No one needs to be told that 2021 has been a challenging year. You may be considering straight cutting a canola crop that is typically a swath variety. If so, there are a few things you want to consider first.

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.

If you’re in a growing area with warm, humid conditions or even in a dry area that has just the right amount of timely rains, your canola is at risk for blackleg.

Tank mixing herbicides for improved weed control and resistance management is an investment in crop yield and can lower future costs of weed control on your farm. In my experience, working with farmers for successful weed control includes a main herbicide with the addition of a herbicide tank-mix partner specific to the weeds in a field. The addition of a tank-mix partner improves weed control by additive benefit or synergistic benefit. An additive benefit is where the tank-mix partner controls weeds that are not controlled (or are only suppressed) by the main herbicide in the tank-mix. A synergistic benefit is where the control of a certain weed by the herbicide tank-mix is better than the control rating of either herbicide on its own.
