11 / InVigor 11 PATENTED POD SHATTER REDUCTION TECHNOLOGY TO STRAIGHT CUT YOUR CANOLA The future is here. InVigor yield performance and enhanced yield protection. With the game-changing technology of InVigor L140P from Bayer, the first-ever pod shatter reduction hybrid patented in Canada, growers now have a viable tool to manage the risks associated with straight cutting canola. InVigor L140P helps protect canola growers against lost yield and lost income, providing them with the flexibility to delay swathing or to straight cut their crop. Yield 100% of the new checks (InVigor 5440 and Pioneer 45H29) in the 2011/12 WCC/RRC Trials treatments Height Maturity Short to medium Half day earlier than the average of the checks Growing Zones Blackleg Oil Content All growing zones in Western Canada Rated R (Resistant) Equal to the average of the checks Agronomic Trait Pod Shatter Reduction Available With Pod Shatter Reduction JumpStart inoculant and/or DuPont Lumiderm insecticide treatment The patented pod shatter reduction technology of InVigor L140P provides stronger adherence of the valve and greatly reduces the effects of pod shatter in your canola. The results are superior yield protection and greater harvest management flexibility, including the ability to delay swathing or try straight cutting. In the 2014 Demonstration Strip Trials, straight cut InVigor L140P showed an 8% yield advantage over InVigor 5440 at normal swath timing. HOW IT WORKS INVIGOR L140P PATENTED POD SHATTER REDUCTION TECHNOLOGY Naturally strengthens the pod seam, stem and connective tissue to safely retain s until you are ready for harvest. Naturally strengthens the pod seam, stem and connective tissue to safely retain s until you are ready for harvest. Naturally strengthens the pod seam, stem and connective tissue to safely retain s until you are ready for harvest.

12 / InVigor 12 As a sign of maturity, canola pods naturally release s during dehiscence in order to reproduce. During this process, tissues around the seam weaken until the pod splits and shells. In many instances, elemental forces like heavy rain or wind can prematurely trigger unwanted shelling. However, the pod shatter reduction technology in InVigor L140P naturally strengthens the pod seam, stem and connective tissue to help safely retain s until you are ready to harvest. InVigor L140P Advantage Increased harvest flexibility Allows you to straight cut canola Reduces risk of adverse harvest weather Allows for longer pod-fill Potential for larger s Lower green counts Reduced fuel and input costs Reduces future canola volunteers Fewer hours in the field Straight cutting maximizes yield potential by allowing pods to fill for longer, resulting in larger s, fuller pods and lower green counts.

They can locate and defoliate lings, as well as feed directly on the stems of plants shortly after crop emergence, allowing significant crop damage to happen quickly. In North America, 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, delayed maturity and/or death, and early stress on crop, all of which may lead to yield loss. * Source: Knodel, J.J. and Olson, D.L., Crucifer-flea beetle: biology and integrated pest management in canola. North Dakota State Univ. Coop. Ext. Serv. Publ. E1234. North Dakota State University, Fargo, ND Seedling disease complex: rot, root rot, ling 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. Seed will decay in the soil and fail to emerge, or lings will 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 s may rot in the ground or produce infected lings 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 lings 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. What is EverGol? 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 from Bayer specifically engineered for use in treatments only. treatments

41 / Liberty 41 Application Timing Get the Most Out of Liberty Apply from the cotyledon stage up to, but prior to, bolting Application Tips When choosing a 2-pass strategy, consider travelling in the reverse direction of the first pass to reduce the risk of shadowing effect When ing 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 200 to 350 microns). Avoid larger, higher-output nozzles that increase droplet size (greater than 350 microns), as they can potentially reduce control from inadequate weed coverage Avoid very fine droplet sizes (less than 150 microns), 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 FOR 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 38 L (10 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 and 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 AVAILABLE IN BULK treatments 864 L TOTE = 640 ACRES 432 L TOTE = 320 ACRES 108 L SHUTTLE = 80 ACRES

68 / Prosaro 68 Features and Benefits Water Volumes Prosaro combines two leading active ingredients for leaf and head disease control in cereals in order to provide ultimate yield and quality protection. Prosaro has been the highest yielding fungicide on average in wheat and barley for eight consecutive years of cereal DST trials in Western Canada* When applied at early flowering in wheat and just after head emergence in barley, Prosaro protects against fusarium head blight (FHB) infection through the grain-fill period Effectively reduces levels of the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) and fusarium damaged kernels (FDKs) in harvested grain An application of Prosaro at head timing also provides substantial flag leaf disease protection, which also contributes to the final yield Protects the crop to preserve both yield and quality: plump kernels with high test weight, more bushels and less risk of dockage *Source: Bayer Grower Co-operated Cereal Demonstration Strip Trials Ground Minimum of 38 L/ac.

