Use patience to assess winter wheat survival

Winter wheat can help diversify a crop rotation, but what happens when spring seeding time comes and the crop has yet to appear? Seasoned winter wheat growers advise that the crop is more resilient than many expect, and with tools to monitor for winterkill conditions and ways to test the crop’s health, the risks of growing winter wheat on the Prairies are small. Just remember, patience will pay off. » Learn more
 

Nutrient requirements and Prairie soils

Managing phosphorus, potassium and sulphur is an important part of optimizing cereal crop yields. Many Prairie soils are either deficient in plant-available forms of these nutrients, or the crop’s needs make a steady supply necessary during the growing period. Developing a comprehensive fertilization plan at the start of the season will not only benefit the crop, but also leave more time to focus on getting the work done. » Learn more

Pre-seed weed control 101

After a long winter, you’re eager to start seeding. But to set yourself up for a successful canola harvest you should be thinking about pre-seed weed control.

To reduce competition from weeds, it’s best to start early. A pre-seed burn-off can help control invasive annual weeds, especially during a warm and wet spring when weeds tend to grow faster.

Protect your canola from the start with powerful tools, such as Prospect, a new pre-seed herbicide from Corteva Agriscience. Tank mixed with glyphosate, it provides enhanced control on weeds such as cleavers, hemp-nettle and narrow-leaved hawk’s beard. Visit Prospect.Corteva.ca to learn more.
