Herbicide Spraying Wrapping Up

Jul 06, 2021

Herbicide spraying is wrapping up.

Kim Brown-Livingston is a weed specialist with Manitoba Agriculture.

"We're really at the tail end of it," she said. "We've got some second sprays going on our corn and our canola and our soybeans but we're really late in the day on that and we're getting to the end of the appropriate crop stage for that. In other areas of the province, we've had some reseeded canola and some of them are still getting sprayed but other wise we're kind of at the tail end of those second sprays."

She notes windy conditions have made it challenging for spraying this year, adding drift has been an issue for some farmers.

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.
