Lauren Proulx MN Wheat, Agronomist, CCA You never see a good year coming… and On-Farm Research Coordinator

I learned this from a grower who was told it by his grandfather. Next year could be one you never forget.

We want to help growers and others prepare with everything we have learned from our first year of research in 2012 to this past season for making decisions in 2019.

2018 50 Wheat Trials o On-Combine Protein Analyzer > We had one analyzer in 2017 and two for this past growing season which were successful in generating a lot of data in mostly wheat fields

o Variable Rate Nitrogen > Eight locations this year and two last year comparing variably applied N to a flat rate of N

o Flag Leaf Fungicide/Intensive Fungicide Management > For growers currently applying fungicide at herbicide and scab timings, five locations from 2018

o Sulfur > Nine locations this year and three last year comparing 100 lbs of Ammonium Sulfate to no additional sulfur

o Topdressing N > 23 locations over the last two years and five this year testing 10 gallons of 28% UAN near the boot stage for yield and protein

o Seeding Rate Trials with Shelly, Linkert Bolles, Lang and SY Valda > 17 locations over the last two years and 12 this year looking at 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 million seeds per acre

o Plant Growth Regulator (PGR) – Palisade > 17 locations over the past two years and eight this year of with and without the PGR, Palisade

12 Soybean Trials o Oats Planted with Soybeans for IDC > Six locations looking at soybeans seeded with oats

o Variable Rate Soygreen for IDC > Four locations evaluating the iron chelate product, Soygreen

o Seeding Rate > Two locations this year and last year with populations from 80K to 180k

1 Tillage Trial o Conventional tillage vs vertical tillage

Page 8 Prairie Grains • Nov.-Dec. 2018 Our team also helped Dr. Amit Chatterjee with a trial brought on by the Minne- sota (MN) Department of Agriculture’s Nitrogen Fer- tilizer Rule turned Ground- water Protection Rule. Ni- trogen was monitored in 10 wheat fields across NW MN. For the upcoming growing season, we plan to drop Topdressing N and PGR- Palisade. We have already started putting in trials to test the new nitrification inhibitor for anhydrous am- monia, Centuro along with helping Amit monitor the N in these trials as well as at least five other locations.

We hope to add a trial look- ing at how well a wheat and soybean producer in NW MN can plant soybeans into fall seeded cereal rye i.e. seeding green.

These agronomic assessments are made by Syngenta scientists and reflect each variety’s relative performance within these characteristics through the 2018 crop year. Specific conditions may cause variations within those characteristics. These relative protection values are based on current pest and disease populations. These have been known to shift periodically and may cause changes in specific evaluations. Resistance to many other diseases and pests is sensitive to environmental conditions, plant development stages and the presence and intensity of other diseases which may result in specific evaluation inconsistencies. This chart is updated annually to reflect the most current trends.
