Controlling broadleaf weed species like wild mustard and shepherd's purse will not only reduce weed competition with the cole crop plants, he says, but will further eradicate alternative hosts of pests and disease. The mechanical harvesting of cole crops will be expediated by the absence of tall weeds, which are known to clog harvesting equipment. And besides eliminating hand hoeing, the plants will offer farmers new alternatives in crop selection. "The resistance factor will allow cole crops on land treated with thetriazine herbicide atrazine," says Ayotte. "It should open some new doors." Response by seed companies to the triazine resistance has been good. says Christopher Ostrovski, universi- ty technology development officer. "The technology is here, and available for licensing." he says. Ostrovski expects the plants to be popular with cole crop producers throughout North American and Europe, and foresees new oppor- tunities in China where cole crop pro- duction is popular. "It's a significant step forward." r Announcement Cook's Division of Gerbro Inc. We are pleased to announce the appointment of HIRAM THOMPSON to .the position of Branch Manager at Kirkton.
