Neonics still best flea beetle option

By
Neonicotinoids used as a seed treatment remain the safest and most effective tool for managing flea beetles, an entomologist says. Neonicotinoids are a widely used class of insecticides available since the 1990s. Concerns about their environmental impact emerged in the early 2000s, when studies showed they caused harm to honeybees and other pollinators. These findings[...]

SCN: The new tough guy on the block

By
Soybeans arrived in Manitoba in the early 20th century, but it took another 100 years for them to become a major crop. Now, almost two decades into the 21st century, an old enemy from the homeland has finally followed. Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is already a serious pest in the soybean belt of the American Midwest. It is[...]

An inoculation against blackleg

By
A new biological control strategy could be a game changer in the battle against blackleg in canola. The fungal infection that has a yield-destroying effect on canola crops was first discovered in Saskatchewan in 1975 and eventually spread across the country. Blackleg is the result of the interaction between two closely related fungal species, Leptosphaeria[...]

Getting a leg up on blackleg

By
New genomic research from Agriculture and Agri-food Canada (AAFC) could give agronomists a leg up in the fight against blackleg in canola. Blackleg (Leptosphaeria maculans) is a severe fungal disease of canola plants, and with canola generating about one-quarter of all farm crop receipts in Canada, it is a serious threat to producers. The new research was[...]

Cut canola later for higher yield

By
The Canola Council of Canada is encouraging farmers to hold off on harvesting canola to improve yield. Research in the early 2000s showed that canola swathed at 60-70 per cent seed colour change (SCC) yielded 11 per cent more than fields swathed at 30-40 per cent. That research was reinforced in 2013, when the Indian[...]

Crowdsourcing canola counts

By
Self-improvement is tricky without looking outward for perspective. A program launched last year by the Canola Council of Canada (CCC) aims to give canola growers that perspective on a massive scale. The CCC’s ‘Canola Counts’ survey is now into its second year and the data coming in is already providing good insights for agronomists, says[...]

With canola prices on the rise, time to make a marketing plan

By
With canola prices the highest they’ve been in two years, and the added stress of harvest, it’s a good idea to have a marketing plan, says Darren Bond, farm enterprise management specialist with Manitoba Agriculture and Resource Development (MARD) in Teulon. “We have to take that step back when we are marketing our grain and[...]

The canola price puzzle

By
Many brush off the effect of China’s de facto ban on Canadian canola, pointing to record prices and huge global exports. But that’s a mistake, according to a new study commissioned by the Canola Council of Canada. LeftField Commodity Research delved a bit deeper for the council and found that between March 6, 2019 and[...]

Crusted soil hampers canola emergence

By
Some farmers are seeding canola all over again as crusting kept the crop from emerging the first time. “It was so fun the first time we’re going to do it again,” wrote Crystal City farmer Landon Friesen on Twitter. Crusting after heavy rain led to him re-seeding 1,000 acres of canola, he told the Co-operator.[...]
