Wild Oats Control Herbicide Label Expanded

Insight 339SC, a new herbicide from Gowan Canada which provides wild oats control, has had its label expanded in Canada, a Nov. 14 news release said. Insight 339SC has the Group 14 active ingredient Tergeo.

It provides wheat and corn growers with a fast-acting solution to their pre-seed burndown strategy. The release notes it has exceptional control of wild oats compared other pre-seed burndown herbicides.

“It was essential that control of wild oats be on the label from the start. With the incidence of biotypes of wild oats resistant to other modes of action increasing across Canada, the need for solutions to this expanding problem are immediate,” Dale Ziprick, product manager for Gowan Canada, said in the release.

Insight also controls an array of broadleaf weeds, including volunteer canola, kochia, lamb’s quarters, wild buckwheat, and red root pigweed, the release said. It’s registered as a pre-seed burndown herbicide in spring wheat and corn and will be available for use in the 2023 growing season.

Video: Kansas Wheat Harvest 2026 | Three John Deere S7 700 Combines in Action

Kansas Wheat Harvest 2026 is underway near Alden, Kansas!

In this video, I spend time with Frederick Harvesting, a custom harvesting operation based in Alden, Kansas. Back at their home farm, three new John Deere S7 700 combines equipped with John Deere HDF40 draper heads work through a drought-stricken winter wheat crop while one of the farm's John Deere 8R 370 tractors pulls a Brent 1398 grain cart.

Most of the Frederick Harvesting crew was already busy cutting wheat in southwest Kansas, but these machines remained at home to finish up local fields. Throughout the video, I explain what is happening, discuss the effects of dry conditions on the crop, and capture plenty of aerial footage showing the combines working with the grain elevator at Alden in the background.
