Volunteers from the previous crop pose major weed challenges after severe hail last September in south-west Manitoba. The guide to crop protection lists recommended herbicides for volunteer canola, flax, and cereals, with notes on rates, tank mixes, and coverage. Contact Manitoba Agriculture offices for details.
June is a busy month for farmers as seeding finishes and spraying begins. All farmers enrolled in Revenue or Crop Insurance must return the Seeded Acreage Report to the crop insurance office by June 30 to avoid a late filing penalty and inspection fees.
Canola fields should be scouted for Blackleg using rosette stage symptoms. Dirty white lesions with pepper-like black pycnidia appear on leaves. Tilt is registered to control Blackleg from two leaf to bolting, suppressing disease up to three weeks. Rate 0.2 L per acre, about $12.75 per acre plus application, usable by ground or air.
An agronomy update describes Downey Mildew as prevalent in canola last year, often confused with Blackleg. Downey Mildew shows a yellow blotch on the upper leaf surface, white mold on the underside, and may form brown lesions, but it causes no economic losses and requires no control measures.
Starting last week office hours change for the summer months. I will be in the office Mondays 8 and Thursday mornings, weather permitting, otherwise out in the field to keep up with the spray program. Messages are taken by the answering service and I will return calls when possible. Two common plants, yellow whitlow grass and pygmy flower, are not serious. spring cultivation or light phenoxy or Roundup sprays will control them. Any questions phone 7645-2128.
