Canola TV - Winter Canola Begins Approaching Dormant Stage
Mon, 12 Dec 2011 16:55:28 CST
In this edition of Canola TV, Ron Hays talked with Heath Sanders of PCOM about the dormant stage that winter canola will be approaching in the next few weeks. Hays and Sanders also talk about how often canola farmers should be checking their fields during these winter months.
Sanders says that while some canola fields are still green, a majority of the fields are beginning the dormant stage with the leaves turning brown or white. However, Sanders adds that the winter canola plant needs to go dormant during these months to make seeds in the spring.
Also, Sanders says that while there is generally not a lot of activity going on in the winter months, growers need to get in the habit of checking their fields. For the month of December, Sanders suggests growers check their canola fields once a week. For January and February, Sanders says they need to check once or twice a week because the plant will begin to come out of dormancy during that time.
