Farmers Eagerly Awaiting Arrival Or Warmer Temperatures

Farmers in Essex County are eager to see temperatures warm up soon.
 
Planting season is fast approaching. It likely won't arrive early.
 
"In the past, we have planted some corn in April, if the weather permits, if it warmed up," Lakeshore's Leo Guilbeault said. "It doesn't look like it's going to happen this year. It's little too cold yet. We need the temperature to warm up another 10 degrees here."
 
He hopes to have his corn seeds in the ground within two weeks.

Spring weed control in winter wheat with Broadway® Star (pyroxsulam + florasulam)

Video: Spring weed control in winter wheat with Broadway® Star (pyroxsulam + florasulam)

#CortevaTalks brings you a short update with Cereal Herbicides Category Manager, Alister McRobbie, on how to get the most out of Broadway® Star.

Significant populations of grassweeds, including ryegrass and brome, can threaten winter wheat yields. Spring applications of a contact graminicide, such as Broadway Star from Corteva Agriscience, can clear problem weeds, allowing crops to grow away in the spring.

Broadway Star (pyroxsulam + florasulam) controls ryegrass, sterile brome, wild oats and a range of broad-leaved weeds such as cleavers. It can be applied to winter wheat up until GS32, but the earlier the application is made, the smaller the weed, and the greater the benefit to the crop. Weeds should be actively growing. A good rule of thumb is that if your grass needs cutting, conditions are right to apply Broadway Star.
