D2B—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, September 1,1984
Now is the time
to evaluate fields
NEWARK, DEL. This is an
excellent time for farmers to
evaluate their fields and decide
what to do in 1985. At this time of
year, many cultural and pest
problems are very visible, says
University of Delaware county
extension agent Derby Walker. By
identifying present problems,
growers can improve cropping
programs for next season.
One of the first things to check is
weed control. Identify existing
weeds and decide whether they’re
a serious problem, Walker advises.
Be sure to identify any new weeds
to determine whether they’re
likely to become troublesome in
the future.
“Knowing what weeds are in a
field makes it possible to choose
crops in which they can be con
trolled, as well as the herbicides
which will do the best job under
those particular conditions,” he
says. “It may be necessary to
change your cropping program in
order to bring some weeds under
control. Johnsongrass, for
example, is easier to control in
soybeans or vegetables than in
com.”
On the other hand, broadleaf
weeds like burcucumber and giant
ragweed are much easier to
control in com. With some specific
weed control programs the same
crop must be grown several years
in a row in a field before it will be
possible to rotate to other crops
without experiencing serious weed
problems.
When checking fields, also look
for signs of nematodes. Walker
says injury by this pest is often
confused with drought, water
damage, spider mites or nutrient
deficiencies. Since nematodes feed
on plant roots, reducing their
ability to take up nutrients, af
fected crops often look nutrient
deficient.
To determine the presence of
nematodes, collect a soil sample
and have it analyzed by an ex
tension plant pathologist. Also
examine the roots of affected
plants. It’s possible to see cyst
nematodes and root knot
nematodes with the naked eye or a

hand lens, but other kinds will need
laboratory identification. If
nematodes are present, the agent
advises planting resistant
varieties or changing the crop
rotation to bring this pest under
control.
Nutrients are another con
sideration. “If you find a
deficiency, decide how best to
correct it for this year, and also
determine how to avoid the
problem next year,” Walker says.
“Since some deficiencies are the
result of over- or under-liming, the
easiest solution may be to adjust
your liming program.”
This is an excellent year to check
for drainage problems in fields.
“You may want to evaluate the lay
of your land and decide whether
you need new ditches to drain off
excess water. This has been an
exceptionally wet season; most
years you won’t see nearly as
many problems of this sort,” the
agent says.
By reviewing field conditions
now and noting what they find,
growers can make sound
management decisions which will
benefit not only the 1985 season,
but those that follow.
