Wet Weather Narrowed Application Window

In areas with higher-than-average rainfall, Syngenta Agronomic Service Rep Jason Snell says there may have been an impact on residual herbicide activity. “Sometimes their application windows got smaller than they normally would.” Fall fertilizer decisions are still being made. “We may see more holding off on fall application of fertilizer due to the prices; some guys had some tougher yields, and everybody was dealing with lower prices, which may affect cash flow as well,” said Snell. “That may reduce some of these fall applications, but I would say it’s a small percentage. Most guys that I’ve seen that do a lot of fall fertilizer are going to continue to do that.”
