Two-hit wonder. Does your canola really need a second in-crop herbicide application? Only certain circumstances — like the one photographed above — make it worthwhile.
Summer heat A new PAMI project will look into summer effects on stored canola, and help set best practices to prevent heating: Aerate to warm it, turn it to warm it, or just leave it cold? Have you checked stored canola lately?
