    pre-harvest glyphosate on Canola

    Has any one have experience with pre-harvest glyphosate on Canola in place of swathing?
    We have over 1/2 our Canola Swathed and about 1/4 combined already but a lot of swaths blew from the big winds we have been getting.
    The Canola that we have that is still standing has many different growth stages and we would have to swath it pretty low as it is not that tall. There would not be much stubble to hold the deaths in place.
    We are looking for other options and are thinking of pre-harvest glyphosate.

    Deaths should be swaths

      Don't really know anything about it, but I do know I don't seem to have any luck killing Liberty link canola on chem fallow with glyphosate. If that's what you have you may need a different product.

          Jag,

          The new Heat Roundup mix that is registered shound fix up that well! Very happy with how it worked on peas. Make sure you talk to Canola buyers to be sure they are ok with it. I understand MRL work is done on Canola and it is OK for export.

          Reglone works to but can give green seed issues if drys too fast in hot weather... which shouldn't be a problem now for a while.

          Was swathing is the rain last night... very different swath construction when wet... smpoth and woven together and rolled really nice...vs dry. Also when greener side better wind resistance as better rolling can be done. E/W best direction in our area. Some N/S were airborne Wednesday here.

            I straightcut mine ever year just let it ripen you have to have the right variety for that. the combine will get a good workout when you go to the greener spots and also watch the canola well when you have it in the bin

                I sprayed 3 Q's of RR with roundup and heat. Roundup worked great on the weeds, the heat did sfa. Rep said it wasn't far enough along to spray yet. I said if was any further I could have just waited 10 days and combined. I won't be using heat again, pre seed or pre harvest.

                  We had most of our Canola Swathed E/W and some swathed N/S and it all blew here as the wind come out of the South West.
                  One year we even swathed at an SW angle and the wind came out of the North and blew the swaths.
                  We won't be getting into the fields for a few days it is pretty muddy here right now. It is not quite ready for swathing but will be later this week.

                  I am thinking Roundup alone should work on CF canola. Not sure what to do yet but have a couple of days to think about it.

                    Sprayed HeatRR on bolting volunteer RRcanola we wanted residual canola weed control on highway Rite of way.

                    RR Canola Turned white for 2 days... then Canola proceeded to bloom... so we left it and harvested 25bu/ac on land that was left till harvest time. Agree it does little on RR Canola at any time except seedling stage. Kind of like a light frost.

                    BASF should call it frost instead of heat!
