A number of new DuPont herbicide product developments were presented on the Touch Tomorrow Tour in Thorndale, Ontario. 

In soybeans

Presenting new soybean herbicides from DuPont, including products with multiple modes-of-action and product developments for GT and IP soybeans.

• Featuring DuPont™ Canopy™ PRO, Freestyle™, Guardian® and Guardian® Plus.

• A complete portfolio of soybean herbicides from DuPont. New use patterns and tank-mixes in soybeans including 2, 3 and 4 herbicide groups for control of herbicide resistant biotypes.

• New PrecisionPac® blends with multiple modes of action.

In corn

Presenting new Innovations in corn herbicides from DuPont including:

• DuPont™ Engarde™ herbicide combinations and use patterns.

• NEW early post-emergent corn herbicide for early to mid-post broad-spectrum weed control in glyphosate tolerant corn.

Fungicide, insecticide and seed treatment developments

Presenting new developments in these areas, and showcasing:

• DuPont™ Coragen® insecticide to control Western bean cutworm, offering:

                • Registered on a wide variety of crops.

                • Single MOA allows growers to rotate chemical groups easily for better resistance management             compared to tank-mixes.

                • Reduced risk profi le means it’s easy on applicators, bees and other benefi cials.

                • Class-leading buff er zones.

                • Short re-entry intervals.

                • Controls hatching insects all the way through to adult stages of development.

 

 

• DuPont™ Acapela® fungicide to control Northern corn leaf blight in corn and white mould in soybeans offering:

                • Broad-spectrum disease control.

                • A new tool for the management of white mould in soybeans.

                • Healthier crops and higher yield potential.

                • Preventative and residual activity.

                • Flexibility to use on a variety of crops including corn, soybeans, canola, cereals, and dry edible                beans.

                • Reliable and powerful protection under a variety of conditions.

• DuPont™ Lumiderm™ insecticide seed treatment for canola offering:

                • Contains the active ingredient cyantraniliprole, a new mode of action in seed treatment -         Group 28.

                • Only seed treatment product that provides cutworm control.

                • Systemic and residual activity: protecting the cotyledons and early leaves for up to 35 days      from flea beetles and cutworms.

                • Excellent plant protection: better consistency of crucifer & striped fl ea beetle control across a               broad range of environmental conditions.

                • Enhanced seedling performance: increased biomass, vigour & germination, leading to strong seedling performance, allowing for optimized yield.

Supporting B.C. tech strengthens general aviation emergency response

Two B.C. companies are receiving provincial support to deploy clean-energy technology that strengthens backup power reliability for general aviation aircraft in B.C., replacing diesel generators with battery storage to keep critical services, such as wildfire response, medical transport and search and rescue, running during emergencies. With as much as $1 million being provided through B.C.’s Integrated Marketplace, Abbotsford-based Fast Air will deploy a mobile battery and solar power system developed by Richmond-based Holinova at the Abbotsford International Airport. The system is designed to power ground equipment and aircraft charging needs without relying on the electrical grid, providing a cleaner alternative to traditional diesel-powered backup power systems and helping maintain operations during outages or high-demand situations. The project is anticipated to improve charging efficiency, support flexible aircraft movements and enhance operational resilience during periods of

Protein Industries Canada invests in AI technology to boost on-farm productivity and bring new solutions to farmers

Protein Industries Canada is investing in two new artificial intelligence (AI) projects to help Canadian farmers and the value-added agriculture sector improve on-farm productivity with new tools, supporting a stronger, more sustainable and competitive food system. Together, the projects represent a total investment of $4.9 million, including up to $2.2 million from Protein Industries Canada, and will help growers act earlier on disease risk, and improve safety and accuracy in grain storage. “Canadian farmers are increasingly adopting cutting-edge technologies to strengthen productivity, sustainability and global competitiveness,” said the Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Industry and Minister responsible for Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions. “Through Protein Industries Canada, one of Canada’s global innovation clusters, we are investing in made-in-Canada AI solutions to help producers protect their yields, optimize inventory management and make informed business de

Seed-treatment timing critical

Most seed put into the ground in the Midwest is treated, but the jury is still out as to the most effective use of chemical and biological additives. There’s little doubt that treatments are beneficial but there’s much to be learned. “What’s probably getting more growth is on the inoculants side,” said Connor Sible, a University of Illinois professor who has conducted various research projects on treatments. He said inoculants are increasingly being chosen for aiding plant growth rather than battling pests. “A lot of products added are targeting nutrient availability,” he said. “There’s been a lot of research in the (United) States and internationally – greenhouse studies in very controlled environments.” An extensive study by scientists at REVA University in Bangalore, India, indicates that “seed priming” is a cost-effective strategy for improving plant health and development. The study report compiles information from almost 400 studies worldwide. It shows that biological seed tr

Trail King: Transport solutions for every trailer owner

Replace or refurbish? It’s a question every hauling trailer owner encounters at some point down the road. According to the experts at Trail King Industries, Inc., the right time to evaluate a trailer’s future depends primarily on age, total mileage and usage. While some owners might use their trailer two to three times a week for their own business needs, others are operating a business and may run their trailers every day throughout the year. Trail King Industries, Inc., headquartered in Mitchell, South Dakota, is the leading manufacturer of a complete line of hauling trailers in North America. Since 1974, the company has designed, engineered and manufactured trailers across diverse industries including construction, agriculture, waste and recycling, transportation and specialized hauling.
