EFFECTIVE CLUBROOT MANAGEMENT WITH DEKALB CANOLA HYBRIDS

CLUBROOT MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES

Managing clubroot isn’t easy. You need an integrated clubroot management plan that employs a variety of best management practices so you can keep ahead of this disease. Take a look at some of the most effective strategies you can do in combination with DEKALB® clubroot resistant canola hybrids to help prevent and manage clubroot on your farm:• Crop rotation: 1 in 3-year canola crop rotation (minimum 2-year break) • Scouting: Proactive and comprehensive scouting can help you find and identify

clubroot before it takes hold• Do your best to minimize soil movement• Grow clubroot resistant hybrids if clubroot is a risk in your region• Use clubroot hybrids as a part of your integrated clubroot management plan• Control host weeds and canola volunteers• Consider patch management strategies• Consider lowering PH - Soil amendments (lime) to reduce infection

CLUBROOT RESISTANCE DEKALB canola hybrids with the clubroot resistance icon have a single source of clubroot resistance and are resistant to the currently predominate clubroot pathotypes

MULTI GENETIC CLUBROOT RESISTANCEDEKALB canola hybrids with the multi genetic clubroot resistance icon have more than one source of clubroot resistance and are resistant to a broad spectrum of clubroot pathotypes including some of the recently identified virulent pathotypes

CHOOSE YOUR DEKALB HYBRID BASED ON RESISTANCE REQUIREMENTS IN YOUR REGION

• In low-risk regions - grow clubroot resistant hybrids or non-CR hybrids with an integrated clubroot management plan

• Minimize soil movement: clean your equipment and minimize tillage

• Lengthen crop rotation• Don’t forget to scout! Especially

field entrances and low spots

• Scout for new patches or changing pathotypes

• Minimize soil movement • Control host weeds• Utilize a minimum 3-year rotation

to reduce spore load

• Continue scouting all canola fields• Minimize soil movement • Utilize a minimum 3-year rotation to

reduce spore load• Identify predominant pathotypes

if possible

LEGENDStraight cut hybrids are selected for their excellent harvestability and every consideration has gone into speeding up harvest while reducing losses and risk. DEKALB® hybrids with our SC or SC+ icons are bred specifically for enhanced pod integrity. These icons will provide farmers with a deeper understanding of pod integrity to allow them the flexibility to chose the best harvest management style for their farm. There are a lot of factors getting to the day of direct combining. Increased pod integrity in our genetics is a strong driver for reducing losses. In addition to pod integrity, our DEKALB SC hybrids feature early maturity and quick dry down allowing for an earlier, faster and smoother harvest. Natural dry-down means a desiccant isn’t always necessary, eliminating the need for another spray pass in the fall.

POD INTEGRITY RATING

Source: 2018-2020 Bayer Breeding and Market Development trials. Scale of 1 - 9, 1 = Excellent, 9 = Poor

The harvestability of some of the new varieties, like for straight cutting, has been phenomenal. Like the 82 SC. We really like it. It’s a short small plant. It dries down fast, still has good yield potential, but it makes for a very easy harvest for us.

EXPERIENCE THE DEKALB TARGETED PLANT POPULATION ADVANTAGE Our research has shown (consistent with the Canola Council of Canada1) that a targeted plant population of 5 to 8 plants/ft2 1 is the ideal way to maintain an optimal yield. Any less, and you leave your field more vulnerable to weeds. Any more and you risk potential thinner, less productive plants. To put it another way, 5 to 8 plants/ft2 1 is the perfect way to set your canola crop up for success. Our recommended seeding rate is 10 seeds per square foot. With average canola survivability in Western Canada ranging from 50-80%, this seeding rate supports a targeted plant population of 5-8 plants per square foot.

There are risks when managing plant stands with too low and too high plant densities.

Risks of low plant populations: • Non-uniform plant stand - this may be affected by the seeding practices or the field variability. A low

emergence rate could be the cause of low plant density. In fields that historically have patchy stands, a low seeding rate can compound the issue

• Weed control - low plant densities allow more room for weeds to grow. Vigilant weed management will be important if plant densities are lower2

• Uneven maturity - low plant stands may have increased branching. This can cause delayed maturity since branches flower and mature later than the main stem. In a short growing season, maturity may be an important factor to consider2

• Extended flowering time due to increased branching in low plant populations can make it difficult to stage and time a proper sclerotinia fungicide application

