Mid-Harvest Field Report
Joe Catron, Yakima Chief Hops Experimental Hops Manager, is sharing a crop update from the hop fields of the Yakima Valley. They are about 65% of the way through their Pacific Northwest hop harvest. Simcoe and Citra are all picked, with Mosaic just about wrapped up. Talus , Idaho 7 and HBC 586 are next in line and currently being harvested. As they finish up harvest for aroma hop varieties, growers are letting the alpha hop varieties continue to develop. Some growers are in a unique position this year where they will actually have a couple days off between aroma hop harvest and alpha hop harvest.

"Propane flame weeding offers a highly efficient and organic alternative to herbicides or tedious manual labor. According to field studies funded by the Propane Education and Research Council, flame weeding is up to 90% effective against weeds by using intense heat to rupture plant cells, causing the weeds to wither and die. Approved for certified organic farming operations, propane flame weeding also avoids the disruption of essential soil nutrients, which commonly occurs with cultivation and tillage weed control methods."

This article was initially published on The Wine Industry Advisor as part of a series on biological control and Integrated Pest Management written by UAV-IQ Precision Agriculture. Grape growers are facing increased threats from invasive insect pests. The issue with those non-native species is that there are often no naturally occurring enemies capable of controlling them and new Integrated Pest Management (IPM) protocols might take years to be developed, forcing growers to rely on broad-spectrum insecticides until more ecologically friendly alternatives are available. A notable example of an invasive pest affecting California vineyards is the vine mealybug, which is a major pest of grape vines not only because of the damage they can cause to the fruit but also for the viruses they transmit, such as the grape leafroll-associated virus. Vine mealybug infestation on a grape clusterTo discuss the latest knowledge on these topics, I reached out to Kent Daane, an entomologist and cooperative extension specialist at the University of California, Berkeley...

By
Brady Shortell
Published Oct 18, 2020
Looking at planting triticale with hairy vetch and cow peas for a cover crop next year for a cash crop or corn to be planted late May 2021 using a roller crimper to terminate the cover crop before plant.
It’s October 18th, I won’t be able to plant until the 22nd. Night time temps have fluctuated from mid 30s to high 20s no consistency yet. Some nights stay closer to 40. Highs are in the 70s and 80s.
Am I too late for any of my covers?
Any suggestions on planting rates?
Will triticale terminate properly if I follow the method used for Rye, waiting until the entire field is dropping pollen?
