Before spraying for diamondback moth larvae, make sure that: 1. Large areas within the field have reached the nominal threshold of 25% or more of the leaf area lost. 2. Diamondback larvae are still present. 3. They are actively feeding. (Many diamondback moth larvae may have started to cocoon (pupate) and are no longer a threat.) 4. Newest leaves are…

Early blackleg infection — from the cotyledon to 3-4 leaf stages — leads to the greatest yield loss. If growers see blackleg lesions on cotyledons or leaves early in the season, this may indicate a greater risk of potential blackleg problems. Fungicides are registered for blackleg management in canola…

Add diamondback moth larvae to your early season scouting list. Growers cannot expect insecticide seed treatment to protect canola from diamondback moth larvae, so spraying may be necessary in some fields or parts of fields. Before spraying, make sure that: 1. Large areas within the field have reached the nominal threshold of 25% or more of the leaf area lost…

LL: Use high water volumes for Liberty and use the Group 1 tank mix. RR: Use the 180 ae rate of glyphosate if you plant to hit grassy weeds first and follow up later. CL: Consider Odyssey DLX for enhanced grassy weed control in Clearfield canola…

Diamondback moth and flea beetle damage can look similar in some cases. So can wireworm and cutworm underground feeding. Look for the damage and the insects before making a final spray decision…

If an insect or disease threat is present at economic thresholds and within the weed control window, applying herbicides with other pest control products can add to production efficiency and cost management. Before mixing, make sure all products are compatible. And if they are compatible, they may have strict rules for mixing order…

Keep it simple — compare only treated and untreated strips. Mark the strips and take them to yield. Do an economic analysis. Work with other agronomists and other growers and compare results…
