Importing countries are increasingly using highly sensitive equipment to test shipments and ensure compliance with set maximum residue limits (MRLs).
The webinar will cover topics such as proper staging for pre-harvest glyphosate application, the importance of following pre-harvest intervals (PHIs) for crop protection products and scouting for disease.
Presentations will be given by Krista Zuzak, Director of Crop Protection and Production, Cereals Canada; Greg Bartley, Director of Crop Protection & Crop Quality, Pulse Canada; and Ian Epp, Agronomy Specialist, Canola Council of Canada.
Greg Bartley emphasizes that applying a product like pre-harvest glyphosate for weed control too early can lead to unacceptable product residues in harvested grain. This can result in non-compliance or shipment rejections.
Attendees will also learn about digital tools on KeepitClean.ca. These include the Pre-Harvest Glyphosate Staging Guide and Pre-Harvest Interval Calculator. These tools help growers make informed spraying decisions using a mobile device.
The webinar is an excellent opportunity for growers, agronomists, retailers, and media to learn about the tools available to ensure their harvest meets the requirements of domestic and export customers. Registration for the webinar is now open.
