![]() ![]() When broadcasting without tillage, 0.3-0.5 inches of rain or irrigation are generally needed. Tillage usually does the job well if incorporated to at least a 3-inch depth (and into moisture). Urea needs to get into the soil to avoid significant volatilization losses.Here are a few notes to protect your investment: With dry soils and very little rain in the extended forecast, volatilization losses from surface-applied urea fertilizers is a concern. Medium range guidance calls for near normal mean temperatures and precipitation totals next week, but a return to warmer and drier than normal weather again by the third week in June.Ĭheck out the asparagus section below and the Michigan State University Extension article, " Dry forecast: How will that impact weed control?" about the impacts of this weather on herbicides.Potential evapotranspiration rates will continue at elevated levels through next week (approximately 0.20 inches per day).Low temperatures in the 40s to the low 50s through Friday warming to the 50s this weekend. High temperatures gradually warming from the low and mid-70s Wednesday, June 7, to the upper 70s and low 80s by Saturday.Scattered showers and thundershowers possible Saturday and Sunday.Continued fair and dry through Friday, June 9. ![]() This may be the year where you grow that 4 lb. Water your plants the day before spraying, hydration is important! Do not spray pesticides, fungicides, fertilizers or herbicides when it’s in the high 80’s or 90 you can damage your plants. Repeat fungicide treatments every 7 to 14 days. Clean your knife with rubbing alcohol before trimming the next plant to prevent the spread of the disease. A day after treatment, remove the lower branches with sharp razor blade knife. If possible time applications so that 12 hours of dry weather follows applications. ![]() Thoroughly spray the plant (bottoms of leaves also) with Bonide Liquid Copper Fungicide concentrate or Bonide Tomato & Vegetable. Tomatoes that have early blight require immediate attention before the disease takes over the plants.
