Farmers looking for seed treatments on canola will have very limited options this spring. Helix will be available as it was last year, only on the major seed companies seed varieties with the exception of some secan varieties. Helix will not be available for sale to the seed treaters for common seed. This brings up the other options, only one Gaucho cs fl. Prosper canola seed treatment looks unlikely to be available and Foundation/Assail is to be pulled.
So with the promise of a whole new line of seed treatments to replace lindane for canola looking pretty slim, and the seed/treatment industry seems to be gaining the upper hand in the 'brown bag' war.
Canola seed prices are rising to the tune of well over %200 in the past 5 years in a crop the will not be able to compete in the global soyabean market.
