Western Canada's Billion Dollar Rain....

[Hopalong]

Even one inch or so of heavy rain not good on canola that is just emerging and the longer it takes for soils to start to dry out, the worse it is.

Cam anyone answer this question. ...why does volunteer canola not get chewed up by flea beetles?

[fjlip]

Our volunteers are all gone, eaten by the beetles, now are they waiting for seeds to emerge or is cycle over?

We had canola hit with frost then two days later pounded with 1 1/2 in rain and hail , flattened like a steam roller . A few fields made it one did not .
That rain / hail happened in 20 min .
Canola is funny that way is seems so delicate at times and others it like a raging bull .
We had stuff buried 2 in deep . And our soil is rather on the heavy clay side where it happened.
You just never know wtf

Striped flea beetle control sucks in all seed treatment in those situations. Always

One or two bites on the stem and - "she gone "

the experts say no , but we have had canola grow back and some with a double stem lots of times after cutworm infestations .
