Herbicide hard on kochia, easy on the crop rotations

Apr 11, 2023

Growers in the dark brown and brown soil zone have a new herbicide option designed to control kochia in cereals.

Corteva Agriscience’s OnDeck has a Group 6 (bromoxynil) and a Group 27 (tolpyralate), an active ingredient that is new to the western Canadian cereal market.

Jason Smith, Corteva’s western portfolio marketing manager for cereal herbicides, said OnDeck will be a valuable tool to help fight herbicide resistant kochia.

Essentially, all kochia on the Prairies is considered resistant to acetolactate synthase inhibitor and there are populations resistant to glyphosate, dicamba, and fluroxypyr.

Last summer, kochia resistant to PPO inhibitors may also have surfaced in Saskatchewan.

Video: The Corn Looks Good!

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. We also have a part-time employee, Brock. My dad started the farm in 1980. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.

I hope you enjoy my content and ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can. Thanks for watching!
