Spraying Season Has Arrived; Are Your Pesticides Registered?

Spraying season is here, and proper pesticide use is essential for the success of your crops.

Canada's Ag industry relies on growers to make informed decisions over the coming months, and now's a great time for growers to ensure their pesticides are registered in Canada for their own crops, keeping in mind that registration of a pesticide does not guarantee it's acceptable for export customers. Talking with your buyer before you spray is a great way to ensure you won't be limiting your marketing options.

For those in the field, following label instructions should be top of mind, as applying incorrectly may result in higher-then-accepted residue levels.

If you're growing Canola, SprayToSwath.ca has some great tools for your to help plan your spray.
