URGENT NOTICE TO GROWERS       The 2021 growing season has been tough across Western Canada — and no one knows that better than you. It has been one of the worst on record for both severe drought and extreme heat, and as a result, there is a high degree of risk of injury for sensitive crops, such as canola, durum wheat and canary seed.       We all know that certain environmental conditions can delay the breakdown of herbicide residues in soil. But this year is different.       Our research shows that in seasons where there has not been an adequate amount of rainfall throughout the season to facilitate herbicide breakdown in the soil, injury to more sensitive rotational crops is likely to occur. With current environmental records showing rainfall below this threshold for many parts of western Canada, we are making the following agronomic recommendations in addition to the current rotational crop recommendations on our imidazoline based herbicide labels:       • Growers who farm in the dark brown, black, grey or grey wooded soil zones who have received less than 125 mm of accumulated rainfall* between June 1 and September 1, 2021:     ∘ If you applied Solo® ADV, Solo Ultra or Viper® ADV in 2021 you should NOT plant canola, durum wheat or canary seed in 2022   ∘ If you applied Odyssey® NXT, Odyssey Ultra or Odyssey Ultra NXT in 2021 you should NOT plant durum wheat or canary seed in 2022   ∘ If you applied Odyssey NXT, Odyssey Ultra or Odyssey Ultra NXT in 2020 you should NOT plant canola in 2022       • Growers who farm in the brown soil zone who have received less than 125 mm of accumulated rainfall between June 1 and September 1, 2021* AND those who received less than 15 mm of rainfall in any of the months of June, July or August* 2021 (regardless of total accumulated rainfall between June 1 and September 1):     ∘ If you applied Solo ADV, Solo Ultra or Viper ADV in 2021 you should NOT plant canola, durum wheat or canary seed in 2022   ∘ If you applied Odyssey NXT, Odyssey Ultra or Odyssey Ultra NXT in 2021 you should NOT plant durum wheat or canary seed in 2022   ∘ If you applied Odyssey NXT, Odyssey Ultra or Odyssey Ultra NXT in 2020 you should NOT plant canola in 2022       As such, and due to the extreme risk of crop injury, BASF will not be supporting canola, durum wheat, and canary seed as follow crops in the 2022 season if these recommendations are not followed.       We also want to let you know that this Notice is the first in a series of communications from BASF. As your partner, we want to provide agricultural guidance and solutions to help you achieve success on your farm.       We’re here, by your side, in these unprecedented times.       We’ll be in touch again over the coming weeks.
