Optimizing Canola Yields with WOLF TRAX™ Boron DDP™

Proper nutrient management ensures crops receive the right amount of essential nutrients at the right times in the growing season. Without balanced nutrition, plants become susceptible to diseases, pests and environmental stresses, ultimately compromising productivity.

In Canada, canola faces deficiencies in various micronutrients, particularly boron. Because micronutrient deficiencies in canola can negatively impact the crop, it’s important to recognize the common symptoms of deficiency, including:

Stunted growth
Poor seed set
Hollow or discolored stems
Limited root development
Leaf curling and wilting

“Micronutrient deficiencies often go unnoticed until they are severe and significantly impact yield,” said Bryce Geisel, senior agronomist and representative of Koch Agronomic Services. “By proactively managing these nutrients, especially boron in canola, we can ensure healthier plants and better productivity. Addressing these needs early in the season helps prevent problems before they start.”

Understanding the Role of Boron in Canola

Boron plays a vital role in the reproductive development of canola plants, directly impacting yield and grain quality. It is essential for cell wall formation, pollen tube growth and seed development. Adequate boron levels also ensure better standability, flowering and seed set, leading to higher yields.

Canola plants must continuously take up boron throughout their growth cycle, as it is generally immobile within the plant and cannot be translocated from older tissues to newer tissues.

“Micronutrient planning is important for your operation. Boron deficiency symptoms can be challenging to detect early but are hard to correct once they manifest,” said Geisel. “Boron, like other micronutrients, is best applied early in the crop’s lifecycle so it can be taken up as needed. To assist with this, using the right products can help provide easily accessible boron to the crop.”
