As flowering begins in soybean fields, it’s time to apply a fungicide proactively to protect the quality of your soybean plants and potential yield. In Quebec and Ontario, sclerotinia (or white mould) is the most common disease among soybean plants, and it also causes the most economic damage. Whether it comes from your machinery, poorly […]

New soybean production technologies boast residual weed control properties to help you manage weeds. With Roundup Ready® 2 Xtend’s cropping system, you can now use a residual herbicide containing the active ingredient Dicamba. With a 10- to 14-day soil residual activity (depending on the quantity applied), this herbicide has an earlier application window, allowing to reduce weed emergence and keep the field clean even longer. Such early weed control results in a significantly increased yield potential. This strategy can also be used with Xtend soybeans.

With spring weather that swings between snow flurries and blazing sun, stored grain is particularly vulnerable to the weather conditions. While the hatch doors are essential for ventilating the grain, they can also be an entry point for snow during big storms. A crop intended for human consumption that is not checked on a monthly basis—especially in spring—may be downgraded when it is received according to the Official Grain Grading Guide by the Canadian Grain Commission

Ideally to maintain maximum yield, extend the planting of your full-season variety up to June 10-15th. After that planting date window, based on our research, early and late varieties are the same in yield and that is why it is a good decision to switch to earlier maturity varieties to reduce the risk of a […]
