Low Levels of Blackleg Can Rob 20% of Your Canola Yield
Posted by CANTERRA on
All canola growers are aware of blackleg but its impact can sometimes be under-estimated. Although genetic resistance and general understanding of the disease has improved in recent years, there were still some significant gaps that made it difficult to manage the disease with any precision. ‘Grow an ‘R’ rated variety and you should be fine’ used to be the best standard recommendation when it came to variety selection. Fortunately, now there are more tools that are available to growers that are better at keeping the disease in check, to realize even bigger gains.

CS2000 Compared to L241C
Posted by CANTERRA SEEDS on
Recently, InVigor canola sent a marketing piece to farmers in Western Canada. It looked like this: Inside there are summaries of their Demonstration Strip Trial (DST) trials from 2017, including comparisons of CS2000, the clubroot resistant hybrid from CANTERRA SEEDS. It's not surprising that BASF sees CS2000 as the hybrid to beat. It's been a top product in the clubroot region of Alberta since its launch. The combination of yield, maturity and unique disease resistance simply cannot be beat. But when we take a closer look at the yield data they included, we are concerned about the way CS2000 is being represented.

Wheat Standability in the Snow
Posted by Cosmin Badea on
Last week the Peace Region received an early dump of snow. Much of the crop is still in the field to be harvested. Amidst the snow, an interesting result that was observed by Jesse Meyer, our Peace Region Territory Manager, was the standability of AAC Connery. Compared to the other varieties on his farm, AAC Connery stood up the best, and was largely unaffected by the snow. This will allow farmers to get back in the field sooner, and will also help with grade retention.
