5 What s New for 2015 This year, as in years past, you can continue to look to Bayer CropScience for cutting-edge innovation to help reduce risk and increase your bottom line. Chances are that if you have a growing concern, Bayer CropScience has a solution. Some of the most recent innovations include: Four exceptional InVigor hybrids that continue to challenge what you can expect from your canola crop. InVigor L252 and InVigor L261 are two mid-maturing hybrids that are raising the bar on yield potential. InVigor L160S is a sclerotinia-tolerant hybrid and the first line of defence against a disease that has a high cost in both lost yield and lost profit. InVigor L140P is also the first pod shatter reduction hybrid that provides you with the flexibility to either delay harvest or to straight-cut canola, reducing the risk of pod shatter. All four hybrids bring you the next level in blackleg resistance. Exceptional and long-lasting disease control is what Canadian pulse and soybean growers can expect from new Delaro fungicide available across Western Canada for the 2015 growing season. Delaro utilizes two powerful and proven active ingredients (prothioconazole and trifloxystrobin) for dual modes of action offering broad-spectrum protection against all major stem, pod and leaf diseases that challenge peas, lentils, chickpeas and soybeans. Extensive field testing across the Prairies, under a wide variety of environmental conditions, highlighted that Delaro s unparalleled broad-spectrum and long-lasting disease protection translated into higher yields. Protect your crop s full potential with Delaro the new standard in pulse and soybean disease control. Raxil PRO cereal seed treatment is the newest formation in the Raxil product line. Raxil PRO s single, simple rate has been formulated for a steady flow through your equipment and onto the seed. Application is critical to a seed treatment s performance. If applied poorly, you leave some of your seed unprotected. Over-applying leads to unnecessarily high costs. Raxil PRO s micro-dispersion technology drastically minimizes the potential of plugging machinery and future recalibration issues for advanced seed coverage and protection, even when applied in very cool temperatures. It delivers outstanding disease protection, especially against smuts and fusarium. The addition of Stress Shield in Raxil PRO Shield results in a fast-emerging crop with healthier root systems that can better withstand unforeseen seasonal stress that Mother Nature may bring your way. Volunteer canola has become a management issue for many farmers as canola s ongoing strong prices have resulted in more acres devoted to the crop, sometimes in tighter than ideal rotations. Pardner herbicide is now registered as a pre-seed burndown tank-mix partner with Roundup WeatherMAX herbicide and similar glyphosates. Pardner herbicide will help control all volunteer canola. A pre-seed tank-mix application of Pardner and glyphosate will effectively control all volunteer canola and set up your field for a successful season.

