Fungicide spraying continues: Manitoba Crop Report

Jul 28, 2022

Weekly Provincial Summary

Rainfall amounts varied across the province with the highest amounts falling in the Eastern and Interlake regions. Most locations in Manitoba received between 20 to 60 mm in the preceding seven days. The Northwest region is the exception, where rainfall amounts ranged from 1 to 32 mm.

Frequent rains and generally warm temperatures have elevated risk for many fungal diseases. Application is widespread for wheat, oat, barley, canola and pea crops.

Fungicide spraying is ongoing in all regions as later crops reach the correct stage. Rainfall has made ground applications challenging.

Grasshoppers are present in many areas of the province with spraying occurring on headlands and across entire fields in some areas.

Video: New Solution Powers Efficient Pork Growth

Alltech has introduced Olerix, an innovative phytogenic blend created to promote growth and feed efficiency in pigs. Through a proprietary coating process, the bioactive blend of phytogenic compounds used in Olerix is designed to outlast the manufacturing process, ensuring consistent outcomes from feed to finish. The result is a high-impact efficiency solution that provides consistent support for gut health, feed efficiency, immune function and growth performance. Olerix is backed by validated trials conducted under modern pork production conditions.

“As the industry searches for technology to drive profitability forward in a more sustainable manner, we’re thrilled to join that effort with our Olerix technology,” said Mark Hulsebus, general manager for U.S. pork at Alltech. “Our work in this phytogenic space is yielding very encouraging results, and we’re excited to make this new opportunity available to pork producers focused on optimizing feed efficiency and growth rates.”

“Olerix represents the next generation of phytogenic technology — combining feed efficiency, livability and immune support into a practical commercial solution producers can implement today,” said Andy Rash, U.S. monogastric director at Alltech.
