Seed Treatment Recommendations for Grain Crops in Western Canada
Seed treatment is urged as cheap crop insurance against rising grain smut losses in 1946. Saskatchewan and Alberta plant pathologists advise treating all wheat, oats and barley seed unless tested and found free of smut, with flax seed requiring mercury dusting. Use 4½ ounces per bushel for wheat oats and barley and 1½ ounces per bushel for flax. allow 24 hours before sowing and avoid formalin on certain varieties. Follow label directions when using mercury dust and contact Line Elevators Farm Service, Winnipeg for more information.