8 InVigor innovation For 18 consecutive years, InVigor has consistently outperformed all others at the Western Canadian Canola/ Rapeseed Recommending Committee (WCC/RRC) canola variety registration trials and you can continue to expect exceptional yield results. It will also continue to provide high stress tolerance, early-season vigour, uniformity, as well as high seed quality. Superior breeding of new canola traits The agronomic trait technologies in InVigor L160S and InVigor L140P have been developed to address some of your most serious management concerns, without sacrificing yield. Sclerotinia tolerance Sclerotinia continues to be an ongoing and expensive problem. In the 2012 season alone, sclerotinia cost the average Canadian grower just over $38,000 *. Lodging caused by sclerotinia means lost time and difficult days in the combine at harvest. Bayer CropScience s response has been the development of InVigor L160S, a hybrid that provides true genetic tolerance, not just structural avoidance, to effectively reduce sclerotinia levels. * Source: 2012 Agriculture Canada Statistics Key features of InVigor L160S Effectively manages sclerotinia while still maintaining yield Yield results at 97% of the new checks (InVigor 5440 and Pioneer Hi-Bred 45H29) in the WCC/RRC registration trials Provided a 46% reduction in sclerotinia incidence (infected plants) and a 63% overall reduction in disease severity in the 2013 Bayer CropScience Demonstration Strip Trials (DSTs) Ideal for mid- to long-season growers, with a maturity rating of two days longer than checks Next level in blackleg resistance Excellent standability Pod shatter reduction technology Poor weather at harvest can destroy the yield potential of even the most promising-looking crop. Premature pod shattering will leave yield on the ground instead of in your bins. With its unique, patented pod shatter reduction technology, InVigor L140P aims to ensure that your profit potential isn t lost to shelling. In recent years, the average Canadian grower has lost between 2-4 bu./ac. * due to pod shattering caused by late-season moisture and wind events. That s over $500 million in a single year. This lost yield can also add management stress with volunteer canola in your next year s rotation. * Source: Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada field surveys InVigor L140P was developed to offer you greater flexibility for your farm at harvest. The pod shatter reduction technology allows you to successfully straight-cut your canola crop. In the 2013 DSTs, straight-cut InVigor L140P showed a 7% yield advantage over InVigor 5440 at normal swath timing. By delaying harvest, you achieve greater yield potential. When timed correctly, straight-cutting canola can bring you the yield and high oil advantage of a fully mature, ripe crop. Key features of InVigor L140P * Patented pod shatter reduction technology Minimizes the impact of yield losses from increasingly common, late-season environmental conditions such as severe wind and moisture events Provides greater harvest flexibility for growers, with the ability to delay swathing or straight-cut canola with enhanced yield protection Suitable for all growing zones in Western Canada Short to mid-height with a maturity a half-day earlier than the check average, making it well-suited for straight-cutting * Source: The Evolution of Harvest Management In 2014, Bayer CropScience also introduced two midmaturing hybrids that produced excellent results last year. InVigor L252 was the highest yielding hybrid in the WCC/RRC variety trials. At 110% of the new checks (InVigor 5440 and Pioneer 45H29 in the WCC/ RRC), it was also ranked first in all growing zones in the 2013 Canola Performance Trials, and was the top yielder in the 2013 Bayer CropScience Demonstration Strip Trials. InVigor L261 is a new, taller hybrid with improved standability and excellent yield potential. Despite its height, it also has a high level of lodging resistance similar to that of InVigor L130, which Canadian growers have said has optimal standability. InVigor L261 was the highest yielding hybrid in the mid-season zone in the Bayer CropScience variety registration trials in 2011 and 2012, and yielded 107% of the NEW checks (InVigor 5440 and Pioneer 45H29 in the WCC/RRC variety trials).

9 ideal product for their needs. InVigor Canola Demonstration Strip Trials a proven, reliable source There s a lot of information available to you, all telling you what you should grow and why. On-farm research can be a great way to take real-world growing information and apply it to your operation, but in order for it to be valid it has to take into account various agriculture practices, good agronomy and good science. The InVigor Demonstration Strip Trials (DSTs) conducted by Bayer CropScience have taken the concept of on-farm field trials and married them with a strict scientific approach. The InVigor DSTs have earned a reputation for accuracy, fairness and reliability. What makes these DSTs so reliable? Performance data needs to be real, local and current. When conducted by a company that develops products, in order to be seen as fair it has to look at competitive products in the exact same way it looks at its own. This information should include the latest technologies, but also include comparison to trusted products you ve used in the past. The Bayer CropScience DST program is conducted in real-life conditions using the farming practices of a variety of growers across the Prairies. Our Market Development Specialists work with growers to set up trials across the Prairies that represent various growing conditions and soil zones. These DSTs not only allow us to see a representation of our products against competitor products but also allow the insights we need to continually provide growers with the most Manage resistance with Liberty herbicide Nobody wants resistant weeds in their field; however, the incidence of herbicide resistance is increasing, with new resistant weeds confirmed each year. Today there are more than 532,000 * acres of glyphosate-resistant kochia across all three Prairie provinces. Fortunately, you have access to a powerful resistance management tool with Liberty herbicide. Liberty is the only herbicide with a Group 10 mode of action in canola. The need to rotate herbicides has never been greater; with no known resistance in Canada, Liberty is an important tool in keeping herbicide resistance at bay, and In order to obtain the most fair and accurate results, each DST is replicated twice within the same field. Instead of uniform timing, each DST is monitored to ensure all crop applications and swathing are completed at the right time to ensure optimal yield. This highly detailed approach helps produce quality trial results that you can depend on when making a purchasing decision. Here are some more reasons why our DSTs are a reliable source of information: DST plots are a series of hybrid strips seeded and grown side-by-side at common locations under identical soil, moisture and other climatic conditions to provide meaningful results. Each trial is grower-managed, using their own equipment and agronomic practices. Replicating each strip twice within the trial allows for the use of statistical analysis to verify the results from each individual DST. Bayer CropScience Market Development Specialists apply the appropriate product to each field. Applications of herbicides and/or fungicides made at each stage are applied on the same day in each trial. Comparisons are completed at harvest, and weigh wagons are used for accuracy; net yield is reported after dockage, then grading is completed and standardization for moisture is accounted for the same parameters that determine the value of a farmer s crop. For increased accuracy, results are averaged locally for statistically accurate comparisons. DST numbers are compiled from all growing regions and soil zones to provide reliable performance data. Hybrids/varieties are only compared to one another when grown at common sites. Trial methodology is rigorously followed by Bayer CropScience Market Development Specialists to ensure quality trial results.

