Quadris fungicide
Quadris, a foliar fungicide from Syngenta, has received an emergency
use registration for control of ascochyta blight in chickpeas in
Saskatchewan.
The approval was granted by the Pest Management Regulatory Agency in
response to a request from Saskatchewan Agriculture.
Quadris is not a cure-all for ascochyta, which is a highly mobile,
aggressive disease.
“It’s important to begin scouting at the seedling stage for signs of
disease,” said Penny Pearse, provincial plant disease specialist.
“To gain proper control of ascochyta, a fungicide application is
recommended once symptoms are found.”
Quadris is a strobilurin, which is a new class of foliar fungicide that
uses systemic action to move through the plant’s xylem and protect it
from the inside out.
Once applied, Quadris will move through into new growth. It’s effective
during the vegetative stages of plant development when growth is most
rapid. If the disease is controlled at this stage, the risk of late
season infection is reduced.

New flax guide

Growing Flax – Production, Management and Diagnostic Guide has current
herbicide and variety lists, and updated disease information.
There is also a chapter on the uses for flax, from stem to seed,
including linoleum, feed, food and fibre.
The new guide was produced by the Flax Council of Canada and
Saskatchewan Flax Development
Commission.
It is available at provincial agricultural offices, from the flax
council at 204-982-2115 or the flax commission at 306-664-1901.
Saddle system
The Korrector is a British-made system of air bags designed to replace
the flocking used in conventional saddles.
It provides a soft, flexible surface without pressure points, and
benefits the horse by increasing the bearing surface of the saddle’s
panel.
Four air bags are fitted over a foam insert inside two pockets, one on
each side of the saddlecloth’s spine. There are a pair of front bags
and a pair of back bags. When used together the bags overlap.
The foam insert compresses under the movement of the horse’s muscles,
moulding to the horse’s shape and absorbing the shock of the horse and
rider’s movement.
The rider uses a pump and valves to adjust the bags to gain the correct
ride, height and balance of the saddle while mounted on the horse.
