  1. Upcoming Cold Temperatures and Winter Wheat

    Author(s): Laura Lindsey , Author(s): Ed Lentz, CCA , Author(s): Pierce Paul

    The upcoming forecast of cold temperatures has sparked some concern about damage to the winter wheat crop.

    Fortunately, winter wheat is very resistant to cold temperatures during the months of December, January, and February when the plant is dormant. During these months, winter wheat can withstand below freezing temperatures, especially when there is snow cover. In early 2019, Ohio experienced polar vortex temperatures without snow cover. However, no (or minimal) damage was observed in winter wheat (Figure 1).

  2. Hessian Fly Safe Dates for Ohio counties

    It’s time for the Hessian Fly-free Date Again

    Author(s): Andy Michel , Author(s): Pierce Paul , Author(s): Kelley Tilmon

    The cold temperatures this week reminded us that we are approaching our fly-free date for Ohio. These
    dates are based on predictions on when most Hessian fly adults would no longer be alive to lay eggs on
    emerging wheat. Planting winter crops after this date is a good practice to prevent infestations. Areas
    of Northern Ohio can safely plant wheat after September 22, whereas the dates in southern Ohio extend
    to October 4 and 5.

  3. Burndown Herbicides for No-till Wheat

    Author(s): Mark Loux

    Herbicide options for burndown of existing weeds prior to planting of no-till wheat include glyphosate, Gramoxone, Sharpen, and dicamba.  Among these, the combination of glyphosate and Sharpen probably provides the best combination of efficacy on marestail, flexibility in application timing and residual control.  Dicamba labels have the following restriction on preplant applications – “allow 10 days between application and planting for each 0.25 lb ai/A used”.  A rate of 0.5 lb ai/A would therefore need to be applied at least 20 days before planting.  We do not know of any 2,4-D product lab
