Does your farm have <em>the
cleavers</em>?
In this episode of the <a
href="http://www.pulseschool.com">Pulse
School</a>, Ken Sapsford, research
assistant at the University of
Saskatchewan, explains issues
surrounding the abundance of cleavers
across the prairies. With the shift
towards no-till farming practices,
cleavers, which were once considered a
summer annual, are now overwintering,
particularly in the presence of good
snow cover. Besides being in the five to
eight whorl stage in spring, some of
these cleavers are also Group 2
resistant. The problem will only become
increasingly severe without management,
and Sapsford explains the need to find
alternative herbicides or risk losing
pulse acres.
