This is a special episode produced in collaboration with Sask Barley and the Barley Bin podcast.
Herbicide resistance is a growing issue across the Prairies. One of the largest concerns for herbicide resistance is wild oats. According to the Herbicide Resistant Wild Oat Action Committee, approximately 69% of wild oats across the Prairies display herbicide resistance; 62% to group 1, 27% to groups 1 & 2, and 34% to group 2.
In this episode, we explore the management strategies employed to combat herbicide resistant wild oats on Josh Lade's farm near Osler, Saskatchewan. Josh grew up in Australia, which gives him a unique perspective on herbicide resistance. His background has led him to help adapt and prepare his farm for management of current and future development of new herbicide resistant weeds.
Josh came to Canada in 2010 on a farm exchange and moved to Canada and started farming with the Wiebe family in 2013. The farm has been dealing with herbicide resistant wild oats since 2013 and they have developed an impressive management program, including harvest weed seed control, patch targeted spraying, herbicide layering, and on farm trials.
