Striped flea beetles join crucifer on the the list of flea beetles controlled by Pounce 384EC insecticide in canola.

“This is an important registration for canola growers,” says Frances Boddy, product manager at FMC. “The incidence of striped flea beetles across the Prairies is rising. Flea beetles are becoming a chronic problem and growers have been searching for an effective foliar solution to support their seed treatment package.”

Problem: Multi-herbicide resistant waterhemp populations are showing up across Southern Ontario. Populations of this problem weed have recently shown Group 14 herbicide resistance.

Solution: Though there are populations of waterhemp with Group 14 resistance, Group 14 herbicides that are applied prior to planting/crop emergence (PRE) are still effective in controlling waterhemp.

Problem

In the fall, winter annuals compete with the establishing winter wheat crop and have a head start next season, making spring weed control more difficult.

Problem

Wild oats are an annual grassy weed many associate with the Prairies. Group 1 resistant populations have been found in Ontario, eliminating the primary control option for wild oats in spring cereals.

Problem

Scentless Chamomile emerges throughout the growing season and can change its lifecycle depending on germination date, growing as an annual, biennial or perennial. Season long weed control is required to manage this problem weed.

Problem

A single common chickweed plant can produce up to 20,000 seeds, can overwinter along with winter wheat, and can be very competitive. If left unchecked, Common Chickweed can lead to yield losses of up to 32% in winter wheat.  

Problem: Soybean development and yield can be affected by weeds right from the start.  Developing soybeans are heavily influenced by what’s going on around them and can sense the presence of weeds even before they’re emerged.

Question

Why would I need help from beneficial insects if I am applying an insecticide? Won’t the Western bean cutworm be killed by the insecticide?

Problem

It can be difficult to decide when to spray insecticide and which fields are at highest risk of WBC infestation that can hurt yield and increase DON levels.

Focus Herbicide has now been registered for fall usage in front of lentils, spring wheat, winter wheat, corn and soybeans. Set yourself up for success in the spring by controlling the nutrient-stealing weeds this fall.
