Of all the agricultural production that happens in Canada, there are few images as distinctive and iconic as the bright yellow fields stretching as far as the eye can see when canola blooms in Western Canada.
Over 20 million acres of canola are seeded every year in Canada, 55 per cent of them in Saskatchewan. The total value of exports hovers around $12 billion annually. It’s an important crop – not just for Western Canada but for the Canadian economy.
Weed control is one of the most important yield-preserving mechanisms in canola. However herbicide-resistance, weed shifts, and other environmental challenges leave canola producers searching for effective herbicide solutions to protect yield potential.
These articles, videos, and products will help you find the best solutions for your operation – solutions that help you maximize yield and protect your fields from resistant weeds and weed shifts that can quickly overwhelm canola.
Using multiple modes of action in a pre-seed herbicide application with extended control is most effective at reducing populations of yield-robbing weeds such as cleavers, kochia, round-leaved mallow, stinkweed, volunteer canola, and many others.
Kochia and cleavers cause big headaches in canola. Research from the University of Saskatchewan shows that early, extended weed control is required to manage these yield-robbing weeds. Learn more about these weeds so you can maximize the yield of your canola crop.
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.
FMC has canola growers covered from pre-seed to post-harvest with products that control weeds and insect pests in canola.
Striped and crucifer flea beetles can cause significant damage in early seeded canola when it is small. Cutworms are equally opportunistic, clipping or severing stems of seedlings before they are strong enough to withstand the damage. Learn how to protect your crop from these three early season pests.
A strong Group 14 glyphosate partner for quick, enhanced burnoff of hard-to-control weeds including kochia (Group 2, 4 and 9 resistant), flixweed, lamb’s-quarters, redroot pigweed and cleavers (Group 2 and 4 resistant). Aim EC herbicide adds a novel mode of action to glyphosate for resistance management.
Uses two modes of action to deliver fast control of emerged broadleaf weeds including kochia, volunteer canola, lamb’s-quarters and flixweed and extended control of flushing cleavers. Command Charge herbicide is a powerful resistance management tool when tank-mixed with glyphosate for Groups 13, 14 and 9 modes of action.
Use pre-seed with or without glyphosate for powerful Group 13 control of flushing cleavers in front of canola. The alternative mode of action provides effective resistance management and it comes in a concentrated liquid formulation so no special application equipment or incorporation is required.
Introducing the new highly concentrated formulation of Coragen® MaX insecticide. Just one 2-litre jug of Coragen MaX insecticide covers an equal number of acres as the previous 6L jug of Coragen® insecticide, yet still provides the same powerful performance growers have come to rely on. It delivers 7 to 21 days of extended control* of grasshoppers, diamondback moth, bertha armyworms and others. You can spray day or night and it has minimal impact on many important beneficial insects and pollinators**.
Pounce 384EC insecticide is a top-performing solution for control of both striped AND crucifer flea beetles in canola. It is a synthetic pyrethroid that's stable in sunlight, which results in longer extended control versus other pyrethroids.
*Depending on rate and when weather and temperature are optimal.
**When applied at label rates. In line with Integrated Pest Management and Good Agricultural Practices, insecticide applications should be made when pollinators are not foraging to avoid unnecessary exposure.
