@Bayer4CropsCA This would be great to read but is not legible at all...

Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a handy side-by-side comparison chart that showed you all the #cerealherbicide options and the weeds they control? We thought so!

@John__Alexiou Is red clover going on in the spring?

Pretty happy with my wheat! 3rd year planting wheat in the #ottawavalley 2 years strong with #twinrow wheat! Looking forward to July 2021!!!

@Aaron_Bowman_ @woody_VA Not yet, I will share it with you once I’m finished up

@bretthilker @woody_VA This published? If so can you send the link

I would be interesting to see if there's any difference in tiller numbers between 7.5" drilled wheat and the twin row 30" wheat. Both planted with a day or two at about 180k population

@Aaron_Bowman_ @woody_VA @Aaron_Bowman_ @woody_VA there is a WW variety trial being done now at ERS looking at this in twin row 15”. My MSc work on twin row with RC suggests that more light=less variability in biomass which=more predictable N-credits, but no increase in plants/area.

@woody_VA You have a red clover comparison in the 30s?

Alright, let's settle this.

This recent heat wave sure has us scrambling! Pre’s are all on for the season with some early post apps on the horizon. #bayer #dekalb

@maize_canada Wow these look awesome! How was the clover emergence?

As part of our #FoodFromThought research we are looking at the potential of twin-row wheat as a management strategic for more uniform frost seeded red clover stands. Wow are there some differences in canopy architecture showing up.... both are twin rows...

@FtardifUofG @GrainFarmers @AgInnovationON @canopeoapp Awesome stuff! Look forward to seeing some updates @FtardifUofG

@Aaron_Bowman_ @byron1good1 The old plastic ones were wrist jammers on those frosty mornings haha, glad the frost seeding went well!

@bretthilker @byron1good1 What you did not like the old hard plastic ones lol....

#plant20 underway at Elora Research Station. Red clover in twin row wheat trial.

@AcresFarms Awesome stuff! What is your plant population?

First twin row wheat in the Ottawa valley going in the ground today!

@WheatPete @maize_canada @UofG_FfT Thanks Peter, much appreciated!

@maize_canada @bretthilker @UofG_FfT Absolutely! Not red clover trials, but would add to the wheat yield data.

The red clover plot from the twin row (right pic) is stunning compared to conventional row spacing (left pic) Can’t wait to see the numbers... @bretthilker @UofG_FfT

@WheatPete @maize_canada @UofG_FfT Wheat was seeded September 28 in Waterloo and October 12 in Elora, 2018

@maize_canada @bretthilker @UofG_FfT When was the wheat seeded? Late seeded wheat 2018 had intercrop soybeans. Early seeded nothing. All late seeded 2019, soybeans are a crop.

@maize_canada @UofG_FfT Twin-row stand in the the second location also showing great uniformity across all reps...numbers are coming!

@ihboy86 @maize_canada @thewheatteam @UofG_FfT Results on nitrogen differences are spotty but I found some old literature that outlines it fairly well. Common and Ottawa RC is DC and Norlac RC is SC...

@maize_canada @thewheatteam @UofG_FfT Do you have any data comparing DC RC vs SC RC for nitrogen fixation and root mass production or total carbon amt.?

variable red clover stands in winter wheat are one reason farmers are walking away from this cover crop option. A @UofG_FfT project may have made a breakthrough... twin-row wheat, with no loss in yield, but huge gains in single-cut red clover establishment

@ihboy86 @maize_canada @thewheatteam @UofG_FfT I came across of couple of things. In the seeding year, SC produces lower top growth DM yield but higher root yield at fall termination vs. DC. Literature points to no difference in DM between varieties but differences in where the DM is allocated

Fantastic catch of clovers in my Waterloo location. Twin-row planted winter wheat providing extra light for clover establishment while promoting tillering on wheat. The non shade tolerant Alsike clover has responded well. Yield results soon to come #ontag
