Two crop protection products added to advisory list

Keep it Clean has released its 2022 product advisory on potential market risks associated with specific crop protection products when used on some crops. Farmers are urged to review the list and its warnings.

“We also recommend growers always consult with their grain buyers before applying any products on the product advisory to keep their crops market ready throughout the growing season,” said Krista Zuzak, an official with Cereals Canada.

There are two new items on the product advisory this year. Fluopyram has a “do not use” warning for malt barley and “be informed” for use on barley for feed or food. As well, the advisory for Sethoxydim is to “be informed” for use on lentils and chickpeas.

Beware giving horses too much iron

Horses consuming too much iron through diet or well water risk health problems like laminitis. Mineral testing forage and water is good practice for owners.
