Chlorothalonil (found in Daconil and Fung-onil) is commonly recommended. If your tree is severely infected, it may take applications like this for 2-3 years in a row. Fungicide should be applied when the new growth is half grown with a second application 3-4 weeks later. In spruces, needle cast can cause the yellow to reddish brown color of needles in the fall that remain that way in the spring. Dothistroma needle blight can be prevented in mid-May and a second application in mid-June with Copper salts of fatty and rosin acids and Bordeaux mixture. Tip blight is best prevented in late April-early May with active ingredients of Propiconazole (found in Fertiloam liquid systemic fungicide), Copper Salts of Fatty & Rosin Acids (sometimes listed as copper soap such as Bonide liquid copper fungicide and other liquid copper formulations), or Bordeaux mixture. In Austrian and Ponderosa pines, tip blight (where tips die) and dothistroma needle blight (where needles turn brown and die) can be prevented with fungicide applications. It’s important to read the product label to ensure it’s safe to use on the specific plant/tree you wish to treat as some copper products can harm plants. For home-owner use for trees in landscapes, I will share what I’ve seen sold in our local stores. For windbreak situations of cedars and pines, some ag retailers have carried Tenn-Cop 5E or Camelot. None of the options I list are exhaustive and not meant as endorsement.
Spring is the time to be spraying trees with preventive fungicides with timing depending on the disease. Nebraska Farm Hotline/Rural Response Hotline: 80.Įvergreen Tree Diseases: The wet springs the past several years have led to an increase of needle blights.

Free farm finance and legal clinics for May can be found at. There are a number of resources at for emergency depopulation of livestock facilities. My prayers go out to livestock and poultry producers I just can’t imagine. Looking forward to these additional studies to add to the research base which we talked about in this CropWatch article last year. Growers are looking at impacts of different mixes, corn populations, row direction, and number of rows interseeded (1 vs. There’s an Upper Big Blue NRD soil health project with partners of The Nature Conservancy, NRCS, and Extension where we will have 6 on-farm research studies and several other demos of interseeding this year. That whole website holds good information.
An easy to understand site for herbicide impacts to covers is at. broadcast, plan to seed between V2-V5, and think about your herbicide program before trying this. Perhaps the three biggest things we’ve learned are to make sure the seed is in the ground vs. Some have asked about interseeding covers into early vegetative corn or soybean. The latest in pheromone trapping cutworm counts across the State can be found at. Corn and soybean are also emerging fairly quickly with these warmer temps. I’m starting to see grass and broadleaf weeds coming through on ground that didn’t receive moisture to get the herbicide activated. That was a topic of concern I was hearing from both growers and ag industry last week, thus why it was recommended that some start pivots. For pre- herbicides, it is important to have 0.5-0.75” of moisture within a week of applying them for activation.
Like many of you, am also praying for rain. Planting season has rolled on this year with large planting progress made in short time! I’m grateful for the general warming trend with no cold snaps unlike so many recent years.
