Identifying and controlling cutworms
Profitability and sustainability can go hand-in-hand
Herbicides that could improve cleavers control
It is important to note that, as of October 2016, clomazone is not yet registered and quinclorac should not be used on canola due to maximum residue limit (MRL) issues. Until exporters and processors are confident that they can ship quinclorac-treated canola without trade concerns, growers are advised to avoid this marketing risk by using other cleavers control methods.

Grower-funded research projects
Canola growers across the Prairies fund dozens of research projects with their levy payments to SCDC, ACPC and MCGA. Many of those projects are funded jointly through CARP —an arrangement that has been ongoing for almost 30 years. Other projects are funded through arrangements with other organizations listed in these summaries. Here are short descriptions and updates for all ongoing projects directly funded by provincial canola grower organizations.
