An agronomist with the Canola Council of Canada says now is the time to be extra diligent when scouting.
Angela Brackenreed says flea beetles are a big concern right now.
"Flea beetles can do a lot of damage in a hurry, and with this really windy weather we've been having, they tend to go underneath the cotyledons and start feeding on the stems...it only takes a couple of bites to be economical."
Brackenreed notes it's also important to look for bare patches, as cutworms may be the culprit.
