Ontario Corn Development Well Ahead of Normal
06.09.2010 10:57 "Agro Perspectiva" (Kyiv) —
The Ontario corn crop remains well ahead of normal development with much of the crop now reaching ½ milk line, according to the latest provincial crop report. Meanwhile, early winter wheat planting is now underway.
Highlights of the report follow below;
Corn:
Corn is dramatically ahead of normal in terms of maturity. Much of the crop has reached the one-half milk line. Silage moistures are dropping at 0.75 to 1.0 point per day. Corn dry down has been enhanced in some areas by very dry soil conditions. In some cases stressed areas of the field have gone through rapid desiccation during the high temperatures experienced August 28 to September 1.
Winter Wheat:
Early planting of winter wheat is underway following canola or edible bean harvest. Soil conditions are dry in some areas.
Spring cereals:
Harvest is finally complete. Fusarium in wheat and crown rust in oat plagued the crop, with yields often below average despite early planting and sufficient moisture. Warm temperatures throughout grainfill further reduced yields in some areas.
