Proper harvest management allows you to harvest for quality on other crops rather than worrying about risking canola due to pod shatter if it becomes ripe. Many times, growers are faced with critical harvest decisions that result in the detriment of one crop over another. Growing a canola hybrid with harvest management traits minimizes the risk at harvest and will lead to greater profits across the farm. Another concern growers are faced with when growing canola in a crop rotation is volunteers the following year. Canola is an aggressive growing crop that demands water and nutrients and will compete with the crop being grown the following year if volunteers are not properly managed. The first step to volunteer canola control starts at harvest. Growing a canola BLACKLEG RATING SCLEROTINIA RESISTANCE CLUBROOT RESISTANCE hybrid with harvest management traits means there will be less seed pod drop and pod shattering. Minimizing the amount of seed loss at harvest decreases the number of volunteers the following year. Nutrien Ag Solutions is proud to offer canola hybrids with leading harvest management features including excellent standability and pod shatter reduction. Plant architecture, erect stance and height all affect the ease with which a canola crop can be cut and combined. Standability is a result of plant breeder selection coupled with the influence of balanced fertility, agronomic management and the environment. Considering varieties with standability ratings and heights that suit your harvest needs will allow for faster harvesting, a better anchored swath and the potential for more snow capture. Canola 19
