Canada - Pardner now keeps volunteer canola from robbing profitable yield - Bayer CropScience’s Pardner herbicide now a registered tank mix for pre-seed application on volunteer canola


Calgary, Alberta, Canada
March 19, 2014

Bayer CropScience has announced the label expansion for Pardner® herbicide to include application prior to seeding canola to control volunteer canola. The new registration allows canola growers to tank mix Pardner with Roundup WeatherMax® herbicide or other similar glyphosates to control more than 28 broadleaf weeds, even those resistant to other herbicide groups like Group 9-resistant kochia.

Pardner offers the proven benefits of Group 6 to control volunteer canola and broadleaf weeds, giving canola crops a chance to out-compete early season weeds and maximize yield potential.

“Canola lacks competitiveness during emergence so any struggle for nutrients caused by having volunteer canola and weeds in the field can significantly impact yield,” said Scott Henry, Development Manager at Bayer CropScience. “The new registration for Pardner allows growers to control glyphosate-resistant volunteer canola and broadleaf weeds, like buckwheat, with one product.”

Given the success of canola in Western Canada and the corresponding increase in acres, volunteer canola is a looming concern in 2014 and the foreseeable future. Tighter canola rotations and increasingly common wind storms have led to significant volunteer canola seed deposits across the Prairies.

Growers should assume that volunteer canola could contain LibertyLink®, Roundup Ready® and/or Clearfield® trait technologies, and be mindful of this when rotating between herbicides.

Pardner is a pre-seed herbicide for canola and is also registered for in-crop application on a number of crops including wheat, barley, oats, fall rye, corn, alfalfa, millet and onion.
