Most of Delaware and parts of Maryland received a substantial amount of rain
this past week, but temperatures remain cool. Wheat across Delaware is
between Feekes 6 and 8, and I expect significant growth progress based on
increasing temperatures and light showers ahead. Some f oliar diseases are
popping up, but overall levels are low.
Barley is starting to come out of boot in many parts of the state. I do not
currently recommend an application for FHB management but if you choose to
make an application ensure that at least 35% of your main tillers have
emerged fully from the boot. Those of you double cropping to lima beans
should be aware of label restrictions to Prosaro and Caramba. Proline is a
good alternative in these instances.
