New pesticide registrations

Agri-Réseau is a resource available through The Centre de référence en agriculture et agroalimentaire du Québec (CRAAQ).  Every month, they publish a list of new phytoprotection registrations.  At Perennia, we are fortunate to have Mélanie Leclerc as part of our staff, and she has translated the March list of new pesticide registrations for Fruit Trees, Field Crops, Vegetables, Greenhouse, Berries, Ornamental, and "Other" (hops, hemp, quinoa, and basil), which can be found here.

From the Vegetable side, the main excitement is a few more weed control options in asparagus, Brassicas, and shallots, and some new disease management options in asparagus, kohlrabi, Brassica leafy greens, and bulb vegetables (Group 3-07A and 3-07B, so bulb onions, garlic, shallots, green onions, leeks, etc.)

New Herbicide Registration for Red Table Beets

PMRA has granted registration of Betamix B EC Herbicide (desmedipham and phenmedipham) for the Control of Labelled Weeds on Red (Table) Beets. Betamix B EC is a selective post-emergence herbicide for weed control use in
sugarbeets and red (table) beet.

Timing of application is very important. The first spray must be applied when the earliest weeds have reached the cotyledon stage. Apply a maximum of 3 applications per season.
