🌱 Weed pressure doesn’t wait and neither should your management plan

Roberto Racho, Sales & Agronomy Associate with PRIDE Seeds in Western Canada, shares key insights on staying ahead of weeds early to protect crop health and yield potential all season long.

As planting season continues across Western Canada, weed pressure is already becoming a major focus in the field. In this video, Roberto Racho, Sales and Agronomy Associate with PRIDE Seeds, discusses the importance of staying proactive with early-season weed management to help protect crop performance and preserve yield potential from the very beginning.

Roberto explains how weeds can quickly compete with corn and soybeans for moisture, nutrients, sunlight, and space during the critical early growth stages. He highlights the importance of starting clean, using strong residual herbicide programs, and regularly scouting fields to stay ahead of emerging weed pressure before it becomes more difficult to control.

Throughout the video, Roberto reinforces that successful weed management starts with planning ahead and making timely decisions based on field conditions. As true Partners in the Field, the PRIDE Seeds team continues working alongside growers throughout the season to provide agronomic support and help growers make confident, informed management decisions when timing matters most.
