Don’t risk another pass due to ineffective or off-target applications. Tank-mix your glyphosate with LI 700 with Leci-Tech, a non-ionic penetrating surfactant that reduces off-target spray and spray water pH.

Water hardness is a measure of the total concentration of hard water ions. These include: iron, zinc, magnesium, calcium, sodium and potassium. Calcium (Ca2+) and magnesium (Mg2+) are the biggest influencers of antagonism because they tend to be found in greater concentrations.

In the busyness of spraying season, it's often easy to overlook safety risks when handling pesticides. Here are some important safety tips to keep in mind.

Recent field research is driving a new understanding of the best approaches for growers to protect their cereal crops and get the greatest benefits from fungicide applications. Here’s an overview of the latest knowledge and how growers can take advantage.

Controlling weeds with a pre-seed glyphosate application has become standard practice in much of Western Canada. The question is: is applying glyphosate alone in the spring the best practice? The answer is no.