Risks of high plant populations:• Lodging - high plant densities (more than 14 plants per square foot) can result in increased lodging as

stems are thin and pods may be concentrated at the top of the plant3

• Disease - high plant densities can be more at risk for yield loss due to sclerotinia. A thick canopy and increased lodging can create ideal conditions for this disease4

• Internal crop competition - too many plants condensed in a row can lead to crop competition where plants compete for available resources to the point where some plants are thinned out

OPTIMAL SEEDING RATES. IT’S NOT ABOUT BAG WEIGHT. IT’S ABOUT PRECISION.We have a long history of packaging by seed count with corn and soybeans and now we’re applying the same methods of precision to canola seed. Using our unique ability to accurately measure TSW (thousand seed weight), we can ensure that every bag of DEKALB® canola contains no less than 4.25M seeds – the optimal target plant population for every 10 acres. Just choose the hybrid that’s right for you and you’re on your way to optimizing the performance of your DEKALB canola.

We count the seeds so you can make the seeds count.

PlanningWith every bag equal to 10 acres you can know in advance the exact amount of seed you need for your canola acres. DEKALB canola will be available in:

• 4.25M seeds/bag. Seeds 10 ac./bag• 85M seeds/tote. Seeds 200 ac./tote• 170M seeds/SeedPak. Seeds 400 ac./SeedPak

Packaging Regardless of TSW every bag of DEKALB canola will have no less than 4.25 million seeds per bag and is recommended to seed at 10 acres per bag. Simply divide the total pounds of the bag by 10 to get your seeding rate. Example: Bag weight is 45 lbs. 45 lbs/10 acres = 4.5 lbs/acre seeding rate.

DEKALB SILAGE READY HYBRIDSHIGH NUTRITIONAL VALUE AND QUALITY ON EVERY ACRE YOU GROW

Corn acreage has been expanding rapidly across Western Canada over the last decade as producers are recognizing the yield potential and quality of feed corn silage produces. The ability to produce higher tonnage off less acres in less time makes corn silage an attractive alternative to other feed sources. This has opened up opportunities for producers to achieve better weight gains with corn, open up acres for other crops or expand their herds, all while saving time in the summer putting up other winter feed sources.

For years, Bayer has tested our germplasm extensively for its fit as a silage product with high quality yield potential for Canadian farmers. Today, the DEKALB® brand provides seed with the potential to produce high quality silage and high beef yield potential per acre. These products benefit from genetics from around the world but are tested locally. You can expect hybrids with excellent agronomic characteristics, high yield potential, very good fibre digestibility, very high energy levels and the potential for very good milk or beef per tonne and milk or beef per acre.

Bayer continues to invest heavily in breeding DEKALB corn hybrids including breeding stations and Market Development testing locations across Western Canada. You can count on experienced DEKALB agronomists for advice on the right hybrids for your operation, so you get the most out of your fields.

NUTRITIONAL ANALYSIS

DEKALB offers a range of dual-purpose corn hybrids with exceptional agronomic characteristics, the result of breeding efforts based on many plots. We are continually working to develop products with better starch and neutral detergent fibre (NDF) digestibility combined with higher yield potential. Hundreds of silage samples are sent each year for laboratory analysis using the MILK2006 model developed by the University of Wisconsin. The model provides a silage quality index (kilograms of milk per tonne of silage), as well as a silage quality index based on yield (kilograms of milk per acre).

YIELD + QUALITY = FEED VALUE

Approximately 60% of yield is from the ear:• 40 to 45% is from the grain • 15 to 20% is from the rest (shank and husk)

The primary component of the ear is starch:• Responsible for approximately 45% of all dispensable energy in silage• Starch is 70 to 95% digestible

Approximately 40% of yield is from the stem and leaves:• 20 to 25% is from the stem • 15% is from the leaves

The primary component of the stem and leaves is Neutral Detergent Fibre (NDF)• Responsible for approximately 25% of all dispensable energy in silage• NDF is 40 to 70% digestible

A GOOD SILAGE CORN PRODUCT HAS:• High Milk per Tonne (MPT) • High Milk per Acre (MPA)• High silage yield • High Neutral Detergent Fibre (NDF) digestibility • High starch digestibility

DEKALB® SILAGE READY™ HYBRIDS ARE DETERMINED BY: • Evaluating experimental and commercial corn hybrids every year

• Taking a silage sample of each hybrid and testing for key information with a focus on milk or beef per acre for maximum return on your farm

• Predicting milk and beef production potential using tools such as MILK2006 model from the University of Wisconsin

