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.
