In
2008 and 2009, the
Ontario Canola Growers and Grey County Soil & Crop Improvement
Association worked with canola producers across the province on strip trials
that studied the effect
of boron, fungicide and insecticide foliar applications on
canola yield and seed quality. Each
trial involved nine treatment plots. Soil and tissue tests were conducted
as part of the trial. This trial will be continued in 2010.

Canola
is a crop that responds to good crop management practices. However, it is
important to manage input costs wisely and provide
producers with data that indicates recommendations for the most
advantageous applications. In 2007 and 2008 this project involved trial
applications for herbicides, fungicides and pest treatments. The results
were interesting. In 2007 (a relatively dry and hot year) the yield boosts achieved with boron
foliar application were considerable whereas in 2008 (higher moisture,
lower average temperature) yield increases were minimal.