• Undergoing testing for a minimum of 2 years over 8 sites with demonstrated high yield and quality attributes in their respective growing zones

HOW DO WE RATE DEKALB SILAGE READY HYBRID PRODUCTS? • The rating for a given hybrid’s attributes is determined through our

Canadian Market Development testing program of randomized and replicated plots

• A hybrid needs to have demonstrated high yield attributes in its respective growing zone, measured as tonnage, corrected to 65% standard moisture (TM65%) and milk/acre measured as pounds of milk produced per acre

• Hybrids require a minimum of 2 years of testing to ensure consistency of performance

DUAL PURPOSE CORN HYBRIDS

DEKALB® offers a range of dual-purpose corn hybrids that can either be harvested for grain or silage, giving the grower great flexibility of use at the end of the season. It is not necessarily the best grain corn hybrids that make the best silage hybrids. But a good silage hybrid is often a product with a very good grain yield. In fact, grain accounts for nearly 60% of dry matter and it is from grain that most of the energy (45%) comes from. Hybrid size is also not necessarily related to final yield: a shorter hybrid with a larger ear can yield more silage than a larger, very leafy hybrid with a smaller ear.

All DEKALB corn hybrids are tested for silage qualities such as nutrition, digestibility, tonnage and regional agronomic fit through extensive field testing across Canada after commercialization. The DEKALB Silage Ready™ brand provides great performing hybrids with the potential to produce high quality silage and high milk yield potential per acre or beef yield per acre.

The benefits of this include:• Combining high digestibility with high energy content• Allowing more flexibility to foster maximum whole-farm profitability• Simplifying management• Bayer traits offer insect and crop protection leading to higher yield potential

DEKALB SILAGE READY HYBRIDS OFFER:• Strong agronomic traits

• High yield potential

• High NDF digestibility

• High starch (digestible starch)

• High milk per tonne and milk per acre

MORE RESEARCH LEADING TO BETTER DECISIONS

The agronomic traits of DEKALB hybrids are just as important for silage as they are for grain. DEKALB's priority is to bring to market silage hybrids with superior qualities such as early season vigour, stem and root strength, staygreen and stress tolerance. More than 300 field scale trials of grain corn and silage have been established in the last five years in Western Canada alone to evaluate the performance of our hybrids and their agronomic strengths. These trials are established on farms locally to gain insight and meet the needs of growers. DEKALB agronomists use the trials to rigorously evaluate each hybrid throughout the season.

• Bayer Market Development team plants hundreds of test plots annually, collecting specific silage data including dNDF, MPT and MPA data

• We work in partnership with Canadian testing facilities and communicate with US colleagues to make sure our testing program delivers relevant and accurate information

• Bayer continues to develop new and improved methods for analysis of higher quality silage products

EXPERT DEKALB SUPPORT YOU CAN TRUST• Silage products backed by dedicated agronomists, sales and support staff • Researched and field-tested in local conditions, including MILK2006 nutrition tests

• Genetics sourced globally and tested locally for maturity, disease and • Hands-on agronomic advice for maximum yield potential insect resistance

THE MILK2006 MODEL

• FROM TESTING TO MODELING - MILK2006

– The MILK2006 model, developed at the University of Wisconsin, compares the silage yield and quality of corn products. The model evaluates silage corn products for digestibility, fibre, starch, crude protein and animal intake potential. It then converts these factors into milk per tonne (MPT), which is a measure of estimated intake of energy from corn silage. Milk per acre (MPA) is then calculated using the milk per tonne value and dry matter yield per acre. Therefore, MILK2006 provides an index of silage quality (milk per tonne) and silage quality by yield (milk per acre). This model is considered a good predictor of animal performance. Testing for DEKALB Silage Ready products is done across a large variety of management areas across Canada.

• FROM MODELING TO SCREENING

– After being evaluated using the MILK 2006 model, each hybrid is rated for MPT and MPA as a percent of the plot index (grouped by maturity). Hybrid families are rated together and an overall rating is determined for each hybrid.

The NEW 2022 DEKALB soybean varieties with the Roundup Ready 2 Xtend soybean trait are the first step in achieving high yield potential in your fields. Complete the Roundup Ready® Xtend Crop System by applying Roundup Xtend with VaporGrip Technology herbicide for superior weed control on weeds such as buckwheat and kochia.

