Field Days are our favourite! 🌱

Thanks to Lakeland College for hosting another great day of learning, conversation and connection.

Keith Gabert, Provincial Agronomist with Alberta Canola, shared timely updates on blackleg at a blackleg nursery near Vermilion.

To help accommodate busy schedules, Lakeland College offered three sessions throughout the day.

A big thank you to the Crop team and Cheryl Westman, Region 10 Director with Alberta Canola, for bringing everyone together.

Great people, conversations and plenty of learning.

Early spraying will yield more than late almost every time. Explore the research behind early applications and find out “how early is too early?” in this @CanolaWatch fundamentals article: https://t.co/PieyFhux0P

Taking plant counts is important to assess if you’re reaching the 5-8 plants per sq. ft. target to help your #canola crop reach its potential. Check out this demo video for more.

The first steps in making the decision to spray for flea beetles are knowing the spray threshold and assessing leaf area loss.

Our flea beetle damage guide can help. Learn more about making the right spray decision in this @CanolaWatch article: https://t.co/rzTVJ2dWH6

Stand up to flea beetles and reduce risk from flea beetle feeding with strong stand establishment. These tips from @CanolaWatch can help: https://t.co/GUncsseBTS

[Canola Council of Canada @canolacouncil]

More #canola plants mean fewer beetles per plant, so achieving the recommended target of 5 to 8 plants per square foot will help reduce risk from flea beetle feeding. @CanolaWatch has tips to help achieve strong canola stand establishment: https://t.co/GUncsseBTS

@4sunsAg @canolacouncil The little black guys on the other side of the pod in the video are much more likely to make those feeding marks :-) but keep #scouting….. Ladybug/ladybird picking up leaking moisture- but isn’t the cause of the initial damage. Lygus (also in video) will make a puncture.

Now’s the time to #scout diseases in #canola. Clean looking white stems inside with green exterior is the hoped for outcome from scouting! Look for #blackeg, #clubroot, sclerotinia, or verticillium stripe on the same field visit this fall. #nothingbeatsbootsinthefield

Scouting #canola for #blackleg. Check #canolawatch and the Canola Council of Canada’s website for more information on this disease or any agronomic question you may have. Get out and scout.

@breannetidemann How’s this work- Lambs1/4, buckwheat, shepherd’s purse and I get points on X toward? Can others see my answer?

[Canola Council of Canada @canolacouncil]

Keep your canola ready for market. Ensure any bins intended for #canola storage remain malathion-free. Malathion residues can transfer to canola and put your crop's marketability at risk.
