Mission control 😎 at #operationyellowdawn. Defender of canola yields 🌱. Glyph’s better half. Rock solid work ethic. Mom says I’m #irresistible.

I’ve been seconded to the CIA (Canola Intelligence Agency).
🕵️ Don’t tell anyone. 🤫

My job is to profile tough-to-control weeds and build a defence plan to ensure a yellow dawn.

Follow me for intel and control strategies to keep these yield bandits at bay.

Canola growers! STOP stealth flea beetles from cutting into your bright yellow dawn. Wind and rain can drive flea beetles to feed on stems. Be on the look out for this and POUNCE on them before they pounce on your yellow dawn. https://t.co/NBHtU0OJX4 #canola #westcdnag #scout24

Calling all canola growers! We’ve got early season weeds and resistance handled. Now flea beetles are here to take a bite of your yellow dawn. Flea beetle damage can change rapidly so be ready to POUNCE quickly! https://t.co/NBHtU0OJX4 #canola #westcdnag #scout24

Shepherd’s purse has delicate white flowers but this weed isn’t pretty. One of these winter annuals can produce 45,000 seeds. Control it early, when the weeds are actively growing in the spring, before it starts taking water and nutrients from your crop. https://t.co/tLYOGFxvLZ

Waterhemp is hard to miss. It towers over the crop and can germinate all summer long. Ugh, what an embarrassment! Research in soybeans shows that it can reduce yield by as much as 40%! Early control is critical to reduce yield loss: https://t.co/tLYOGFxvLZ

Chickweed can do a number on a canola crop. The seeds make it a formidable foe. They can survive for 60 YEARS in the soil and will germinate throughout the season. Control it early before it can get established, especially prior to no-till crops. https://t.co/tLYOGFxvLZ

[CommanderCharge @CommanderCharge]

Lamb’s-quarters is nothing like a cute, gentle lamb. This weed is up early in the spring, robbing your crop of valuable nutrients. One plant can produce 72,000 long-living seeds, so don’t let it get established on your land. Get in control: https://t.co/tLYOGFxvLZ

[CommanderCharge @CommanderCharge]

Canola is my favourite crop, except when it’s growing tall in a field of wheat… 🤷 Volunteer canola can provide cover for disease and insects. It often has the herbicide resistance traits inherited from its parent. Get control of volunteer canola: https://t.co/tLYOGFxvLZ

[CommanderCharge @CommanderCharge]

Hate kochia? Ya, me too. You won’t like Russian thistle either. Similar to kochia, this weed thrives in hot, dry conditions. Here’s some good news: Good control will reduce populations in two years. Get on top of Russian thistle: https://t.co/tLYOGFxvLZ

[CommanderCharge @CommanderCharge]

This nasty weed often germinates in the fall leaving an unpleasant surprise in the spring. Eliminate it early or that large taproot will get established and make the weed even harder to control. Don’t waste any time controlling flixweed: https://t.co/tLYOGFxvLZ

[CommanderCharge @CommanderCharge]

Pigweed isn’t a great competitor but if you give it an inch, it will take a mile. In tough years when the crop doesn’t canopy, pigweed will get established. With one plant spreading 100,000 seeds, you know it will be around for a while. Kick pigweed out: https://t.co/tLYOGFxvLZ

[CommanderCharge @CommanderCharge]

We curse cleavers at harvest but this nasty weed is a problem all year long. It robs your canola of valuable nutrients. It still haunts you at harvest, getting tangled in equipment and it’s difficult to separate cleaver seeds from canola seeds. Learn more https://t.co/6fZwvUJGIF

It’s time to cancel kochia. ID’d as one of the most dangerous weeds in the west, it’s resistant to drought and many herbicides and poses a high level threat to yields.

Tempted to trade my fighter jet in for this @JohnDeere beauty! The only thing bigger is my label 😎. Command® Charge herbicide and this sweet ride is a match made in pre-seed weed control heaven 🌼. #operationyellowdawn #cleancanola
