Control of Blackleg of Canola
The blackleg disease of canola, caused by Leptosphaeria maculans, has resulted in serious economic losses to canola crops on the Prairies.
Effect of Water Quality on Post-emergence Grass Herbicide Efficacy
Wild oats and green foxtail are two of the most troublesome annual weeds encountered by canola producers in western Canada. Several postemergence herbicides are available that will control these two weeds.
The Effect of Temperature and Precipitation on Yield and Quality of Canola Cultivars
Researchers conducted trials throughout the Prairie provinces from 1989 through 1991 to determine the relationship of canola yield and quality to temperature and precipitation received during the growing season.
No-till seeding of canola using the rotary harrow
In the early 1990s, canola was typically produced using soil incorporated herbicides and extensive seedbed preparation, often followed by post seeding packer/harrow operations.
