Faunsdale, AL | Whatever it is it’s practically awn free.
Only triticale varieties I’ve ever grown had long awns. This is a seed contaminant at this point. No dry fertilizer spread on this land and no small grains grown in a decade or more.
These are rare, maybe 4-5 plants per acre. Seem to be healthy. Fungicide must have protected it.
The triticale varieties I grew were for forage and we didn’t get it all chopped. No fungicide applied. Had a black smut that seriously infected one of the varieties. Only time I had ever seen anything that bad was some barley we grew for grain when I was a child (55 years ago). Combine was an open station JD 95b. Operator looked like they were made up with black face for an inappropriate comedy routine. | |