Liberty will provide you with excellent control of Group 1-resistant wild oats and Group 2- and 9-resistant kochia, in addition to your regular problem weeds. Liberty offers you flexibility with its higher labelled rate for a single application, a two-pass option and an effective tankmix partner in Centurion for increased grass weed control. Liberty provides broad-spectrum activity while helping to manage your resistance concerns into the future.

Protecting your seed from the moment it hits the ground will help create positive momentum into the growing season. The new active found in EverGol was specifically designed by Bayer CropScience for seed treatment use, and it protects against seed- and soil-borne disease both in the beginning and throughout your crop s establishment. EverGol s unique Group 7 active ingredient, penflufen, offers your crop outstanding defense against rhizoctonia, which can have a significant impact on stand establishment. When combined with Bayer's other active ingredients, this allows for quicker germination, improved vigour and a healthier plant stand that increases your crop's performance. Bayer CropScience has combined EverGol with several of its products to offer you tailored crop protection like none other to fit your crop's needs. Prosper EverGol provides targeted protection of your canola and mustard by combining three fungicides (penflufen, metalaxyl and trifloxystrobin) for a wide range of protection against yield loss from rhizoctonia, pythium, fusarium, seed-borne alternaria and blackleg. Prosper EverGol s insecticide component, clothianidin, is for control of flea beetles up to the 4 leaf stage of canola. These particular beetles are a costly pest for farmers and in Western Canada have cost growers an estimated $300 million in damage every year, with typical yield losses WEEDS Stress Shield helps to facilitate plant health Stress Shield is a seed treatment technology from Bayer CropScience that provides you with exceptional results across a variety of crops. It offers early-season protection resulting in a healthier, more mature plant that is better able to cope with stress throughout its growth, allowing for a greater yield potential. When plants are exposed to increased seasonal stressors, such as adverse weather conditions, Stress Shield provides an alternative energy source for the plant to draw on for repairs, without taking away from the energy stores within the plant. The results are superior root establishment for an improved ability to draw water and nutrients from the soil for better overall plant health. A healthier plant shows better vigour and a stronger stand. Used in the newest formulation of Raxil PRO Shield, cereal growers are noticing many exciting health benefits from Stress Shield. In Raxil PRO Shield, Stress Shield also offers an insecticide that prevents wireworms from feeding on cereal crops through either ingestion and / or contact with the seed treatment. When combined with EverGol Energy and Trilex EverGol, the active ingredient (imidacloprid) provides systemic and contact activity on a variety of crops against pests such as wireworm and pea leaf weevil, and offers the longest residual control of aphids from a seed treatment. of about 10% *. This early-season damage can result in poor seed fill, premature pod drying, shrivelled seeds and pod shattering. Trilex EverGol combines penflufen, trifloxystrobin and metalaxyl in a concentrated formulation that can be applied at low volumes with no plugging. This product s easy-to-mix formula offers you increased control of problem diseases including rhizoctonia, pythium and botrytis in your pulse crop. It offers improved ascochyta management. EverGol Energy also contains multiple modes of action, including penflufen, metalaxyl and prothioconazole for disease protection on soybeans and corn.

