DEKALB® Territory Manager, Trish Chernoff scouting a canola field with Chad.

KYLE & LANDON PAPWORTH, 4th Generation - Lethbridge, ABKyle and Landon Papworth worked with their DEKALB reps as pilot testers of the Climate FieldView™ digital ag platform. They were part of the first wave of farmers testing the technology in Western Canada. Kyle loves the concept of having all your data in one place and is excited about the yield mapping. “It’s the direction our farm is going: precision agriculture,” Landon told us.Read more about the Papworths and why they choose to grow DEKALB canola at DEKALB.ca/farmer-stories

We confidently bring you the products in this seed guide thanks to the work of our DEKALB Agronomists andcooperating farmers through our Market Development (MD) Trial program. DEKALB brand hybrids and varietieshave been extensively tested across Western Canada by farmers in real growing conditions. This results ina robust dataset for making decisions on your farm.

Three ways you can take advantage of these farmer-led MD Trials:

2. Visit DEKALB.ca for all local trial dataWe are committed to gathering and transparentlysharing harvest data with you. Visit DEKALB.ca tosee how products perform near your farm.

Let Your Data Drive YouNo two farms are the same. Your farm is as unique as you. Climate FieldView™ is an integrated digital platform that allows you to easily aggregate your field data in one easy to use software application. Simplify field data management.

DEKALB® Silage Ready™ Corn Hybrids

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.

1 Beckie and Reboud, 2009. Selecting for Weed Resistance: Herbicide Rotation and Mixture. Weed Technology, 23: 363-3702 AgData 2016, Glyphosate BPI Report

ALWAYS READ AND FOLLOW PESTICIDE LABEL DIRECTIONS. Tank mixtures: The applicable labeling for each product must be in the possession of the user at the time of application. Follow applicable use instructions, including application rates, precautions and restrictions of each product used in the tank mixture. Monsanto has not tested all tank mix product formulations for compatibility or performance other than specifically listed by brand name. Always predetermine the compatibility of tank mixtures by mixing small proportional quantities in advance.

Visit MonsantoCMS.ca for more resistance insight and chemistry recommendations.

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.

DEKALB® hybrids and varieties are tested for you, by you.

We confidently bring you the products in this seed guide thanks to the work of our DEKALB Agronomists and cooperating farmers through our Market Development (MD) Trial program. DEKALB brand hybrids and varieties have been extensively tested across Western Canada by farmers in real growing conditions. This results in a robust dataset for making decisions on your farm.

Three ways you can take advantage of these farmer-led MD Trials:

1. Tour a local MD Trial this summerThis summer, we invite you to tour MD Trials near you to see how our products perform in your local conditions. Call your local DEKALB Representative or 1-84-GO-DEKALB to find out more about tours in your area.

2. Visit DEKALB.ca for all local trial dataWe are committed to gathering and transparently sharing harvest data with you. Visit DEKALB.ca to see how products perform near your farm.

3. Call your local DEKALB Representative for customized product recommendations for your farm

Our expert agronomists can use the data collected to provide you with customized hybrid or variety recommendations to suit the needs of your farm. If you are interested in learning more about an agronomic recommendation for DEKALB products on your farm, call your local DEKALB Territory Account Manager or find your local DEKALB Agronomist by visiting DEKALB.ca.

THE KUNTZ FAMILY, 3rd Generation - Battleford, SKThe Kuntz Brothers look for solid research, proven results, and their own experience before investing in seed. “I look at all the companies and try to compare,” says Brad, “With the trials that we’ve done ourselves with the DEKALB Brand team, and the results that I’ve seen on our farm, I know I can trust DEKALB.”Read more about the Kuntz family and why they choose to grow DEKALB canola at DEKALB.ca/farmer-stories

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.

ALWAYS READ AND FOLLOW PESTICIDE LABEL DIRECTIONS. Tank mixtures: The applicable labeling for each product must be in the possession of the user at the time of application. Follow applicable use instructions, including application rates, precautions and restrictions of each product used in the tank mixture. Monsanto has not tested all tank mix product formulations for compatibility or performance other than specifically listed by brand name. Always predetermine the compatibility of tank mixtures by mixing small proportional quantities in advance.

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.

Spice up your mix

Add another effective mode of action to the tank

CORNGR/SU/IS The 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 CORN RELATIVE MATURITY Relative maturity (RM) can be used to compare product’s maturity to existing products in the DEKALB lineup. The relative maturity of a hybrid is assessed by comparing the harvest maturity to established products with known RM ratings. Relative maturity assignments are based on four main components: Harvest moisture, Growing Degree Units (GDUs) to mid pollination (flowering), test weight, and plant health. 2 TARGET POPULATION Final plant population in thousands 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.3 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.
