, some powdery mildew has been observed with a few varieties displaying higher pressure for powdery mildew. Fungicide application (T3) to prevent fusarium head blight (FHB) will begin as crops reach growth stage 58 to 61. The key to preventing FHB is to have fungicide products provide complete coverage to wheat heads. Heads that are missed or only partially sprayed (i.e. tillers only, missing upper leaves) are not protected.
FHB is impacted by wet, humid conditions with moderate temperatures and can result in shrunken kernels resulting in reduced yield and reduction in crop quality due to the presence of Deoxynivalenol (DON) in the grain. Fungicide application ideally occurs 2 days after 75 percent of the heads on the main stem are fully emerged (referred to as Day 0). This will be difficult in many fields where growth is variable (for example fields with tile-run growth). Application up to Day 8 will provide some visual control of fusarium and from observations often results in less DON relative to fields without fungicide.
Forages
Forage harvest has started with forage rye harvest last week and early alfalfa-grass stands beginning the week of May 24th for dairy producers aiming for 4 cuts before September. Alfalfa in many fields has not yet reached bud stage. Orchard grass in alfalfa-grass mixes has headed. Alfalfa growth is variable, especially in fields with heavier soils that were impacted by prolonged wet roots last fall resulting in some winter damage. Growth ranges between 50 cm height for plants just approaching bud stage to plants with less than 20 cm of growth. This large range in maturity makes getting ideal feed quality difficult.
Alfalfa weevil is present in many fields which can result in reduced yield and forage quality. Typically, alfalfa weevil does not reach significant levels prior to first-cut, however, immediate harvest is not planned in many fields. Control may be required where insects have reached threshold levels – 40% leaf-tip feeding with 2 or 3 active weevils per stem and more than a week from preferred harvest date or if the crop is less than 40 cm tall. For more information on thresholds and control products refer to the OMAFRA Field Crop Protection Guide – Publication 812 controlling alfalfa weevil or the new Ontario Crop Protection Hub.
Figure 2. Alfalfa weevil feeding on leaf-tips reduce forage yield and quality.
Manure application after forage harvest has been shown to improve yields and alfalfa quality, however it is important to apply manure as quickly after harvest as possible before regrowth occurs. Manure application on alfalfa regrowth damages the new stems and results in lower yield in the tracked areas of the field. Application rates should be set to apply no more than 50 lbs/ac as ammonium-N – which is usually around 3,500 – 4,000 imperial gallons/ac of dairy manure – to prevent leaf burn or salt injury. A manure analysis will provide the phosphorus and potassium that was applied. Potassium from manure applied on alfalfa does not usually supply what the crop removes.
Corn and Soybeans
Corn planting is generally complete except on some heavy soils. Earliest planted corn emerged and at 3 leaves (stage V2). With excellent conditions for germination and early growth it is surprising that some corkscrewed plants are being observed as well as some gaps in plant stands. While group 15 herbicides combined with cold conditions often contribute to these observations, one other theory this year is that fields were in good condition for planting, however, many fields had sections that were less ready, leading to surface compaction and/or sidewall compaction that could contribute to corkscrewing.
Soybean seeding is estimated at just under 50 percent planted although this varies by region. Earliest planted beans are at unifoliate (stage VC). Based on conditions to date, beans planted to date can expect maximum yield potential, however, yield potential starts to decrease as soybeans are planted into June.
Simple stand counts can be estimated as soybeans emerge by determining plants per square foot. Two plants per square foot is equivalent to about 90,000 plants/acre, and generally indicates an adequate stand. On heavy clay soils 3 plants per square foot would be preferred.
Weed Control
The application of herbicides continues as conditions allow and as growers try to keep pace with crop growth. With so much of the crop planted in a short timeframe some post emerge options are being considered where pre-emerge windows have closed. As fusarium head blight fungicide application approaches, a thorough cleanout of all sprayer components is critical, especially after herbicide applications. Any small amount of herbicide residue left in an end cap or section of plumbing can cause unwanted crop stress during a critical stage of development. An example is shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3. Dark streaks in winter wheat that were caused by herbicide contamination in the plumbing of a sprayer that was not adequately cleaned out. The herbicide injury affected pollination and most of the grain heads did not produce a kernel.
Perennial sow thistle is a difficult weed to control and is evident now in many corn fields. Control is best when herbicide is applied after the 8-leaf rosette stage, when sustenance from root reserves decreases. Waiting to apply herbicide at this stage is difficult when good control through the critical weed-free period is also important. Balancing between timing and frequency of herbicide applications and choosing products that won’t contribute to carryover restrictions is challenging and often results in suppressing growth for the season.
