Canola Council of Canada

Growers and agronomists looking for help in making sclerotinia spray decisions this summer will have access to a new online tool from the Canola Council of Canada. Available at , the sclerotinia risk assessment tool offers both a recommendation about whether or not to spray a canola crop (at 20-50 per cent flower) based on several inputs from the user, along with an opportunity to assess the spray decision by rating sclerotinia severity at maturity (30-60 per cent seed colour change).

The Canola Council of Canada (CCC) has unveiled a new program offering financial support to help growers initiate or advance 4R Nutrient Stewardship on canola acres.
 
The program, named Canola 4R Advantage, will reimburse growers for up to 85 per cent of eligible costs, up to $12,000 per farm per year. Funding for Canola 4R Advantage has been provided by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada through the Agricultural Climate Solutions – On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF).
 

The Canola Council of Canada (CCC) says growers who give canola crops time for all seeds to reach maturity can see a 10 per cent increase in yield. Agronomy Specialist Shawn Senko recommends swathing when the main stem shows at least 60 per cent seed colour change.