With its unique Group 7 active ingredient, penflufen, EverGol offers your crop outstanding defence against diseases such as Rhizoctonia solani. As a testament to its efficacy, penflufen represents the first fungicidal active specifically engineered by Bayer CropScience for use in seed treatments only. HOW STRESS SHIELD WORKS Plants experiencing a stressed environment (pests, drought, heat or other) seek to protect themselves from further injury and repair damage. To complete this process, the plant re-dedicates energy that would have normally been used for growth and seed production, thus resulting in decreased plant health, biomass and yield. Stress Shield curtails the negative effects of plant stresses by supplying a supplemental energy pool for internal repair/ coping systems to draw on. The results are superior root establishment, improved vigour, larger plants and increased yield SEED TREATMENTS / EverGol Energy

Flea beetles Flea beetles can do a lot of harm in a short period of time, especially to seedlings. They can locate and defoliate seedlings shortly after emergence, making them very difficult to control. In Western Canada, flea beetles cost growers an estimated $300 million in damage every year, with typical yield losses of about 10% *. Feeding damage results in defoliation, plant injury and/or death and early stress on crop, which may lead to yield loss. Seedling disease complex: seed rot, root rot, seedling blight, damping-off Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium spp. and Pythium spp. are soil-borne pathogens that cause serious problems, both before and after emergence. Rhizoctonia is considered the most serious disease affecting canola stand establishment by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. Seed decays in the soil and fails to emerge, or seedlings shrivel and die shortly after emergence. Stems appear water-soaked or constricted at or below the soil line, resulting in stand thinning or even bare patches in a field.

Seed-borne disease Seed-borne diseases such as alternaria and blackleg (Leptoshpaeria maculans) can cause major yield losses. Alternaria affects all stages of growth through the entire plant (excluding the roots) and can cause serious damage in both wet and dry summers. Infected seeds may rot in the ground or produce infected seedlings with dark spots on the cotyledons. Leaf spots usually appear in early summer on lower leaves and produce spores, which will later infect pods and stems. Blackleg kills seedlings shortly after emergence, with symptoms that may be mistaken for damping off. It also attacks leaves, stems and pods, causing cankers, girdling and lodging. Infections occurring before the 6 leaf stage cause the most severe yield loss. * Source: Knodel, J.J. and D.L. Olson Crucifer flea beetle: biology and integrated pest management in canola.