89 89 InVigor Canola Demonstration Strip Trials Evaluating Data Everyone has yield data, but when you re trying to make a decision on your canola it s important to have results you can trust, and to do that, you need to understand the methodology of the data source you are looking at. In order to be seen as fair, the data collected by a company that produces products needs to look at competitive products in the exact same way it looks at its own. In addition to having a scientific protocol and being collected from a trustworthy source, performance data also needs to be real, local, and current. The InVigor Demonstration Strip Trials (DST) have taken the concept of on-farm field trials and married them with a strict scientific approach, earning a reputation for accuracy, fairness and reliability. Trustworthy, Scientific Results. Grower Produced. All InVigor DSTs are conducted by real growers from across the Canadian Prairies, using their own equipment and farming practices. Following rigorous trial protocols, Bayer Market Development Specialists work one-on-one with participating growers to set up large-scale field trials across a wide range of growing conditions and soil zones. These DSTs not only allow us to objectively compare our product performance with competitors, it also physically puts us in the field, to ensure the accuracy and fairness of the results. In order to obtain the most fair and accurate results, each canola hybrid in the DST is replicated twice within the same field. Each DST is monitored to ensure all crop applications and swathings 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. treatments Here are some more reasons why our DSTs are a reliable source of information: For increased accuracy, results are analyzed on a site-by-site basis for statistical validity Comparative DSTs are grown side-by-side at the same location under identical soil, moisture and other climatic conditions to provide meaningful results Bayer Market Development Specialists apply the appropriate product to each field. Applications of and/or 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, grading is completed and standardization for moisture is accounted for the same parameters that determine the value of a farmer s crop 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 Market Development Specialists and participating growers to ensure quality trial results For more information on the InVigor DST program and for comparative trial data from this year and over a number of years, please visit: InVigorResults.ca Back to InVigor >>

90 Protect Your Fields from Disease 90 Seed- and soil-borne disease can rob your crop of its yield potential before it s even gotten out of the ground. While many diseases are present, they can affect and impact crop types differently. Seed treatments which control the diseases that take away your yield potential are the products you need to target. As Bayer SeedGrowth specialists, we are providing retailers and growers with information in order to assist you in effectively using treatments to improve your crop and your yield, says Brittnye Kroeker. Not every crop is susceptible to the same diseases, and not every disease has the same effect on different crops, says Kroeker. For example, a persistent myth is that soil-borne diseases need moisture and cool weather to attack, but some diseases such as fusarium and C. sativus flourish in dry, warm weather, whereas pythium takes off under wet and cool conditions. However, you know that the only thing predictable about weather is that it is unpredictable. In order to help your crop thrive despite what may happen in-season, a treatment can help protect the plant from the ground up. A good starting point is to have your tested at a lab to get a full understanding of what you are dealing with going into the season. Seed testing will look at the vigour and germination potential of your, and offer a full fungal scan through Petri dish testing. Kroeker says Petri dish testing shows a good picture of what you can expect from that. Many times, you may see lots of disease in the Petri dish, but you really need to concentrate on the ones that are important for that crop, she says. So for cereal, if you don t see pink, fusarium is not an issue, and what you might see in the Petri dish are some storage or secondary diseases that won t impact your yield. It s important to know what you are looking for. Not every crop is susceptible to the same diseases, and not every disease has the same effect on different crops, says Kroeker. For example, rhizoctonia in Western Canada can cause major losses in canola and peas, but has shown to have no impact on wheat plant stands. Knowing which diseases can impact your yield potential in different crops is important when choosing the most effective treatment. treatments Keep reading >>

