Three technologies for controlling tough weeds

A soybean field demonstrating the effectiveness of Enlist E3 weed control technology to combat horsetail.
Crop protection Seed
Genetic engineering has made it possible to introduce different technologies into soybean cultivars to manage complex weed control situations.
 

In our era of sustainable agriculture and climate change, the increase in areas under direct seeding and reduced tillage with dethatchers has led to some weeds becoming more established in the field.

Integrated pest management: sterilized pink onion flies in onion crops

A vegetables producer holds freshly harvested onions in his hands.
Crop protection
Ten years after they were first introduced on a large scale in onion fields in Montérégie, sterilized pink onion flies have successfully replaced a controversial insecticide, while generating a dramatic reduction in the natural populations of onion maggots (Delia antiqua), the main onion pest in Canada.

The sterile insect technique (SIT) works in a surprisingly simple and ingenious way. It essentially uses one pest to combat another. To do so, onion flies that are factory reared and sterilized through irradiation ahead of time are released into fields.

Understanding the European Corn Borer to Better Deal with It

The European corn borer seen up close in a corn plant.
Crop protection
On the Prairies, we are fortunate that we don’t have many insects to deal with when it comes to our corn production. The most prevalent insect is the European corn borer (ECB), and the pressure we see varies by year and location. The following is a summary of the lifecycle of the ECB, how the environment can impact it, and scouting techniques.

Adjuvants for crop protection

Crop protection Fertilizer
Adjuvants are substances that help pesticides disperse more effectively in order to better coat and stick to plants.
Research has shown that up to 70 % of the effectiveness of pesticides depends on how they are applied. A product may be good, but it has to be applied correctly to reach its full potential.
