  • 212-217 Swathing is still more common in the northern United States and Canada than regions with longer growing seasons where standing grain crops can be harvested directly by combines. (wikipedia.org)
  • Alternatively, chemical desiccation of weedy or irregularly ripe standing crops with glyphosate, paraquat or diquat has been used to enable direct combining. (wikipedia.org)
  • Short or thin crops will not produce a windrow that rolls nicely, and may not have the stubble to hold that windrow and prevent it from blowing. (canolacouncil.org)
  • If desiccation (crop and weed dry-down) is the goal for straight combining, wait until just before harvest - for two reasons: (1) Crops may dry down naturally, especially if conditions are warm and dry. (canolacouncil.org)
  • Enormous reductions in the amount of seed set by wild radish and 6 other broadleaf weeds in winter cereal crops before harvest. (specialistsales.com.au)
  • Sharpen Herbicide provides rapid and thorough desiccation of chickpeas and other pulse crops to streamline harvesting plus excellent fallow establishment and maintenance through fast knockdown of 32 broadleaf weeds. (specialistsales.com.au)
  • Moderate to heavy infestations of annual or grassy weeds should be sprayed out pre-harvest. (canolacouncil.org)
  • Good control can be provided pre-harvest for perennial weeds as well. (canolacouncil.org)
  • If waiting for post-harvest, weeds need four to six weeks of regrowth after harvest and may need three times the active ingredient for the same control. (canolacouncil.org)
  • The reel helps cut crop fall neatly onto a canvas or auger conveyor which deposits it into a windrow with stems aligned and supported above the ground by the stubble. (wikipedia.org)
  • Consider pre-harvest aids or swathing for a field with uneven growth stages. (canolacouncil.org)
  • Pre-harvest aids (see the next section) are not a treatment for uneven fields. (canolacouncil.org)
  • It is mostly related to how long the seed is left to mature prior to harvest," says Brackenreed. (topcropmanager.com)
  • For grains, as combines replaced threshing machines, the swather introduced an optional step in the harvesting process to provide for the drying time that binding formerly afforded. (wikipedia.org)
  • Severely lodged or excessively branched canopies may be candidates for straight combining because, if swathed, the low cut may leave minimal stubble to anchor swaths in high winds. (canolacouncil.org)
  • Recent rains have unfortunately shut down harvest for a little while, although the moisture replenishment is welcome. (manitobapulse.ca)
  • If considering pre-harvest weed control, apply when seed moisture is less than 30%, stems are green or brown, 80 to 90% leaf loss has occurred and pods are brown. (manitobapulse.ca)
  • Avoid harvesting soybeans at less than 13% moisture to avoid seed damage. (manitobapulse.ca)
  • Consult the MPSG Soybean Maturity Guide to help time your harvest. (manitobapulse.ca)
  • Read more about soybean harvest for information on soybean maturity, pre-harvest weed control and desiccation timing. (manitobapulse.ca)
  • Soybean yield loss at harvest can add up, stemming mainly from losses at the header. (manitobapulse.ca)
  • Use the Bean App Harvest Loss Assessor to calculate soybean yield loss based on the number of seeds on the ground. (manitobapulse.ca)
  • Some reports of early seeded soybean fields being harvested but less than five per cent. (topcropmanager.com)

  • Harvest progress sits at 51 per cent complete across Manitoba, which is ahead of the five-year average (42 per cent), according to the province's Sept. 12 crop report. (topcropmanager.com)
  • Producers continued with pre-harvest on later seeded cereals and the canola crop. (topcropmanager.com)
  • Faba beans range from R5 to R8 across the province and harvest is currently underway. (manitobapulse.ca)
  • Canola harvest is nicely underway across the region and is approximately 15 per cent complete and just starting in The Pas. (topcropmanager.com)
  • The more advanced soybeans are earlier maturing varieties that are now a week or two away from harvest. (manitobapulse.ca)
  • Measure losses regularly during harvest to optimize your combine settings. (manitobapulse.ca)
  • Fall rye and winter wheat harvest is complete in the southwest and yields look to be average with good quality. (topcropmanager.com)
  • Yields look to be average to slightly above average with 13.5 per cent protein on the harvested fields. (topcropmanager.com)