91 91 Protect Your Fields from Disease While rhizoctonia on wheat has been receiving a lot of attention in the United Kingdom and in the U.S., it is not presently an issue for western Canadian cereal growers. There are 13 different strains for rhizoctonia, and AG8 the strain causing issues in the U.K. and the U.S. has not been found in Canada, she says. The AG8 strain that infects cereals and causes yield reductions is not present in Western Canada due to the harsher environment here. There are two major strains that we do get here, and although they can be found in most major crops, they are only a financial issue in pulses and canola. In order to see the impact of AG2.1, the most virulent strain present in Western Canada, we inoculated canola and wheat with the disease. While there was a big stand reduction in canola, there was little impact on wheat. treatments Early scouting also helps you learn what is in your soil and can help guide treatment decisions the following year. Dark roots or brown lesions on the roots or coleoptile are early indicators of disease. After emergence, monitoring establishment and plant stand counts can also hint at levels of disease issues in your crop. Later in the season, reduced tillering and lower counts are all signs you are dealing with a - or soilborne disease. Kroeker says the best treatments are the ones that attack a range of diseases that have been proven to impact yield in a particular crop. We know fusarium is a problem for cereal growers. Raxil PRO contains three active ingredients, including prothioconazole, which is very strong on fusarium, and growers are very familiar with this molecule from using Prosaro fungicide, she says. Our level of confidence in this product is very high because of the proven performance of the active ingredients. Both field and lab testing have consistently backed that up. Raxil PRO offers both contact and systemic protection, which Kroeker says is an important consideration in a treatment. There s a big benefit to having both, she says. Contact are fast-acting and remove the pathogen on the outside of the to prevent the spread of those pathogens. But systemic activity is also very important, as it gets rid of smut and other diseases that are inside the and protects the plant from infection caused by soil-borne pathogens. Kroeker says for a great information resource, you can check out your provincial website and other government to understand which diseases are problematic in your area. There can be a big difference from province to province, so you need to find the source of information that works best for where you are located. For everything else you need to get your season started right, Bayer SeedGrowth experts, along with your Bayer Territory Sales Managers and retailers, are here to support.

92 Breaking through Barriers 92 Treating your cereal offers numerous, proven advantages throughout the season, but for many growers, applying a treatment can pose several obstacles. However, the ever-increasing presence of - and soil-borne diseases, combined with the ongoing advancements in treatment technology, makes overcoming these obstacles well worth your while. Many growers can t recall their fathers or grandfathers applying treatments, and of the ones who do, they remember older formulations that were difficult to apply and even harder to clean up, says Allan Anderson, a specialist with the Bayer SeedGrowth team. These past experiences remain the most significant roadblock for using treatments. However, today s treatments are much easier to use and provide you with solid emergence and a healthy, strong crop right from the start. Let s take a look at some of the concerns identified by growers, and how they can be addressed: treatments Concern: Applying a treatment is messy. Solution: With ongoing formulation and packaging improvements, we re continually making treatments easier for you to apply. In addition to using a more sterile, closed system, formulations are now water-based to reduce dust and minimize buildup on equipment for easier application and cleanup. Whereas older formulations had a sticky syrup-like consistency and were difficult to deal with, today s micro-dispersion formulations can simply be rinsed off with water. Concern: Calculating proper application rates can be difficult. Solution: There are three main things that can affect coverage of your treatment, says Graham Hastie, Portfolio Manager, Cereals SeedGrowth with Bayer. Flow of the chemical Flow of your grain Seed density Most people will test the flow of chemical or know a certain pressure on the pump that provides the correct flow; others will test the flow of grain or control the flow of grain. However, we continue to see people using average pounds per bushel, and that can be out by up to 20% either way. Calibrating your equipment is crucial for the best results. Keep reading >>

