Peas are a great nitrogen-fixing crop option that can improve soil health. Growing peas allows a grower to introduce different herbicide groups into their herbicide rotation plan.
Let’s look at four ways to get the most out of your field pea crop this year.
Rather than relying on using refined nitrogen in peas, inoculants are a great tool to promote nodulation and, as a result, nitrogen fixation. Inoculants can be applied as a liquid or peat product directly on seed or alternatively granular inoculants can be applied in furrow during planting.
FBN offers liquid and granular inoculants to fit most needs, maximizing inoculation and ensuring N fixation:
Rolling peas after planting helps bury rocks and provides a uniform seedbed aiding with plant establishment and helping prepare the field for harvest.
Season-long weed control in peas can be challenging, so using a residual product can help extend efficacy.
Benz combines two effective modes of action: Imazamox (Group 2) and Bentazon (Group 6). This herbicide provides contact as well as residual control on many weeds in field peas.
Benz offers broadleaf and grass weed control in field peas and has equivalent or higher efficiency comparable to other commercial products.
Benz provides great control of volunteer canola (all types) and all (even herbicide resistant) wild mustard, as well as control of cleavers and kochia and suppression of wild buckwheat.
Find out how to identify weeds, plant disease, and insects, when they typically emerge, and how to chemically manage them in our Pest Solutions pages.
For best grassy weed control in peas, applying a tank mix of Pro Ag UAN 28-0-0 with Benz is recommended.
Augmenting fertility, if required, and providing micronutrients that help support plant health and alleviate post-herbicide application stress, Afterburner 3-15-15 + Mg helps plants quickly recover from herbicide application.
There are multiple tools available to help manage and mitigate anticipated disease pressure in peas. FBN offers effective pulse fungicides that control the most damaging diseases in peas, while maximizing a growers ROI potential.
Sharda Fungtion SC and Preach Fungicide are strobilurons to control key pulse diseases such as ascochyta and anthracnose.
