After an economically devastating summer, the effect of the 2021 drought lingers on. The potential carryover of herbicide residues can harm rotational crops this coming season. Assessing herbicide carryover is complex – the biggest factor in assessing the risk of herbicide carryover is 2021 in-season rainfall, which was limited in many areas of the Prairies. Other factors include rotational crop sensitivity, soil pH, herbicide breakdown rate and more.

At less than three per cent of Canadian farms, organic producers still represent a minority of the country’s growers. But with organic producers growing in numbers and organics earning “a seat at the grown-ups’ table,” research into the trickiest problems in organic agriculture, such as resilience to abiotic stresses, pest management and nutrient management, is keeping pace.

But the idea of progress is more important than perfection.

Weed control has typically focused on preventing yield loss, with the added benefit of controlling weed seed return to the seedbank. But new research could turn that approach on its head by developing an understanding of when weed control is critical to prevent the return of weed seeds to the seedbank. Traditional weed control considers the Critical Period of Weed Control, a time period within which the crop must remain weed-free. Researchers are now exploring the concept of the Critical Period of Weed Seed Control, the period during the growing season in which weed control will result in minimal weed seed production.
