How many canola acres will not be seeded this year?

Biglentil, are you going back to canola?

We are very lucky, don't really see any feeding on our canola.
CL2026 Helix and Lumiderm. Seeded one thirds two thirds...mixed as bags were added to air cart.
Also, at least ours never froze this year, we usually seed too early.

LR344PC Liberty and Truflex RR treated with Prosper Everglo only as Lumiderm was not available at the time. Hit minus 3 last Thursday. Not sure if Lumiderm would of made the difference, as I'm seeing some bad damage on some lower ground we have Lumiderm on as well. It's funny the field I sowed North South across the road is completely fine. Last time I sow East West lol.

Regina flats, last time I saw the bugs was 3 years ago and a sample was shipped to Ottawa for identification. They classified it as a newly discovered breed of chinch beatle. We call em 'devil beatles' they develop a red black stripe up their backs as they mature. Saw a canola crop never come up because of them, they cut them off before they came through the crust. Lorsban was sprayed didnt work, as bugs are under the crust mostly. Heard of flax and durum down south needing reseeding because of them as well. A neonicotinoid seed treatment is essentially the only line of defence. The pictured above was sprayed with Sevin three nights ago for flea beetles. The only pesticide for flea beatles said to have a residual that translocates in the plant. Flea beatles died mostly.

Yep back to canola. Bring on d rain.

Yep back to canola all we need is a rain.

I guess you probably fertilized for canola.....

Let's be hopeful for a decent rain but my gut thinks the Ghetto will be skunked.

Drew's pretty pictures aren't very promising for my location. 😞

3 degrees low for next Wed. a lot can change in 6 days but . . .

One may have to switch to basagran for peas

We are going spraying tomorrow morning, right or wrong. Staging is there, possible weather delay puts them out of app staging. Did anyone notice the wind this spring? Going to have to squeeze spraying in between hurricanes and "possible" rain(lol),

Basagran(Bentazon) is stoopid expensive, better plan ahead because few will have it in stock. The Weed Bible says it's listing will be eliminated from the 2021 publication, good bye Bentazon..... Will probably only ever be able to get it in a co-pack soon.

Walked that one 80 acre pea field again tonight, it won't see a post emerge herbicide app. I was all concerned how I wasgoing to control the volunteer Clearfield canola from the previous crop, there is very very very very very little there. See what happens after it rains. Volunteer yellow mustard is growing on other pea fields so there was enough moisture to kick start the canola. I need to walk some other fields seeded to wheat that had Clearfield canola on them last year. Terminator gene?....lol

3 degrees at 3:30, yikes. Not good for spraying peas.
Wind starting tonight and windy tomorrow too and on and on and on.....
