DEKALB® Brand Genuity™ Roundup Ready® Winter Canola

There is mounting evidence that crop rotations that include winter canola and winter wheat are an economically viable alternative to continuously growing wheat in the traditional wheat regions of Oklahoma and Kansas.

Crop rotation is an important factor in alternating pest cycles including weeds, disease and insects. And the fact is that since wheat fields are prone to weeds, they benefit from rotation with Genuity™ Roundup Ready® winter canola.

DEKALB® brand Genuity™ Roundup Ready® winter canola seed products offer farmers one of the best crop rotation solutions to come along in years. Varieties have been developed for seeding in the fall and harvesting the following spring or summer. This gives farmers an important option as a rotational crop in traditional monoculture winter wheat production areas.

Sulfonylurea Residual Tolerant (SURT)The introduction of SURT™ (Sulfonylurea Residual Tolerant) Roundup Ready® products further enhances grower flexibility. Currently, there are two SURT products in the DEKALB® brand Genuity™ Roundup Ready® winter canola variety product line - DKW46-15 and DKW47-15.

In field trials, SURT products have demonstrated the ability to be grown on fields where a long-residual Sulfonylurea herbicide was applied in the previous wheat crop and would be detrimental to canola growth. SURT Roundup Ready® products open up a vast number of acres where canola was previously not a viable option-resulting in more options for cleaner fields and much better control of weeds and insects.

WEED CONTROL RECOMMENDATIONS (WINTER-SEEDED)
PROGRAM INSTRUCTIONS AND USE RATES ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Sequential Applications

The two-pass program gives the greatest flexibility in controlling late emerging weeds. For broad-spectrum weed control, apply 11 to 22 oz/A of Roundup

WeatherMAX* herbicide to 2-leaf or larger Genuity™ Roundup Ready® winter canola in the fall. Use 5 to 10 gal/A water volume. Do not add surfactants.

Apply a second application of Roundup WeatherMAX* at 11 to 22 oz/A at a minimum interval of 60 days after the first application and before bolting in the spring.

Do not exceed 22 oz/A per application.

Spray when Genuity™ Roundup Ready® winter canola is at the 2- to 3-leaf stage of growth. Early applications can eliminate competing weeds and improve yield potential.

Two applications of Roundup WeatherMAX will provide control of early emerging annual weeds and winter emerging weeds such as downy brome, cheat and jointed goatgrass.

  • Control late flushes of annual weeds such as foxtail, pigweed and wild mustard.
  • Provide season-long suppression of Canada thistle, quackgrass and perennial sow thistle.
  • Provide better yields by eliminating competition from both annuals and hard-to-control perennials.
Single Application

For broad-spectrum control of annual and easy-to-control perennial weeds, make a single application of 16 to 22 oz/A of Roundup WeatherMAX*, preferably in the fall.

For best results, spray Genuity™ Roundup Ready® winter canola at the 2- to 3-leaf stage and when weeds are small and actively growing. Applications must be made prior to bolting. Use the higher rated in the range when weed densities are high, when weeds have over wintered or when weeds become large and well established.
Maximum Use Rate For Roundup WeatherMAX

Any single over-the-top application of Roundup WeatherMAX* should not exceed 22 oz/A. No more than two over-the-top applications may be made from crop emergence to canopy closure prior to bolting in the spring.

Applications of greater than 16 oz/A prior to the 6-leaf stage may result in temporary yellowing and/or growth reduction.

* If using another Roundup brand agricultural herbicide, you must refer to the label booklet or Genuity™ Roundup Ready® winter canola supplemental label for that brand to determine appropriate use rates. If using Roundup PowerMAX®, application rates are the same as for Roundup WeatherMAX.
