Kochia is spreading quickly, including biotypes that are resistant to multiple herbicide groups. Cleavers are on the rise too through the dark brown, black and grey wooded soil zones. A well-timed early season control can make an enormous difference in controlling both of these weeds.

Weed resistance to herbicides has been a reality for a long time. The discovery of glyphosate-resistant kochia biotypes is spreading rapidly across Western Canada. Get ahead in your resistance management by using multiple modes of action and by practicing herbicide layering.

Aim® EC herbicide is a powerful and versatile Group 14 herbicide that is the cornerstone of an effective pre-seed weed control program.

If you’re planning to add another mode of action or two to your spring glyphosate application, it’s best to choose unique modes of action that give you the freedom to use the in-crop options that fit your farm.

Most common under good soil moisture conditions, Aphanomyces root rot is a soil-borne disease that continues to affect pea and lentil crops in Western Canada. It is very difficult to identify and isolate using conventional methods and often requires a DNA test to confirm.

As overseas demand for Canadian pulse crops expands, the number of acres planted with the crop is anticipated to grow throughout the prairie provinces in 2024. This means that it will be  critical that growers keep weeds from interfering with crop growth and yield.  

When it comes to effectively controlling weeds in canola, it’s critical to get them when they are small, easier to control and before they compete with the crop for moisture, sunlight and nutrients. That's why many growers are choosing to apply a complete solution herbicide prior to seeding. A complete solution herbicide brings both burnoff and extended weed control – making it the perfect choice to launch a weed-free spring.
