Transplanted sweet onion, leeks, Brassica and celeriac/celery that are older, larger or earlier-maturing varieties can be susceptible to these conditions. This may fully or partially vernalize some planting to the point where they bolt later this spring and summer. Periodic freezes and a prolonged period of cool temperatures in the spring will give biennial crops and winter/spring annual vegetable crops an accumulation of several hours in their vernalization range. Read your pesticide label carefully to determine any requirements for watering in your preemergence herbicide based on crop and soil-type. With the upcoming warm and dry weather through May, certain preemergence herbicides may require irrigation to be activated (for example, pendimethalin, ethalfluralin, napropamide, bensulide, etc.). The cost for the commercial sample bag is $18 and does not include shipping costs to the lab for analysis. Commercial soil sample bags can only be purchased in person at MSU Extension offices. Recommendations will be given at farm-scale (e.g., pounds per acre) and commercial clients are supported by MSU Extension educators specializing in particular crops. All MSU recommendations utilize the latest research and follow state laws and guidelines, including Generally Accepted Agricultural Management Practices (GAAMPs), enabling farms to stay within the provisions of the Michigan Right to Farm Act.Ĭommercial soil sample bags are appropriate for wildlife food plots as well as farm, landscape, nursery, athletic field and other commercial operations. MSU Extension staff will generate MSU recommendations and send those directly to the client. A&L will analyze soil samples and send results to MSU Extension. Home gardeners and commercial clients may once again purchase soil sample bags and mailers through MSU Extension and receive recommendations directly from MSU Extension.
