While proper identification of prominent weed species at early stages in their development is an essential part of managing weed populations in a canola field, additional topics are important for effective weed management. This includes herbicide timing, herbicide rotation and assessment of herbicide residue and drift injury, and consideration of these strategies as part of an integrated weed management program.
