Commonly found in wheat, barley, oats, and other cereal crops across Saskatchewan, wild oats are one of the most economically damaging weeds on the Prairies. They emerge early in cool soil conditions and compete aggressively with crops for moisture, nutrients, sunlight, and space.

Wild oats can significantly reduce yield and grain quality if left uncontrolled, especially in cereal production systems. Their prolonged emergence pattern throughout the growing season makes control challenging, often requiring multiple management strategies. Wild oat seeds can remain viable in the soil for several years, contributing to persistent infestations.

Timely herbicide applications are essential to reducing competition and preventing seed production. Contact your local Synergy AG rep for products and recommendations to help control wild oats effectively.

on May 22, 1906 the Wright Brothers got their patent for their "Flying Machine"? Since then, aviation has been improving and modified. In 1950 the first agriculture aircraft was invented to help with aerial applications for agriculture pesticides.

Cutworms can cause early-season damage in cereals, canola, pulses, and corn by clipping young seedlings at or below the soil surface.

🔍 What to look for:
✔️ Missing or cut-off seedlings at ground level
✔️ Wilted plants or uneven emergence
✔️ Patchy stand losses across fields

⚠️ The real damage happens below the surface, where larvae feed at night and target tender stems, leading to thin stands and reduced yield potential.

🌾 Control options:
Early and regular scouting is key, especially in the evening or early morning. Dig around damaged plants to confirm larvae presence. Insecticide control may be warranted when economic thresholds are reached.

📞 Contact your SynergyAG Rep to build a proactive insect management plan tailored to your fields.

that not all water is ideal for herbicide applications? Different water qualities can impact your herbicide efficacy. Water hardness, bicarbonates, pH and cleanliness have major impacts on your spray water quality and glyphosate efficiency.

Remember when you are adding your pre-seed burn products to your glyphosate that adding the products in the correct order can help prevent products gelling up in your sprayer tank and booms.
Unsure of what order you should be adding your pre-seed products, just remember the acronym WAMLEGS, or call your trusted rep.
