75-65 RRSTRAIGHT CUT

ROUNDUP READYStrong for Straight Cut.

75-65 RR is built to straight cut. The firstproduct of our focused breeding effort on shatterresistance: 75-65 RR was bred for straight cutting.

FINISHING STRONG

“We grow 75-65 RR because we like the height of the crop and the shatter resistance it offers. We moved to 75-65 RR when we found out about the DEKALB brand’s progress with straight cutting. Once we started straight cutting, we never looked back because we saw the success with it; we reduced man power and lowered equipment costs. On top of that, there is something about combining canola straight that keeps everyone with a smile on their face.”

“This is our 5th season growing 74-44 BL and I am putting in more and more every year. In all the plots we have done with DEKALB over the last few years, 74-44 BL has been the highest yielder. Every year I add in new hybrids to try to beat it but every year it comes out the winner. Last year we straight cut it and it was awesome. It’s a really nice, high yielding hybrid.”

John E. Wipf DEKALB MD Cooperator near Drumheller, AB

Big on Blackleg. Big performance.

A consistent performer with enhanced multi-genic blackleg resistance; we know why 74-44 BL was the #1 selling Genuity® Roundup Ready® canola hybrid for three years in row*. Count on 74-44 BL to deliver when it matters most - harvest time.*Source: 2014, 2015, 2016 Canola BPI Report, AgData

Outstanding yield potential, excellent disease package, and one of the earliest maturing clubroot resistant products on the market – the newest

DEKALB canola hybrid, 75-42 CR, has it all.

FINISHING

AHEAD

“75-42 CR was a really competitive product. It really stood out because of its Clubroot and multi-genic Blackleg resistance, it was easy to combine, and it was definitely one of the very best in our trials for standability. Its early maturity was another advantage; typically we were always going for yield so we had to push a

bit longer, the advantage with 75-42 CR is that you don’t have to give that up, you get both an earlier maturity and a great yield.”

The earliest-maturing product in 2015 and 2016 Monsanto Field Scale Trials, and well suited to short-season zones.

ROUNDUP READY

“73-15 RR is a great fit for growers up in the Peace country. Its ultra-early maturity can offer you peace of mind this harvest. For growers in short-season zones, you can get it in the bin early and reduce your risk of exposure to frost. For growers in longer season zones, plant 73-15 RR with a longer maturing hybrid to spread out management activities and reduce environmental risk.”

Your DEKALB canola gets a strong start to the season with Visivio™ seed treatment.

It is the next step in the evolution of flea beetle control. Formulated with six powerful active ingredients, Visivio™ seed treatment counteracts early-season canola threats from insects—including both striped and crucifer flea beetles—along with a broad-range of seed- and soil-borne diseases. Unleash the vigilant protection of Visivio. Your seed investment deserves nothing less.

All information concerning Visivio™ provided by Syngenta. Visivio™ contains the active ingredients difenoconazole, metalaxyl (M and S isomers), fludioxonil, thiamethoxam, sedaxane and sulfoxaflor. For more information, visit Syngenta.ca/Visivio, or contact the Syngenta Customer Interaction Centre at 1-87-SYNGENTA (1-877-964-3682). Always read and follow label directions.

If cutworms are present in a field and left unchecked, they can destroy an emerging canola crop in a matter of days.

Fortenza® seed treatment provides added control of cutworm. Fortenza is available with Visivio™ seed treatment technology, and together, they provide broad spectrum insect and disease management and enhanced crop establishment.

All information concerning Fortenza® provided by Syngenta. Fortenza® contains the active ingredient cyantraniliprole. Always read and follow label directions. Fortenza® is a registered trademark of a Syngenta Group Company.

Quicker start, stronger finish - For a canola crop with increased root growth and leaf area, and higher yield potential, order your DEKALB® brand canola seed pre-treated with JumpStart® inoculant, a product from Monsanto BioAg.

JumpStart is an inoculant containing the naturally occurring soil fungus Penicillium bilaiae (P. bilaiae). P. bilaiae grows along the plant root, releasing phosphate bound in the soil, making it more available for the crop to use.

JumpStart promotes greater phosphate availability, which results in early vigour, greater stress tolerance and earlier, more even maturity and ultimately higher yield potential. In 67 independent large-plot research trials JumpStart inoculant averaged 6% higher yield over untreated.*

*Results from Western Canada from 1995-2015. Individual results may vary.

To help preserve the benefits of our trait technology, an Insect Resistance Management (IRM) plan must be part of every farmer’s production strategy.

Farmers who purchase corn products that are not designated as RIB Complete® required to plant a refuge that is appropriate for that product.

As part of the IRM plan for RIB Complete corn, experts recommend that growers incorporate crop rotations (out of corn), use of pyramided traits for below ground pests and, when appropriate, use of insecticides to minimize selection of resistant populations. Farmers should monitor their RIB Complete corn fields for targeted insect pests and contact their local Monsanto representative, retailer, or Monsanto’s Technical Support line at 1-800-667-4944 if they observe any unusual performance problems.

DEKALB® GENUITY® ROUNDUP READY ® CANOLA

Weeds aren’t to be feared. They are to be controlled.

The Genuity Roundup Ready canola system arms you with one of the best tools for weed control - including pesky weeds like cleavers and wild oats.

68.69 million Roundup Equivalent Litres were applied in the spring of 2016. Of those applications, 75.8% is applied alone,2 which puts farmers at risk for selecting for resistance.

Tank mix at least once per growing season. Add another effective mode of action to the tank with glyphosate.

31Mixtures work best. Tank mixes have

been shown to be more effective than alternating single-mode applications

(AKA rotating herbicides) when it comes to managing herbicide resistance.1

Group 1 and 2 herbicides are

considered high risk, as many weed species

are resistant to these herbicides. Using them can put more pressure

on glyphosate to control tough weeds such as

kochia, wild oats and cleavers. Don’t rely

solely on glyphosate or any one mode of action

to control them.

Follow applicable use instructions, including application rates, precautions and restrictions of each product used in the tank mixture.

OUTSMART WEEDS IN 3 STEPsManaging resistance isn’t about using less glyphosate; it’s about using herbicides effectively. Here’s how:

Grow three or more different crops in your rotation. It can help break

cycles of disease, insects and weeds and give you more herbicide options.

Weeds outsmart habits, not systems. Herbicide-tolerant crops don’t cause resistance. The way we use them can.

Take advantage of pre-seed options. It’s your easiest opportunity to include a tank mix in your herbicide program.

CORNGR/SU/ISThe hybrid/herbicide combination can result in plant height reduction, stand loss and suspected yield loss under very adverse environmental conditions, high rates or extreme soil pH levels or organic content.

Use of drop nozzle spraying for post-emergence herbicides or planting in warm soils for incorporated herbicides may avoid interactions. Consult your DEKALB dealer for additional information.

1 TARGET POPULATION Final plant population suggestions are based on medium to high yield environment. In fields with lower yield potential consider targeting slightly lower population. Adjust planting rate to suit individual field conditions.

2 HERBICIDE SAFETY Ratings are based on observations and research using herbicides at and above labeled rates to simulate extreme environmental conditions, misapplication and adverse soil pH or organic content.

Either no adverse effects from the hybrid/herbicide combination were noted or only slight damage could be noted under adverse conditions or herbicide application at higher than label rates.
