Canola School: Pre-seed weed control, kochia management, and herbicide rotation (Part 2 of 2)
"Kochia continues to spread beyond its traditional areas, bringing resistance to multiple herbicide groups. This shift may require growers to rethink their canola systems, including variety selection."
"If you don't go with a pre seed and you skip it... the problem is going to get ahead of you. Layering multiple modes of action, including Groups 14, 15, 4, and 27, is essential to stay ahead of resistance."
"Reviewing past scouting reports as part of pre-season planning can help identify recurring weed issues and better inform both crop and herbicide decisions."
Successful crop management begins before seeding, with critical decisions impacting the growing season. Key considerations include weed management, herbicide strategies, and utilizing past field data. Kochia's spread necessitates rethinking canola systems, potentially shifting to dual-trait hybrids or LibertyLink systems. Pre-seed burn-off is vital, as early-germinating weeds can be overlooked but challenging to control later. Layering multiple modes of action is recommended to combat resistance. Reviewing past scouting reports aids in identifying recurring weed issues and informs crop and herbicide choices.
