Particularly in Alberta, there are questions about the use of herbicides to dry down or desiccate glyphosate-tolerant canola plants, either an entire canola field or when present as weeds in cereal crops. There are no products registered as a desiccant on glyphosate-tolerant canola except Reglone. ALWAYS be Export Ready and avoid the use of unregistered products for canola desiccation or dry down. There are no products registered for the control of glyphosate-tolerant canola in cereals. Glyphosate can be used to assist with dry down of the cereal but the tolerant-volunteers will remain uncontrolled.
