Managing Pre-Harvest Glyphosate Application

Aug 04, 2021

Canola growers are being reminded that pre-harvest glyphosate applications should be carefully managed to help ensure crops meet the needs of domestic and export customers.

Applying pre-harvest glyphosate for weed control too early can result in unacceptable product residues in harvested grain, which can create market risk.

Where allowed, pre-harvest glyphosate should only be applied for weed control once grain moisture is less than 30 per cent in the least mature part of the field.

Justine Cornelsen is an Agronomy Specialist with the Canola Council of Canada.

"Understanding your pre-harvest intervals is extremely important, especially on a market aspect. Any product you're using, make sure that you know it's PHI (pre-harvest intervals) and are focused in to that," she said.

Video: New Solution Powers Efficient Pork Growth

Alltech has introduced Olerix, an innovative phytogenic blend created to promote growth and feed efficiency in pigs. Through a proprietary coating process, the bioactive blend of phytogenic compounds used in Olerix is designed to outlast the manufacturing process, ensuring consistent outcomes from feed to finish. The result is a high-impact efficiency solution that provides consistent support for gut health, feed efficiency, immune function and growth performance. Olerix is backed by validated trials conducted under modern pork production conditions.

“As the industry searches for technology to drive profitability forward in a more sustainable manner, we’re thrilled to join that effort with our Olerix technology,” said Mark Hulsebus, general manager for U.S. pork at Alltech. “Our work in this phytogenic space is yielding very encouraging results, and we’re excited to make this new opportunity available to pork producers focused on optimizing feed efficiency and growth rates.”

“Olerix represents the next generation of phytogenic technology — combining feed efficiency, livability and immune support into a practical commercial solution producers can implement today,” said Andy Rash, U.S. monogastric director at Alltech.
