Ideally, we want to get every crop off to the best start possible.
One of the ways that this can be done in canola is through a pre-emergent herbicide, says Marissa Robitaille Balog, of the Canola Council of Canada.
"Canola isn't super competitive when it's small," Robitaille explains in this Canola School episode. "It's pretty susceptible to those external stressors. So by removing weeds and other pressures like that, you're allowing resources like nutrients and moisture to be accessible for that canola to get off to a good start."
There are multiple considerations when it comes to a pre-emerge herbicide, but one of those things is going to be field history. Thinking about different things within our fields history, says Robitaille Balog, are things you're going to want to be watching out for.
