Wild garlic alone cost East Coast wheat growers millions of dollars last year, according to an estimate by University of Delaware extension crops marketing specialist, Roger Cinder. This loss came as a result pf market dockages for wheat contaminated by wild garlic bulblets, which were harvested with the grain. “This was the largest loss from wild garlic con tamination that we’ve ever had,” said Cinder, “but it could be even greater this year because we’re growing more wheat.” >Bei * * 4 1 j Rotor-Guard is at surface level 2) Rotor-tines work soil as desired Soil is not reversed Top soil stays on top, moisture below 3) Depth Control Roller provides precise working depth control firms soil when desired Result is ideal seedbed • Best Crop Start Ever • Be,,er Incorporation • Eliminate Tillage Trips • Weather and Tim « Flexibility • Combine Field Operations • Many R “Bged Dependable Models For more information, name of nearest Dealer or a FREE No Obligation Demonstration, mail coupon or call area Representative 215-356-5085. in GEMINI Hay-Saver "LIKE AN EXTRA DAY or SUNSHINE' Sun is the greatest for drying hay, but only when its shining When rams and wet weather hit, you need the re markable Gemini Hay-Saver to gently spread your wet crop over a wide area to prevent deterioration and speed drying Then when the hay is dry, you simply flip the Gemini Hay-Saver’s windrowing cage down and it makes the lightest, fluffiest windrow in the business Behind a Gemini Hay-Saver, you bale 25% faster This year, count on sunshine to make a top hay crop—and the Gemini Hay-Saver to save it University of Delaware extension agronomist, Dr William 11. Mitchell, says wild garlic can be controlled m small gram by the use of the herbicide 2,4-D. This material should be applied in a broadcast aftay only. It should be put on after the gram has fully tillered but before it begins to joint. This usually is when the grain is four to eight inches high. For Delaware grain growers, that means control measures must be taken soon, to be effective. Mitchell says two points of 2,4-D amine per acre can be used, or one and a half pints of the low volatile ester form of 2,4-D may be applied where drift from will not reach susceptible , I »» I 5 . a helps protect rotor-tines levels soil Name Address Town I am □ am not □ a farm operator or owner □ Student □ Please send me at no charge the all new full color, LELY-ROTERRA Brochure □ I would like to see a LELY-ROTERRA demonstrated Send following literature □ Broadcaster/Seeder □ Gemini Haysaver □ Liquid Manure Spreader PO.

The ester form can be mixed directly with liquid nitrogen, but the amine form must be mixed with four parts of water before it is added to the nitrogen. Container label directions should be closely followed in all cases. The objective of these control measures is to reduce aerial bulblet for mation of wild garlic. A single head of wild garlic may contain as many as 300 of these bulblets. The presence of sub stantial amounts of garlic in wheat automatically classifies it as feed wheat and it cannot be used for y v: - r*',_ • Your Best Buy in 75 Sizes available from 40" up to fit any 3 pt.

Ixiads with greater than 36 bulblcts were docked at even higher rates, says Cinder. Buyers reported finding as many as 600 bulblets per 1000 grams (roughly two pounds) in some grain samples last year. In some cases, a price was negotiated based on the feed value and price of cum at that time. In a few Delaware fields garlic contamination was so great that grain was not even harvested.
