Unbundled sclerotinia control
Staff/Makhteshim Agan of North America, Inc. (MANA), has received registration of Overall 240 SC fungicide for control of sclerotinia stem rot and alternaria black spot in canola. With iprodione, the same active ingredient as Rovral, Overall is a Group 2 dicarboximide fungicide with protective and eradicant activity.
“The biggest benefit that Overall provides canola growers is freedom from seed bundles and grower programs,” said Andrew Mann, MANA Canada’s general manager at Winnipeg, Manitoba. “Overall will be fairly priced to all canola growers whether they buy 160 acres or 5,000 acres of canola seed, and you don’t have to wait for your grower program rebate.”

The warmer weather, likely caused by La Niña, has already sent natural gas prices to 10-year lows. The forecast also calls for a drier-than-normal month across the southern U.S.
