For in-crop management of cleavers in canola, both glyphosate and glufosinate work best on smaller spring-germinating plants. Early herbicide application is also best for crop yield. Use a rate and water volume suitable for cleavers. Find details in the provincial crop protection guides: crop protection for your province: Alberta Saskatchewan Manitoba… -
For fungicide to provide an economic level of blackleg suppression, the crop has to be susceptible to the disease, blackleg incidence and severity must be high (usually due to short canola rotations) and the fungicide has to go on early – cotyledon to 4-leaf stage – before visible symptoms appear… -

These five questions are based on content from the handy crop protection guides from Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. Manitoba and Saskatchewan guides are the same with different covers. Alberta has its own, often called the "Blue Book" Here are links to online posting for all three: Manitoba Guide to Field Crop Protection 2017 Saskatchewan Guide to Crop Protection 2017 Alberta…

The Canola Council of Canada agronomy team looked at this photo above and discussed whether the field should be sprayed now or in a few days after more weeds have emerged. Consensus was that the field could have been sprayed a few days earlier. Angela Brackenreed, who scouted the field, says the weeds just became visible in the past three…
