Thursday, June 7, 1979 News From Around The Farms By R.M. Thompson I County Extension Chairman Alternatives on what to do with this year’s planting is fast coming to an end. We figure that what corn is up and growing has been decreased considerably due to the root growth, and in many cases you probably should come back with nitrogen if you haven’t already done this. If you are plowing up corn now and have applied Atrazine, we strongly urge you to plant milo at the rate of nine to ten pounds per acre. This is even if you applied Lasso because we believe that the Lasso has dissipated to where it will not injure you milo stand. The 15th of June is the cut off date for planting peanuts and even this is late. Research does show that peanuts planted up to the 15th of June should beat milo or soybeans in a nor mal year as far as income is concerned. We strongly suggest that you start your leafspot program on peanuts now. I have suggested alternating the fungicides. Anything that you think will green your peanuts up in the fungicide line should be applied, and in many cases manganese should be mixed in with this material. Oh soybeans, we suggest planting two streaks to the row, 6 to 8 seed per foot, using a granular herbicide at planting in order to PUBLIC AUCTION THURSDAY, JUNE 14th 9 A. M.

This will give you an early canopy which will tend to hold out the corn earworm and armyworm in the fall. In tobacco, 70-75 pounds of nitrogen should produce a good crop of tobacco. If you have had 20 per cent of it to leach, we are talking about an additional 15 pounds. When you begin to top your tobacco you should see the condition of the tobacco plant and if it appears that there is too much fertilizer the plant should be topped as high as possible, somewhere around 24-26 leaves. If the fertilizer appears to have played out, you would top the tobacco at 17 leaves. This is a management decision. On vegetables such as watermelons, cantaloupes, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc., we strongly urge you to use a fungicide on these plants in order to control leaf diseases. Difolatan, Bravo or Benlate are excellent. We know that grass control is a real “hassle”, but in many cases you don’t have much choice but to spray peanuts with Dinitro at the rate of one quart to the acre. In corn, you have a choice of using drop nozzles using Evik and Lorox as a surfactant, or mixed with nitrogen. In soybeans, of course, if weeds become a problem we have Basagran, Dinitro, or Dynap that we can come over the top. We know that in most cases what we have planted has been hurt and what we have yet to plant in a normal year would be reduced in yield. This means that you should make the best management decisions available if you are going to realize the most benefit from your crop. If you have any questions, please call us.
