Wondering if your canola, pulse and cereals are at the correct stage for pre-harvest glyphosate application? @KICCanada’s staging guide helps determine when grain moisture will be less than 30% to avoid unacceptable product residues. https://t.co/Fq76vbVuei

VERY important to keep an eye out for #SpottedLanternfly in ONTARIO this year. If you see it report it!

🚨 Oak wilt has been found in a residential area in Niagara Falls, Ontario. This is the first confirmed detection of oak wilt in Canada. Learn more ⬇

[Abigail Wiesner @EntoAbbie]

Dry conditions across the province... hoping to see rain soon!

[Melinda Drummond @mindyinthedirt]

It's a little early in the season to have cracks like this forming. Could make for an interesting summer.

Thank you @cassielovesbugs! It has been a pleasure to work with the #ONnursery industry

[Cassie Russell @cassielovesbugs]

Congrats to @EntoAbbie for a fantastic MSc. Defense today at @uofg . Your work on #BoxtreeMoth in Ontario has reached so many folks in the ornamental industry and has been so impactful.
Well done! 👏🎓🐛

[Ontario Canola @OntCanolaGrower]

A reminder that farms are private property & entering a field is trespassing. Canola in full bloom is beautiful, but you have no right to enter and damage the crop just so you can capture that IG worthy photo. Stopping roadside is dangerous so please just admire as you drive by.

From 2018-2023 OBG invested nearly $1.4 million into the Pulse Science Cluster and through Canadian Agricultural Partnership, AgriScience Cluster Program leveraged an additional $2.6 million of Government and other industry funds. https://t.co/5y1EQR60SZ