93 93 Breaking through Barriers Concern: I will need specialized application equipment for optimal results. Solution: Anderson says it can be challenging to measure the quantity of being used, so improper application rates are common. But it is usually better information rather than new equipment that is needed. Sometimes it s a matter of making restrictor plates or doing a quick calibration on your pump and nozzle. Even using a stopwatch can go a long way in increasing your accuracy. Once you understand the mechanics behind it, it s an easy thing to do. In almost every case, I have been able to help growers do a better job with their existing equipment, he says. treatments Concern: How do I keep my tank and truck clean once it has had treated in it? Solution: Water-based formulations are easy to clean, but diligence is necessary to make sure all treated and dust are removed from trucks and augers. Grains Canada recommends cleaning all equipment, bins and vehicles after ing and again before harvest to make sure there is nothing left in your equipment. Proper cleanup of all transportation and handling equipment is essential to avoid contamination of other crops and harvested grain. Concern: It is impractical to store and dispose of treated. Solution: Treated should be stored in a cool, dry place, and excessive heat should be avoided. Leftover treated needs to be disposed of to avoid cross-contamination. Treated can be buried away from water sources, depending on your local regulations. Bags from treated should not be reused, and you should check local requirements on how to dispose of packaging. You can also take part in bag collection programs, where available. We can discuss quality and how important good quality is to getting your crop off to a good start, says Anderson, but whether you are using farm-saved cereal or soybean, or if you invest in certified, you need to protect it against - and soil-borne diseases, which can rob you of your yield potential. Nine times out of ten, you get better emergence, with more plants per square foot, setting up the crop for all the stresses it may face later in the year. Treating your can help take some of the guesswork out of disease expectations that are often dependent on weather. Back to Raxil PRO >> Back to Trilex EverGol >>

94 94 Get your Soybeans off to a Strong Start with EverGol Energy When disease strikes soybeans early, it can be hard for your crop to have a fighting chance. But when you protect your before it even goes into the ground, it has the potential for greatness. EverGol Energy protects against rot and ling diseases, allowing for strong germination, solid emergence and healthy stands. Soybeans are a relative newcomer to the Prairies. While they have flourished in the Red River Valley of Manitoba, there has been increased interest in soybeans as a rotational crop in non-traditional areas. More acres were ed to soybeans last year in Manitoba and Saskatchewan than ever before. But in order to successfully grow the crop in the cooler and dryer areas of the Prairies, the agronomics need to work and that includes controlling disease that is present in the soil across Western Canada. Seedling rot and ling disease will hurt your soybean crop by reducing germination and ling survival. A plant that does not emerge well, or has a weak stand, can have significantly reduced yield at harvest. In the worst cases, unhealthy emergence will result in plant death. To protect your crop against these diseases, EverGol Energy offers you systemic and contact fungicide control with three active ingredients from three different fungicide Groups metalaxyl (Group 4), prothioconazole (Group 3) and a new active ingredient, penflufen. Penflufen is a unique Group 7 chemistry for class-leading rhizoctonia protection providing stronger roots and better nutrient uptake. EverGol Energy is focused on protection against all the most serious diseases in soybeans, including rhizoctonia, fusarium, pythium, botrytis, phomopsis, smut and bunt. When combined with Stress Shield, you will also have control of all major insect concerns in your crop. treatments With its innovative formulation, EverGol Energy is designed to protect the crop in the early development stage for healthier plants that can result in better yields. EverGol Energy is: FIT FAST FIRST Disease-free plants with more developed roots produce healthier plants that are stronger and taller, and have bigger stems and more biomass. Young plants have more vigour and vitality, emerge quicker, and grow faster. Healthier plants and faster emergence result in better crop establishment and more biomass, so you can come in first with higher yields. Back to EverGol Energy >>

Minimizing selection pressure remains the best strategy for decreasing the spread of herbicide-resistant weeds and preserving the effectiveness of your herbicide tools into the future.

While intensity was highest in Eastern Canada, on the Prairies more than 5% of farms are dealing with glyphosate resistance.* Considering glyphosate resistance was first confirmed within Alberta in 2012 and Saskatchewan in 2013, without proper resistance management stewardship, it has the potential to spread at an alarming rate over the next five to ten years. *Source: 2013 Stratus Agri-Marketing survey treatments Back to Liberty >> GLYPHOSATE RESISTANT KOCHIA IN WESTERN CANADA Glyphosate-Resistant Kochia 2011 Glyphosate-Resistant Kochia 2012 Glyphosate-Resistant Kochia 2013 CALGARY LETHBRIDGE MEDICINE HAT LEADER SASKATOON MOOSE JAW SWIFT CURRENT REGINA WINNIPEG CARMAN Source: Glyphosate and ALS Inhibitor-Resistant Kochia in Western Canada Hugh J.

