Rain And Snow Will Cause Significant Harvest Delay In Saskatchewan

 
Heavy rain and snow this week is expected to cause a significant delay to harvest across Saskatchewan.
 
Provincial crops analyst Daphne Cruise says many farmers will need 4 to 5 days of warm dry weather before they can resume combining.
 
Cruise expects both yield and quality will be affected by the severe weather.
 
She says some cereal crops will have bleaching or sprouting.
 
Cruise adds there may be some shattering of canola.
 
As well, the snow will flatten crops, making harvest slow and difficult.

Video: Spring weed control in winter wheat with Broadway® Star (pyroxsulam + florasulam)

#CortevaTalks brings you a short update with Cereal Herbicides Category Manager, Alister McRobbie, on how to get the most out of Broadway® Star.

Significant populations of grassweeds, including ryegrass and brome, can threaten winter wheat yields. Spring applications of a contact graminicide, such as Broadway Star from Corteva Agriscience, can clear problem weeds, allowing crops to grow away in the spring.

Broadway Star (pyroxsulam + florasulam) controls ryegrass, sterile brome, wild oats and a range of broad-leaved weeds such as cleavers. It can be applied to winter wheat up until GS32, but the earlier the application is made, the smaller the weed, and the greater the benefit to the crop. Weeds should be actively growing. A good rule of thumb is that if your grass needs cutting, conditions are right to apply Broadway Star.
