Worst experience was in early years of canola growing before insecticide seed treatment.
Don't think rotations make a lot of difference, avoid canola on canola stubble.
Thankful for seed treatments that allow us to avoid spraying most years.

In my agronomy days, I remember I checked a field for a guy who seeded canola with no seed treatment. When I when out there, they basically had eaten 85 to 90 percent of what was emerged. I never saw, nor have I even seen anything like it. We sprayed decis on it and it still turned out to be a pretty decent crop. I think your doing the right thing.

You might be right I know of untreated seed that is ass kicking the blue shit. Blue shit might get sprayed twice Pounce and with Slevin this time, its got that halo bullshit which is caused by the seed treat according to Bayer.

Apparently fall high speed discing can help with fleas in the following crop year. Anyone having trouble with fleas in fields that were disced last fall?

Well come to think of it, no. We have not had to spray an acre for beetles . Actually just took back all the Matador two days ago just in case someone else needs it .
