If you can find a way to manage volunteer canola you should be ok. Im blanking here, and cant find my crop protection guide. But I think pursuit should do the trick.

 

Around here lots of guys do it. I don't grow peas but I always have my best red lentil crops on canola stubble.

 

As long as it not clearfield canola stubble.

 

Don't do it, don't do it! We don't want the pea prices to crash either! LOL!
Seriously, I do it all the time. Never noticed any yield reductions compared to cereal stubble. For volunteers Viper works very well and I believe Authority is also being recommended now but you have to watch your rotation because of residuals with authority.

 

authority doesnt smoke canola.

 

Good to know. I have never used it because of recropping restrictions, specifically Canola which needs two winters before being seeded on ground sprayed with authority. That's why I thought it too took canola out.

 

Have done it a few times, plan on doing it again this year. Don't think there was any yield reduction but did not have any fair comparisons to know for sure. We sprayed with odyssey Dlx, does a good job controlling the volunteer canola.

 

It's doable, have done it in the past but I prefer to grow peas on cereal stubble. A late flush of volunteer canola in late June or July can make harvest a nightmare, especially in damp conditions and dessication is a must. So be prepared to dessicate with reglone or RUp/heat.

 

Don't do it !! Had two quarters of peas in, one on wheat stubble the other on canola stubble. Sprayed viper and headline on both. Was close to 10 bushels LESS on the canola stubble. On my farm there will be no more peas on canola stubble.

 

have done it a couple times... there is a yield drag compared to growing peas on wheat, but I find there is a yield drag with anything I seed into canola stubble, and at least with peas I don't have to worry about protein discounts! Heat at higher rates seems to keep an early flush of volunteers down, without having to worry about pursuit residue. Watch that clopyrlid (lontrel / eclipse) wasn't used in the canola, peas have a recropping restriction, based on previous years rainfall.

has anyone noticed anymore schlerotina in the peas when they do this?

 

Have done this for close to twelve years now and have had half and half fields of canola and cereal, no diff in yield only diff was volunteer canola in one half. We try and stay with invigor just for the fact of desiccating. Finding that peas after canola is sure a lot easier on the pocket book as it doesn't need any fert just some phos and this is helping out as the last few years canola has really taken the N levels down. We are thinking of just applying third rate of pursuit and half a liter of glyfo at burn off and then just spraying with a grassy for in crop as most are canola stubble is fall sprayed and ody or viper wont touch thistles or dandilions anyways.

 

Bradw, yes the peas on canola stubble was horrible bad for sclerotinia and wheat stubble had virtualy none. That would be the differance in yield I am assuming.
