  1. CANOLA WEED MANAGEMENT Eric P. Prostko and Tim L. Grey Extension Weed Specialist and Research Weed Scientist The University of Georgia April 2007

  2. Before Getting Started • What herbicides were used in previous crops? • Canola is very sensitive to herbicide residues!!

  3. Canola Rotation Restrictions FB = Field Bioassay

  4. Avoid Planting Canola in Wild Radish/Mustard Fields

  5. Follow All UGA Recommended Production Practices • Adapted Variety • Planting Date • North Zone (September 10 to October 25) • South Zone (October 10 to November 15) • Row Spacing (6-12”) • Seeding Rate (4-6 lbs/A) • Fertility Management

  6. Herbicides For Use in Georgia Canola • Glyphosate • at-planting but before crop emergence • Treflan,Trilin, etc. • PPI • Select/Arrow, Poast, Assure/Targa • POST (grass control) • Beyond • POST • Clearfield varieties only!!!!

  7. Trifluralin in Canola • Incorporate to depth of 2-3” within 24 hours of application • 2-pass system • 0.50-0.75 lb ai/A • some control of winter annual grasses, henbit, and chickweed • no control of wild radish/mustard • Better than nothing!

  8. Clearfield Canola Production Systems • Non-GMO • Beyond (imazamox) is only herbicide registered for use in U.S. • Based on UGA field trials, eliminates concerns for Cadre (imazapic) carryover problems. However, Clearfield canola is NOT listed on Cadre label.

  9. Clearfield Canola varieties only!!!!! • Beyond 1AS (imazamox) • 4 oz/A + NIS @ 0.25% v/v + UAN @ 2.5% v/v • weeds less than 3” tall • In UGA field trials, Beyond has provided good to excellent control of Italian ryegrass, wild radish and shepherd’s-purse when applied between 24 and 37 DAP. • $515/gal ($16.09/A)

  10. ROTATIONAL CROP RESTRICTIONS FOR BEYOND • 3 months = wheat • 4 months = barley, rye • 8.5 months = field/sweet corn • 9 months = cabbage, cantaloupe, carrot, cotton, cucumber, grain sorghum, oats, onion, peanut, pepper, tobacco, tomato, turnip, watermelon • 18 months = non-Clearfield canola

  11. Weed Control in Clearfield Canola with Beyond 1AS (4 oz/A) + COC (1% v/v) + 37% UAN (2 qts/A) Grey et al. 2006. Weed Technology 20:551-557

  12. Stinger • clopyralid • labeled but not yet recommended by UGA • 3 lb ai/gal • 4-8 oz/A ($15-30/A) • 2 to 6 leaf stage of canola • 50 day PHI • Canada thistle, sowthistle, dandelion, chamomile • Rotations • 0 months = field corn, wheat, barley, oats • 10.5 months = grain sorghum, onions, sunflowers • 18 months = all other crops

  13. Other Types of Herbicide-Resistant Canola • Roundup-Ready (RR) • Liberty-Link (LL) • both are not currently labeled for use in Georgia • Why? • Developed after Georgia stopped growing canola on a commercial basis • varieties more susceptible to blackleg • volunteer problem in other RR crops • herbicide resistance issues

  14. Weed Control in RR-Canola with Roundup Weathermax 5.5SL (22 oz/A) Grey et al. 2006. Weed Technology 20:551-557

  15. Weed Control in LL-Canola with Liberty 1.67SL (34 oz/A) + 21% AMS (3 lb/A) Grey et al. 2006. Weed Technology 20:551-557
