swathers, 'these are.usually steel rods, (e.g.
silo hoops) which curve up above the crop.

Quality: A sample is taken and hand picked
to-, determine the percentage of visibly
damaged seeds. A 100 seed counter stick is
repeated five' times tc determine green seed
percentage and.d ten times for heat damage
assessment. Dockage 'is- assessed as the.
material removed when theseed is cleaned.
Mustard seed, when it is.less thane 55 per cent
of the total; is disregarded and does': not
'affect -grade, but/at levels exceeding 5 per

produced.
Winter Canola
Many varieties of winter canola are now
available under contract. Winter survival
has been the" mainobstacle to production of
this crop. A 30 per cent stand whichis evenly
spaced will fill in to produce average yields.
The yield potential is 40 - 50 per cent more
than . spring canola but it is slightly less.
winter hardy than winter wheat: Loamy or
sandy soils are best as heaving is a problem
in, heavier soils. Good snow cover helps to
reduce this.
Planting: The optimum dates are mid -late
August. This allows . time to build root
reserves up but hot for theplant to grow too
high. Seeding rates of three to four kg/ha
mixed . withfive kg/ha of insecticide' sown
through a grain drill have given the best
.results. Fertilizer can be broadcast to supply
30 kg/h„ actual of nitrogen, phosophorus
and potash. Early spring is thetime to put on
100 kg/ha of actual nitrogen. This crop is
very competitive so herbicides are generally
not needed.
Harvesting: Winter canola- does not shatter
as much as spring canola so it may be direct.
combined. As with spring canola, .,dividers or
vertical cutter bars must be used to . guide
the plants into the combine. Swathing may
also be done. ' • .
ertified seed can aid
overall weed. control
The farmer's 'war on weeds' is a. fight that
ily never ends! Use of Certified seed plays
important part in keeping weed popula-
ns down.
Bin run seed is bound to contain a certain
el of weed seed contamination. Granted,
se will be weed species that are already
ablished in your soils. However, the weed
ds contained in -a bin run sample will
ply increase more competition, tougher
trol and a further build up of the weed
pulation.
ertified seed can, make an important
tribution ' to the overall weed -control
)gram. Canadian Seed Growers' Associa-
n (CSGA) members 'go to considerable
gth 3 to ensure that. '.their pedigreed
educt is free of weed seeds.. Prior to
tification, representative samples of
ry seed crop are submitted to Agriculture
nada laboratories. . '
trict governinent.standards dictate a very
roue testing procedure for samples of
ential Certified seed. No prohibited
ds - such as cleavers in rapeseed, or field
dweed in Wheat.. = are allowed. An
elute minitnuin of nuisance weeds (wild
s, stinkweek, etc.) is permitted. If the
sample doesn't meet these stringent criteria,
it cannot be sold as Certif-led seed.
Obviously, Pedigreed seed growers do
everyting possible to eliminate weeds in
their crops - their livelihoods depend on
doing so! . Comprehensive weed control
programs are practised on these farms.
Drills, combines and trucks are thoroughly
cleaned , between . each field and each
operation to prevent contamination, Certi-
fied seed is handled with separate augers,
and stored separately from other crops.
From seeding through final, cleaning, every
step of the production process is geared to
prevention of weed seed contamination.
Certification standards ensure numerous
other benefits. in addition to being weed
free, Certified seed guarantees high germ-
ination from, large kernels. that provide the
best in seedling vigour. Mvlinimal disease
levels also help in .producing maximum
yields:
Growers who use bin run seed are
gambling with all of their other crop produc-
tion inpets,: Per 'acre. coast savings are
negligible with bin run 'versus Certified
seed.