Once you and pencilled it in for the next season. But the strategy of using the same product on the same crop, year after year, catches up to you pretty quickly. treatments found a suitable combination of these, you regarded the product as good value CAUSE FOR ALARM Not only do resistant weeds take considerably more money and time to manage, the loss of any herbicide Group can leave you with fewer tools to work with, potentially threatening the economic viability of your farming operation. TAKE THE FIRST STEP The first step is to acknowledge the problem exists and accurately assess the situation. If you see any of the following, you should definitely consider resistance as a distinct possibility: Patches of escapes Poor weed control in certain areas of your field Although these are the telltale signs, if you wait to see them in your field, you are already behind. The answer to successfully combatting herbicide resistance, and preserving the sustainability of your operation, is to proactively implement a resistance management plan based on best agronomic practices.

99 Don t Let Dry Conditions Fool You - It Can Still Pay to Spray 99 There s no such thing as a disease-free crop. The amount of disease inoculum overwintering in the soil and on crop residue across the Prairies today means that every year your crop has the potential for a disease outbreak and high yield loss even if the season is dry.

100 Spray Early to Control Diseases in Pulses 100 As a general rule of thumb, by the time you can see signs of disease in the field, the damage is already done. With pulse crops, that rule is especially accurate due to how quickly disease can devastate your yield. Diseases in pulse crops spread rapidly and then remain active in the crop residue, wreaking havoc for years to come. New Delaro from Bayer gives your pulse crop protection from stem, pod and leaf disease. It offers you extended control of all the foliar diseases, including anthracnose, ascochyta, white mould, mycosphaerella blight and botrytis. treatments ASCOCHYTA CONTROL IN LENTILS ANTHRACNOSE CONTROL IN LENTILS Untreated Delaro 355mL/ac. With two modes of action, Delaro has both preventive and curative activity for broad-spectrum disease control in soybeans, peas, lentils and chickpeas. Delaro s contact activity delivers the active ingredient into the plant quickly to stop the spores from spreading. It then offers wide systemic control to keep disease from reducing yield. In field tests conducted over three years and through different geographies and climates, field peas that were sprayed with Delaro saw an average 38% yield advantage over the untreated check.* Even more impressively, lentil crops had an average 70% yield improvement relative to the untreated check.* *Source: Bayer internal inoculated and non-inoculated trials Your results may vary according to agronomic, environmental and disease variables. Untreated For your dry and edible bean crops, Propulse offers you first-class protection against white mould and anthracnose. With both contact and systemic protection, its dual modes of action result in improved quality and grade. In replicated trials, fields treated with Propulse saw a 183 lb./ac. increase over the untreated check.** **Source: Demonstration Strip Trials, 7 trials. Your results may vary according to agronomic, environmental and disease variables. The appearance of disease in pulses can be more unpredictable than in other crops, and its effects are often more devastating to yield. But with a timely fungicide application, disease doesn t have to be a roadblock to quality pulse crops anymore. Back to Delaro >> Delaro 355mL/ac. Back to Propulse >>

It can remain undetected for long periods of time, and once symptoms become visible, the damage has already been done. Sclerotinia has the potential to rob at least 10% of your yield and cause thousands of dollars in lost profit.* *Based on Agriculture Canada Statistics There are no Prairie regions immune to sclerotinia risk. While the severity of the disease is directly correlated to moisture levels, all canola is at risk. Dry and wet regions, cool and warm areas have all been impacted by the disease. That s because the sclerotia bodies that cause sclerotinia can overwinter in the soil for many years. treatments REGIONS IMPACTED BY SCLEROTINIA Alberta (2012*) 87% of fields surveyed had sclerotinia Within infected fields, 21% of plants infected Saskatchewan (2013) 60% of fields surveyed had sclerotinia Within infected fields, 5.1% of plants infected Manitoba (2013) 66% of fields surveyed had sclerotinia Within infected fields, 7.1% of plants infected *AB had no survey data for 2013 or 2014 Keep reading >>
