Ag. Canada approves
new vegetable herbicide
Agriculture Canada has granted approval
for use of Poast, a highly selective postemer-
gence grass herbicide, marketed by BASF
Canada Inc., for weed control in potatoes,
tomatoes, dry bulb onions, snap beans, dry
beans and dry peas.
Jim Stewart, manager of research and
development for BASF, says the new labeling
also permits Poast to be used for quackgrass
control in potatoes, sugar beets, flax, dry
peas, dry beans, tomatoes, dry bulb onions
and soybeans. The registrations add to
current labeling for annual grass control in
soybeans, canola, sugar beets and flax.
The label additions also will allow growers
to reduce rates of Poast from 4.4 to 2.7 liters
per hectare for quackgrass control in
rgybeans. flax and potatoes when it is tank
mixed with BASF ammonium sulphate and
Assist oil concentrate.
increASF ammonium sulphate appears to
ase the speed at which Poast is absorbed
by quackgrass leaves and translocated to
rhizomes below the soil surface," Mr.
Stewart said. "This is the first fertilizer to
have been proven and registered as an
adjuvant in Canada."
For most effective quackgrass control,
BASF recommends preplant tillage to chop
up rhizomes below the soil surface and
ensure uniform emergence of young quack -
grass plants. Treat quackgrass in the one to
three leaf stage. Cultivation 7-10 days after
treatment in wide -row crops also is advised
for optimum results.
Federal government to assist
apple producers, processors
Agriculture Minister John Wise an-
nounced the federal government will assist
apple producers and processors in Ontario
and Quebec in shipping surplus apples to
Nova Scotia.
The $452.000 program will help the
industry offset transportation costs. Agricul-
ture Canada will pay two-thirds of the
shipping charges up to a maximum of $45
per tonne from Ontario and $35 per tonne
from Quebec. The processor will pay the
rest
A lack of sufficient processing facilities
has resulted in a 12,000 -metric tonne surplus
of juice apples in Ontario and Quebec. At the
same time, processors in Nova Scotia are
faced with a shortage resulting from a small
crop.
Apple producers and apple juice process-
ors who ship 1985 juice apples out of Ontario
or Quebec to Nova Scotia will be eligible to
receive assistance for transportation costs
incurred up to December 31, 1985.
