Four scenarios with "Yes" or "No" answers on application timing…
-
For canola fields that have not been sprayed this year, effective weed control may come down to one herbicide application – so make that application count by putting together an effective tank mix, choosing the higher herbicide application rate, and spraying under good conditions… -
Early season hail rarely has an impact on canola yield potential because hailed seedlings usually survive. Delayed maturity may result…
-
Improved crop moisture may have improved the yield potential of canola crops. If nutrient availability does not match this new yield potential, in-crop top-dressing of nitrogen or sulphur (or both) could provide an economic benefit. Find out how to do it…

The seeds might have germinated and the stems might be taking their sweet time in breaking the soil surface. Why so slow? Could be soil conditions. Could be seeding too deep. Could be lack of vigour… -
No major outbreaks to report this week, but include cutworms in the field scouting checklist, and watch flea beetles until crop reaches the 4-leaf stage…

You’re out scouting and you see gaps where canola plants should be. The following images show damage that often leads to seedling death (and disappearance) or show patterns that are clues that might explain the cause. Eight photos. Eight choices. Can you match the photos to the cause?…
