It is just like any other residual application. If you want it to be successful, you have to be committed to keeping the field wet. If you don t get a decent rain, flush. Just as a precaution, wheat fields are being sprayed all over the state for armyworms. If you have a rice field next to a wheat field, keep an eye on it.
Armyworms can really do a number on seedling rice.
The top of the field is showing some possible signs of zinc deficiency. If we see a response, we might include some zinc with our Permit application. We will apply 100 pounds of urea on this field today. If it does not rain tonight, we will flush the field tomorrow. I m hoping this shot of urea will give us a boost so the rice will get big enough to handle to water.