DEKALB IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING EARLY MATURING OPTIONS, BRED AND TESTED FOR YOU IN WESTERN CANADAWith the newest genetics from DEKALB®, you can get the variety that best suits the agronomic needs of your farm. DEKALB soybeans offer reliable performance and harvest ease through a robust and broad spectrum weed control system. The short-term residual activity of Roundup Xtend® and XtendiMax® herbicides with VaporGrip® Technology can help reduce early weed competition and improve late-season control, supporting higher yield potential and cleaner fields at harvest.

INTRODUCING OUR 3 NEW SOYBEAN VARIETIES

Introducing DKB0003-24, the earliest variety in the DEKALB lineup with 000.3 RM. This Roundup Ready 2 Xtend® variety excels in moderate-to-high fertility environments, and is an excellent fit for no-till. The disease package for DKB0003-24 includes resistance to soybean cyst nematode and phytophthora root rot resistance gene Rps1c & 1k.

The new DKB0008-87 variety has a 000.8 RM and suits all soil types tested. It has excellent no-till adaptability, along with very good emergence and seedling vigour. The disease package for this variety includes excellent tolerance to white mould, phytophthora root rot resistance gene Rps1c & 1k as well as having resistance to soybean cyst nematode.

DKB008-48 is a new variety with 00.8 RM. This medium-to-tall variety has excellent standability and consistent performance across all soil types and yield environments tested. It also offers a strong disease package and soybean cyst nematode resistance.

SEEDING RECOMMENDATIONSSelecting more tolerant varieties can be effective in managing diseases such as white mould and maintaining yield potential. While no soybean varieties are completely resistant, DEKALB® offers varieties with tolerance to white mould and high standability ratings. In fields with a history of white mould, avoid planting highly susceptible varieties, reduce populations and consider using Delaro® fungicide.

EVERY SEASON HAS A STORY

FALL - HARVEST• Harvest is the opportunity to evaluate DEKALB® hybrid and variety performance

in different environmental conditions • There are a lot of factors to consider during harvest beyond yield; keep track of

moisture, weather conditions, standability and harvest date, as well as combine speed to make the best analysis for next year

WINTER - PLANNING• Have all your information in one place so it can be easily viewed and shared with

your trusted DEKALB partner in order to best set up your fields for success • Review factors that may have affected your crop performance over the year

from spring conditions, populations, in-season applications, to harvest date. It all adds up to you being able to choose the best hybrid or variety for next season. Plus, you can access localized trial results from Bayer Market Development on DEKALB.ca to support your on-farm data

• Create custom variable rate seeding prescriptions tailored to your fields using manual scripting; work with your trusted DEKALB partner to identify check strips or adjust zones

SPRING - PLANTING• A lot of planning goes into seed decisions every year: hybrid or variety,

seeding date, seed treatment, and fertility plans. FieldView, along with your trusted DEKALB® partner, helps you create and execute a crop plan tailored for your fields and track it throughout the season to manage any changes

• Manage hybrids and varieties seeded in each field and record any plot or split planter trials

SUMMER - GROWING• Continue to manage your crop plan and record any changes to create field

reports and tracking. Use scouting tools to identify any points of interest in your field and easily share that data with your crop team

• Begin to monitor field dry down and vegetation using field health imagery to help determine field harvest order and crop maturity for your DEKALB products

CORNGR The hybrid/herbicide combination can result in plant height reduction, stand loss and suspected yield loss under very adverse environmental conditions, high rates or extreme soil pH levels or organic content.

Use of drop nozzle spraying for post-emergence herbicides or planting in warm soils for incorporated herbicides may avoid interactions.

Consult your DEKALB® dealer for additional information.1 CORN RELATIVE MATURITY Relative maturity (RM) can be used to compare product’s maturity to existing products in the DEKALB lineup. The relative maturity of a hybrid is assessed by comparing the harvest maturity to established products with known RM ratings. Relative maturity assignments are based on four main components: Harvest moisture, Growing Degree Units (GDUs) to mid pollination (flowering), test weight, and plant health.2 TARGET POPULATION Final plant population in thousands suggestions are based on medium-to-high yield environment. In fields with lower yield potential consider targeting slightly lower population. Adjust planting rate to suit individual field conditions.3 HERBICIDE SAFETY Ratings are based on observations and permitted research using herbicides at and above labeled rates to simulate extreme environmental conditions, misapplication and adverse soil pH or organic content.

Either no adverse effects from the hybrid/herbicide combination were noted or only slight damage could be noted under adverse conditions or herbicide application at higher than label rates.
