Get serious Flea Beetle and cutworm protection. Get maximum early season insect protection.
When you've planted Lumiderm™ treated canola seed, your crop will gain an advantage over both cutworms and Flea Beetles. This enhanced protection is critical during the first few weeks of seedling growth, which will allow your canola crop to thrive. Not only does Lumiderm provide enhanced protection on both cutworms and Flea Beetles, it also has led to substantial increases in plant vigour and biomass.
Here’s what you need to know:
- Enhanced crucifer and striped Flea Beetle protection
- Excellent control of early season cutworms
- Excellent early season seedling stand establishment, vigour and biomass
- Up to 35 days of protection through the critical stages of seedling growth
- Novel class of chemistry (Group 28) for resistance management
- Lumiderm resulted in a positive yield advantage 78% of the time across western Canada1 with 35% less Flea Beetle damage2 (1.4 bu/ac average yield3 increase)
Ask your local seed supplier about Lumiderm and learn more at

Can removing humans from the equation improve the accuracy of soil sampling? A company in West Lafayette, Ind. is building robotic soil sampling machines on top of a Bobcat skid steer platform that autonomously works a field, pulling soil samples, and bagging them. But how did it stack up in capacity and accuracy when compared to a human sampler?

Stubble loss – where the lowest pods on soybean plants remain attached to the stubble after harvest – can be a costly and frustrating yield loss problem. And it’s a problem that is a particular concern with the soybean varieties grown on the Prairies. Low pod height causes one of the main header losses, so a Manitoba research project is determining whether plant growth regulators might offer an effective way to increase pod height.

Corn silage has great potential in Western Canada. But like any crop, producers must be aware of the challenges associated with growing, and plan carefully for next year’s season. Western Canadian corn producers don’t get the luxury of time that others have, so making the most of the time you have is critical, from planting to harvesting. “Corn hybrids respond very different by geography. Be sure that you’re growing a product that you know will perform and finish well in your area.”
