Quiz – Am I too late?

Four scenarios with “Yes” or “No” answers on application timing.

1. Cotyledons are chewed up, but the new leaves look good. Did I miss the opportunity to spray those flea beetles? 
2. Canola is at the six-leaf stage and I’m seeing lesions that could be blackleg. Should I still spray fungicide?

3. I have the standard glyphosate-resistant canola (Bayer calls it Genuity Roundup Ready) and the crop is at the seven-leaf stage. Am I too late to spray?

*NOTE: This image is from a sprayed crop. We used it to show what a 7-leaf canola plant looks like.*

7-leaf stage.
4. I have TruFlex glyphosate-resistant canola and the crop is at the seven-leaf stage. Am I too late to spray?
