3 CANOLA SEED SELECTIONS FINISHING FIRST WITH DEKALB RR First to mature. First to yield. ROUNDUP READY Seed RR first and you can be first in your field at harvest. This broad-acre hybrid has been a top yielding hybrid across 2 years of DEKALB MD Trials*. *Source DEKALB MD Trials Early maturity with high yield potential, giving you the opportunity to spread out management operations on your farm Optimized for normal swathing window (50-70% Seed Colour Change) R-rating for blackleg Tall plant height and higher pod-set Good standability RR -2.4 n= RR -2.4 n=194 RELATIVE MATURITY (IN NUMBER OF DAYS) COMPARED TO 74-44BL L CR 0 n=127 n= n=404 n= *Source: Monsanto Field Scale Trials across Western Canada. *Maturity varies by region and year. n=131 n=113 n= L S56 L140P CR 3.4 n=22 Yield % of RR* 100% RR N value Number of years RR Win Rate 66.7% 83.5% 59.7% 86.1% RR Yield Advantage (bu/ac) RR Maturity Advantage (days earlier) 96.9% 91.8% 45S % INVIGOR % PROVEN PV 533 G *Source: DEKALB MD Trials. Individual results may vary. Seed RR first to maximize the potential of this early maturing hybrid. In a shorter season zone, or in a situation where you may have to re-seed, you can still achieve high yield and great quality within the growing season. In mid and longer season zones, you can spread out canola management by seeding RR first and later maturing hybrids like BL and second.

5 CANOLA SEED SELECTIONS FINISHING AHEAD WITH DEKALB CR Ahead on maturity. Ahead on yield. ROUNDUP READY Outstanding yield potential, excellent disease package, and one of the earliest maturing clubroot resistant products on the market the newest DEKALB canola hybrid, CR, has it all.

Individual results may vary. Unfortunately clubroot is a growing concern on the Prairies. If clubroot is close to you, I would integrate CR on your farm. This hybrid showed outstanding yield performance in 2016 Monsanto Field Scale Trials, while offering resistance to clubroot pathotypes 3, 2, 5, 6, 8. Another key practice in protecting your farm from clubroot is scouting! We need to scout regularly throughout the growing season for this disease. Gull symptoms on the roots can show up before bolting - around swathing timing the disease will be most obvious. Keep in mind that field entrances are likely where clubroot will show up first.

Photo provided by Syngenta Quicker start, stronger finish - For a canola crop with increased root growth and leaf area, and higher yield potential, order your DEKALB brand canola seed pre-treated with JumpStart inoculant, a product from Monsanto BioAg. JumpStart is an inoculant containing the naturally occurring soil fungus Penicillium bilaiae (P. bilaiae). P. bilaiae grows along the plant root, releasing phosphate bound in the soil, making it more available for the crop to use. JumpStart promotes greater phosphate availability, which results in early vigour, greater stress tolerance and earlier, more even maturity and ultimately higher yield potential. In 67 independent large-plot research trials JumpStart inoculant averaged 6% higher yield over untreated.* *Results from Western Canada from Individual results may vary. usejumpstart.ca P.bi. = Penicillium bilaiae P = Phosphate Ca = Calcium Freeing Phosphate Penicillium bilaiae releases bound mineral forms of soil and fertilizer phosphate, making it more readily available for the plant to use.

11 MONSANTO TRAITS Monsanto Traits. Driving Innovation. We re working hard to develop and deliver products that help you to be more productive and more profitable. The agricultural challenges of today provide opportunities for Monsanto traits to benefit you and the land you farm. Upcoming trait products will significantly improve yield potential by helping protect your crops against the devastation caused by diseases, drought, pests, and weeds. By increasing yields, we can help improve on-farm productivity allowing farmers to meet the growing global demands for food, feed, and fuel. DEKALB GENUITY ROUNDUP READY CANOLA ROUNDUP READY Weeds aren t to be feared. They are to be controlled. The Genuity Roundup Ready canola system arms you with one of the best tools for weed control - including pesky weeds like cleavers and wild oats. With flexible application timing & fewer temperature constraints it allows you more good spray days in a season because we know you ve got a lot of stuff to do! It s hard working, and easy to use and tank-mix. Tank mixing with multiple modes of action will help you employ sustainable management practices. DEKALB VT DOUBLE PRO RIB COMPLETE CORN Above-ground control of yield-robbing insects. The combination of DEKALB genetics and advanced trait technology makes DEKALB VT Double PRO RIB Complete corn a great option for your fields. You get dual modes of action to control above ground pests, including European corn borer, corn earworm and fall armyworm. All this, plus the simplicity and convenience of RIB Complete, our single-bag refuge solution. DEKALB VT DOUBLE PRO RIB COMPLETE CORN AT A GLANCE: Dual modes of action for above ground protection from European corn borer, corn earworm and fall armyworm Refuge in the bag convenience and simplicity For more information on Monsanto corn traits please visit To help preserve the benefits of our trait technology, an Insect Resistance Management (IRM) plan must be part of every farmer s production strategy. Farmers who purchase corn products that are not designated as RIB Complete required to plant a refuge that is appropriate for that product. As part of the IRM plan for RIB Complete corn, experts recommend that growers incorporate crop rotations (out of corn), use of pyramided traits for below ground pests and, when appropriate, use of insecticides to minimize selection of resistant populations. Farmers should monitor their RIB Complete corn fields for targeted insect pests and contact their local Monsanto representative, retailer, or Monsanto s Technical Support line at if they observe any unusual performance problems.

12 OUTSMART WEEDS IN 3 STEPs Managing resistance isn t about using less glyphosate; it s about using herbicides effectively. Here s how: Mixtures work best. Tank mixes have been shown to be more effective than alternating single-mode applications (AKA rotating herbicides) when it comes to managing herbicide resistance Tank mix at least once per growing season. Add another effective mode of action to the tank with glyphosate. Group 1 and 2 herbicides are considered high risk, as many weed species are resistant to these herbicides. Using them can put more pressure on glyphosate to control tough weeds such as kochia, wild oats and cleavers. Don t rely solely on glyphosate or any one mode of action to control them. 1 about resistance and how it develops Know the truth Spice up your mix Add another effective mode of action to the tank Diversify Your Crop Rotation 2 Take advantage of pre-seed options. It s your easiest opportunity to include a tank mix in your herbicide program million Roundup Equivalent Litres were applied in the spring of Of those applications, 75.8% is applied alone, 2 which puts farmers at risk for selecting for resistance. 3 Grow three or more different crops in your rotation. It can help break cycles of disease, insects and weeds and give you more herbicide options. Weeds outsmart habits, not systems. Herbicide-tolerant crops don t cause resistance. The way we use them can. Visit MonsantoCMS.ca for more resistance insight and chemistry recommendations. 1 Beckie and Reboud, Selecting for Weed Resistance: Herbicide Rotation and Mixture.
