It’s critical to control cutworms in canola.  

Cutworm feeding can reduce plant populations and quickly thin out a canola stand, leaving it vulnerable to weeds and other pests. Cutworm damage can also cause increased variability in crop development and delay field maturity.

Cutworms are difficult to control because there are so many species in Western Canada; every species responds differently to various weather and soil conditions.

Using a seed treatment that effectively controls cutworms will provide peace of mind that your canola seed investment is fully protected. For example, Fortenza^® Advanced is an enhanced canola seed treatment that provides unparalleled protection from cutworms.

Fortenza Advanced seed treatment also reduces the likelihood that you’ll need to apply a foliar insecticide like Matador^® 120EC to rescue your crop later in the season.
