Seeding canola in Northeast Saskatchewan? Read more to learn local considerations for choosing your canola hybrid seed.
Choosing the right canola seed varieties for your farm is a decision that intersects with many factors and is heavily influenced by local geography. Read more for six variables for choosing canola seed in Central Alberta.
Last week on Behind the Seeds, I talked about the two kinds of blackleg resistance and reviewed the Major Gene Labelling System that outlines major gene resistance. If you haven’t yet, take a few minutes to read our last post. Genetic resistance to blackleg is a complex, but important topic to help preserve yield and ROI in your canola crop.
By now, you should have heard about the exciting new canola system launching in Canada this year. TruFlex™ canola with Roundup Ready® Technology maximizes yield potential by using elite germplasm combined with a second-generation glyphosate-tolerant trait that provides a wider spray window and broader flexibility over glyphosate application rates. This leads to superior weed control and ultimately better yields.
There are several things to consider when deciding on the right canola variety for your farm. Some place higher priority on shatter tolerance whereas others look more closely at disease resistance, or herbicide tolerance, or contract premium options. The decisive factor for most is what trait, or combination thereof, will allow them to reach their yield aspirations and ultimately give them the best return on investment. Here are some things to consider when looking at each of these variety characteristics:
WINNIPEG, MB – CANTERRA SEEDS is excited to announce CS2600 CR-T will be available to Western Canadian farmers for 2019 spring planting.
The Rapid Spread of Clubroot Clubroot is a soil-borne disease that affects cruciferous crops. Most importantly for Western Canadian farmers, it causes galls to grow on the roots of canola plants, choking out nutrients from the plant, ultimately killing it. Since the disease was found in Alberta in 2003, it has continued to spread across the Prairies.
CANTERRA SEEDS is excited to announce we have expanded our Clearfield® contracting opportunities for the upcoming season. CS2500 CL and CS2200 CL can be contracted at Bunge and Viterra locations. Learn more about these hybrids here - CS2500 CL, CS2200 CL
Company’s seed production unaffected by delayed Prairie Harvest For Immediate release November 5, 2018 – Winnipeg, MB - CANTERRA SEEDS is ensuring growers of the quality and consistency of its 2019 canola seed supply in light of recent concerns surrounding the delayed harvest across the Prairies. Growers can rest assured that their preferred CANTERRA SEEDS canola products, including the high-yielding clubroot resistant CS2000, will be available for seeding in 2019.
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.
