I had no weeds for a pre seed burnoff this spring due to cool temps. Did my first pass about a month ago. Then it rained for a month. Its dry enough to spray now but my canola is in 80-90% bloom. It could sure use another pass. Any one try spray this late? Trying to decide the lesser of 2 evils. Hate to look at weeds sticking out above crop in august. of course its right along a hiway.

I would spray it 2 yrs ago i didn't , those fields still have heavy wild oats in windrows on those fields

There was a thread on this a few days ago. Anybody who has done it before said they wouldn't do it again and would recommended not to do it. Significant yield loss.

On Liberty we did some patches after it was done flowering and it didn't seem to hurt not sure about RR Canola.

You could wait till the flowers have dropped to control seed set. I did that last year in waterlogged canola.

Think i'm gonna leave it. Sounds like a bad idea. havent heard anyone who did it and had good results.

Use select at the 60 ac rate.


Ausssie study showed very little difference yield.
