1 Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Agriculture et Agroalimentaire Canada Alberta Weed Survey: Irrigated and Dryland Fields Julia Leeson & Chris Neeser
2 Content Overall weed abundance Trends Distribution maps Results from weed management questionnaire
3 Background 1 st Weed Survey Series of partial surveys 60 s and 70 s Intensive survey Fort Vermillion in 1985 (model for future surveys) 1 st Province-wide survey 1997 (684 fields) 2001 survey 1153 fields surveyed
4 What we did in 2009 Irrigated Fields (12 districts) Surveyed 571 fields out 600 target Distributed 600 questionnaires, 239 were returned (38%)
5 What we did in 2010 Surveyed 959 dryland fields (target 1200) Covering 88 ecodistricts Mailed out 950 questionnaires, of which 235 were returned (25%)
6 Weed Survey Protocol paces between samples 100 paces paces Field corner or other convenient starting point
7 Data Analysis Relative Abundance = Relative Frequency + Relative Uniformity + Relative Density Relative Frequency = Count by weedspecies Total weedcount Relative Uniformity = Count of quadrats with a given weedspecies Totalnumber of quadrats Relative Density = Count of a given weedspecies Total weedcount
8 Irrigation Districts Calgary Brooks Irrigation District: Western Eastern Bow River Lethbridge Northern St. Mary River Taber Raymond Magrath United Mountain View Leavitt Aetna Ross Creek Lethbridge Glenwood Medicine Hat
9 Top 20 Species in Irrigated Broad-leaved crops (beans, potatoes, sugar beets, canola)
10 Top 20 Species in Irrigated Annual Cereal Crops (includes corn)

31 The Questionnaire 33 questions specific to the surveyed field weed management insect and disease management tillage, seeding, soil fertility, yield and rotations 18 questions about the farm operation Overall weed management herbicide resistance Sprayer calibration
32 Herbicide Use: % untreated
33 Herbicide Use: Barley * includes all Monsanto glyphosate products
34 Herbicide Use: Wheat
35 Herbicide Use: Canola
36 Herbicide Groups: 2010 Barley (56 fields)
37 Herbicide Groups: 2010 Wheat (92 fields)
38 Herbicide Groups: 2010 Canola(61 fields)
39 Crop Rotations ( )
40 Herbicide Resistance 17 % of respondents suspected herbicide resistance. Suspected species Nb of fields Herbicide Groups Wild Oats 34 1, 2, Kochia 12 2, 4 Wild buckwheat 4 2 Chickweed 2 2, 4 Cleavers 1 2
41 Herbicide Resistance 5 % of respondents had confirmed herbicide resistance. Confirmed species Nb of fields Herbicide Groups Wild Oats 11 1, 2, Kochia 4 2 Chickweed 2 2 Hemp-nettle 1 2
42 Key Conclusions Generally good weed control in high value cash crops (potatoes, beans, sugar beets, canola). Weed control is better than in the 70 s and 80 s Annual sow thistle, narrow-leaved hawk sbeard, and Canada fleabane continue to spread Herbicide resistance is a significant problem in spite of herbicide rotations