34 Know your groups Rotating herbicide modes of action (MOA) is a well-established method of managing resistance to keep the products you trust working longer. But when you change products, it doesn t always mean you are changing modes of action. While there are numerous herbicide options available to you, 77% of the global market is represented by only six different modes of action. You need to know the chemical groups of whatever product you use to make sure you are actually changing the chemistry applied to your field. To make sure you are using a different mode of action, be sure to read the label. Herbicides presently registered in Canada belong to one of 13 chemical groups. Of those chemical groups, eight have developed weed resistance. If a weed can resist a lethal dose of herbicide, then it has developed resistance. GROUP 22 GROUP 14 Reduce the selection pressure of a single MOA by using multiple MOAs with activity on weeds of interest, both during the growing season and from year to year. Know your field history and rotate your herbicide modes of action based on past herbicide groups used and frequency of use. In addition to chemical rotation, other ways to manage the development of resistance include: Increasing the seeding rate and decreasing row spacing for better crop competition Implementing proper crop rotation to change up the disease and weed profile Cleaning your farm equipment so you aren t physically moving resistant weed seed Removal of resistant weed patches by conventional tillage or hand-weeding GROUP 27 GROUP 10 Glyphosate resistance a growing concern The development of glyphosate resistance is a cautionary tale about what can happen when you overuse an individual chemistry. Not long ago, the development of resistance to glyphosate seemed unlikely but the popularity of the effective, low-cost chemistry led to overuse of that single group, and the quick development and spread of resistant weeds. In Canada, glyphosate-resistant kochia has been confirmed in all three Prairie provinces. Due to the prevalence of kochia and the competitive nature of the weed, this confirmed resistance is of great concern. This is a growing threat, as glyphosate resistance has become a huge problem for U.S. growers. According to a 2012 survey of American growers, almost half (49%) confirmed they had glyphosate-resistant weeds on their farms, and numbers continue to quickly grow. What started as an issue in the deep southern U.S. has become a big problem throughout the country that continues to march north toward the Canadian border at a startling pace. As Western Canada is only in the early stages of glyphosate resistance, now is the time to be proactive and manage resistance before it becomes a bigger management issue. For canola growers, the LibertyLink system is an instrumental tool in delaying the spread of resistance. With its unique Group 10 mode of action, Liberty is the perfect rotational tool for growers to help combat resistance. 2 3 GROUP 1 NUMBER OF HERBICIDE BRANDS PER GROUP None in Canada Eastern Black Nightshade None in Canada Wild Oats Common Ragweed Kochia None in Canada Kochia, Wild Oats #1 TARGETED WEED IN THAT GROUP 3 NUMBER OF HERBICIDE BRANDS PER GROUP Wild Oats Green Foxtail None in Western Canada Wild Mustard GROUP 8 GROUP 9 GROUP 2 Kochia GROUP 3 GROUP 6 GROUP 4 GROUP 5 Bayer CropScience has several products that are ideal for management of chemical rotation. Liberty herbicide is the only Group 10 herbicide in canola, with no known resistance in Canada. Varro s Group 2 chemistry effectively takes on Group 1-resistant wild oats. Velocity m3 has three modes of action to eliminate numerous resistant broadleaf and grass weeds. And Infinity is the only Group 27 broadleaf herbicide available to Western Canadian cereal growers, with no known herbicide-resistant weeds. 3 1 Wheel of Resistance

35 Taking control of wild oats It s a hard weed to tackle and an easy weed to hate. Wild oats have traditionally been difficult to kill, and they remain the most consistently problematic weed for cereal growers in Western Canada. Additionally, wild oats have shown a fast adaptability to herbicide control and were the first weed to show signs of multiple chemical resistance. So how do you keep wild oats from taking control of your crop? The key is to rotate powerful herbicide control. Bayer CropScience has four options to help take control of wild oats. Registered for use in both wheat (spring and durum) and barley, Puma Advance continues to offer dependable grass weed control, excellent crop safety and wild oat performance. Powerful Varro herbicide can effectively battle Group 1-resistant wild oats in your wheat crop, and acts as a "broadleaf booster," making your broadleaf weed control partner better. With three active ingredients, Velocity m3 gives you effective resistance management against Group 1-resistant wild oats while demolishing your toughest weeds. Tundra herbicide s pre-mixed formulation and three modes of action offer accurate, efficient and safe control of wild oats and other problem weeds in your wheat and barley while saving you time and money. i Learn more about MOAs and the different groups at

