How many plants recovered? Are they at early stages and at risk of heavy blackleg infection? What is the crop nutrition situation?…

The later hail occurs in the season, the more damage it can do to yield. While canola can keep flowering to compensate from hail that occurs during flowering, hail at the late pod stage can result in unrecoverable yield loss… -
The later hail occurs in the season, the more damage it can do to yield. While canola can keep flowering to compensate from hail that occurs during flowering, hail at the late pod stage can result in unrecoverable yield loss. (The damage to the pod in this photo is minor but could still affect yield if seeds are damaged or…

With severe hail after flowering, plants can start to regrow, going through flowering stages again. This really sets back maturity, but with enough time, new branches can produce enough yield to make harvesting worthwhile. The question is, is this a crop worth much more investment?… -

The later hail occurs in the season, the more damage it can do to yield. That said, flowering canola can, with enough time, recover from hail that knocks off a large percentage of flowers… -

The later hail occurs, the higher the chance of yield loss, given that the plants have less time to recover. Hail on seedlings rarely results in yield loss. Heavy hail at the 6-leaf stage will have more yield loss but recovery can occur… -
You may be sick of reading about it, but that’s better than being sick of finding it. Lygus bug continues to be a hot topic for growers in a number of locations across the prairies. While numbers are surprisingly high, they may still not be high enough to warrant the cost of spraying. Don’t let the idea of revenge influence…
