With winter approaching, there has been little precipitation to recharge dry soils across the province. This has lead many prominent chemical companies to release additional re-cropping restriction statements, advising producers not to grow sensitive crops such as durum following the application of herbicides that pose a higher risk of carryover due to the extreme heat and drought experienced this growing season.

In this episode, Sask Wheat's Agronomy Extension Specialist, Haley Tetreault, is joined by the SaskCanola Agronomy Extension Specialist, Kaeley Kindrachuk, and the Saskatchewan Pulse Growers Agronomy Manager, Sarah Anderson, to discuss herbicide carryover risks with Clark Brenzil, the the Specialist in Weed Control with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture. In particular, they focus on group 2 imidazoline products. In addition to the podcast, we have also released a collaborative document detailing herbicide carryover risk and considerations- which is available at saskwheat.ca under the agronomy tab.