45 HERBICIDES 45 AVAILABLE FOR LIBERTY 864 L TOTE = 640 ACRES APPLICATION TIPS When choosing a 2-pass strategy, consider travelling in the reverse direction of the first pass to reduce the risk of any shadowing effect When tank mixing Liberty with Centurion, always add Amigo adjuvant to the tank first, then add Liberty, followed by Centurion (consult the Liberty 150 SN label for complete mixing instructions) As Liberty is a contact herbicide, use nozzles designed to achieve a medium to slightly coarse droplet size (approximately microns in size). Avoid larger, higher-output nozzles that increase droplet size (greater than 350 microns in size), as they can potentially reduce control from inadequate weed coverage Avoid very fine droplet sizes (less than 150 microns in size), as the potential for drift increases dramatically Use application speeds that, in conjunction with spray pressures, will optimize the droplet size. Excessive speeds should be avoided, as they can sacrifice weed coverage and increase the potential for drift from wind shear Adjust pressure accordingly so as to obtain recommended droplet size AVAILABLE IN BIGBOYS 432 L TOTE = 320 ACRES 108 L SHUTTLE = 80 ACRES See pg. 86 for more details GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR LIBERTY Good coverage helps ensure excellent control Spray in warm, sunny conditions (>10 C) Apply when weeds are newly emerged and actively growing Avoid application during poor moisture, low humidity and heavy dew Rainfast in four hours WATER VOLUME Minimum 10 US gal. of water per acre RE-CROPPING INTERVALS Liberty 150 SN breaks down rapidly in the soil There are no cropping or rotational restrictions after application RESIDUE & GRAZING: Grain and meal from treated crop can be fed to livestock Do not graze the treated crop or cut for hay, as there is currently insufficient data available to support this use HERBICIDES / Infinity

Dry or wet conditions, low disease levels, high disease levels, good market prices and poor, Prosaro and Folicur EW fungicides continue to provide some of the highest returns on investment (ROI) on your farm. Bayer CropScience has conducted Cereal Demonstration Strip Trials (DSTs) on wheat, barley and oats for the past seven years in order to evaluate yield and quality parameters. With this vast dataset we can evaluate what the average return on investment is from a fungicide application under varying commodity prices, disease levels and environmental conditions. These grower-co-operated trials provide you with the most extensive information available on fungicide performance, to help make an informed decision. Year after year, the trial results speak for themselves. Folicur EW and Prosaro fungicides consistently provide cereal growers with exceptional value under a wide range of WHEAT PROTECTION ACROSS THE PRAIRIES (WHEAT AT $4.50/BU.) environmental conditions. Results have also shown that the greatest return continues to come from applications applied at the head timing. An application at head timing will protect against various head diseases, including Fusarium head blight, while also protecting your leaves against yieldrobbing leaf diseases. By protecting both the head and the leaves, growers are able to maximize not only their yield but also the quality of their grain at the end of the day. Change the way you think about disease control. Anticipating disease and factoring a fungicide application into your production plan is the best way to protect your yield and quality. For more information on the Fungicide DST program and for comparative trial data from this year and over a number of years, visit ItPaystoSpray.ca or our ROI calculator at BayerCropScience.ca/ROICalculator. In addition to big-picture data, this site offers growers the ability to search localized results for different regions/zones.

65 Sclerotinia costs you in lost time, lost yield and lost profit If you grow canola, you know about sclerotinia. The disease is an annual threat it s not a matter of if you will have sclerotinia, it s a question of how bad it will be. In the 2012 season alone, sclerotinia cost the average Canadian grower just over $38,000. In 2011 when disease levels were particularly high, nearly 80 million bushels were lost Prairiewide, at an estimated value approaching $900 million. * As the level of loss becomes more apparent, the simple economics of high demand and profitable returns mean that it is more important than ever to control the disease in your crop. In order to reap the benefits of that high demand, you need a high-quality, disease-free, high yielding crop and sclerotinia can take that away from you. Bayer CropScience has a number of tools to help manage sclerotinia. InVigor L160S is a sclerotinia-tolerant InVigor hybrid that offers protection against the disease without sacrificing yield. Early preventive application of the sclerotinia- targeted foliar fungicide Proline can reduce infection rates by up to 80%. Its unique mode of action provides you with a new standard of disease control to maximize plant health, yield and profitability. To make your calculations easier, Bayer CropScience has developed a Return on Investment (ROI) Calculator. Our ROI Calculator is easy to use, and could really make the difference in helping you come out ahead of sclerotinia.
