Last rainy days in Saskatoon favored these natural occurring aecias (Puccinia coronata) in buckthorn. These aecias will later release aeciospores that can infect nearby cereals, like oats.

🚨Attention!!! Do you have black medic? My grad student Logan is looking for fields to visit this summer to collect roots for a project looking at black medic and pulse diseases. Please reach out if you're willing to have him visit your field in SK or AB!🚨

Smokey and the Bandit turns 49 today. If it weren’t for a space saga from a galaxy far, far away, it would’ve been '77’s biggest hit. Burt Reynolds starred, but Jackie Gleason flat-out steals the movie. Now, gimme a diablo sandwich and a Dr Pepper, ’cause I’m in a goddamn hurry.

Research on canola plant density and flea beetle control supported by MCGA found #canola yield increased with increasing plant stand, regardless of flea beetle density, flea beetle control methods or geographic region. Insecticide seed treatment and foliar spray at threshold level produced similar yield.

Get the most out of high-priced phosphate this spring.canadianagronomist.ca/resour… This review of P fertilizer research encourages agronomists and farmers to implement the 4Rs of nutrient management using ‘right’ source, rate, placement and timing fertilization. @donflaten1

Strategic tillage. Sprayed field this morning, now very shallow swipes with this 8800 field cultivator in the tiny few kochia patches. Seed tomorrow. Not sure if it will work; don’t think we can spray away this weed

If you're seeding durum and waiting for the soil to warm up, consider this ultra-early durum seeding research canadianagronomist.ca/ultra-… @Agronomydoc Planting at a trigger temperature of 2 C had high and often more stable grain yields than planting at 10 C

Life sure leads you down unexpected roads. I've had an opportunity come up recently that was too good to walk away from. And so this summer I will be leaving my current position and my family and I will be moving to Norway. It's bittersweet leaving a career that I've built for 1/
