Cabbage seed pod weevil
Definition
An insect pest in winter canola. The biggest threat to winter canola. Lays eggs in the seed pod during seed-filling. The larvae feed on seeds, causing yield loss and reduction in grade.

Definition
Special care must be taken when harvesting dry peas for food markets. High numbers of split, cracked, or soil-contaminated seeds makes the peas suitable only for feed. Quality is determined by splitting, cracking, soil contamination, stone contamination and bleaching. Handling of the crop should be gentle to avoid seed damage. Threshing is similar to soybeans.

Definition
Winter canola is anti-mycorrhizal; cannot grow corn after canola for this reason.
Term
Nitrogen (adzuki bean)
Definition
There is no benefit to inoculating adzukie beans, even though they are N fixing. It will fix N if inoculated with a specific bacteria, supplied by the contracting elevator. It is better to apply N fertilizers. It is common to apply 100 kg/ha as insurance towards bronzing of leaves and root rots, and boost yields with larger seed size and better quality. Liquid 28-0-0 or dry fertilizers can be used.
Term
Mexico
Definition
A major producer of canola oil.
Term
Nitrogen (dry pea)
Definition
Dry peas can fix N, and get most of their N from fixation using Rhizobium leguminosarum. If N tests are very low (<30 kg/ha), apply 20 kg/ha at planting to support crop until fixation is underway. If the crop responds to N fertilizer, it is not fixing at its maximum rate. MAP can be used.

Term
Ontario
Definition

In 2000, Ontario produced 5,000 ac of winter canola, mostly in Repley, Harriston, and Thamesville counties. In 2013, Ontario produced 2,000 ac of winter canola.

Deep tap roots grow into tile drains. Freezing tolerance or chemical applications that overcome spring deathe are needed for winter canola to become popular in Ontario.

13,000 ac of adzuki beans were grown in 2014 in Ontario, 90% of which were exported to Japan.

Definition
Adzuki beans can be treated with Crusier Max Beans. Time planting to avoid heavy rainfall and crusting. Adzuki beans have weak root systems, and lack early season vigour. Seeds are small: over 4000 seeds/lb. Rolling is good practice after planting, to ensure good soil to seed contact, and ensuring direct harvest header doesn't pick up rocks.
Term
Planting (dry pea)
Definition
Dry peas are usually planted with an air seeder. Equipment must be capable of planting the seed gently without splitting them. Most western air seeders use shovel openers rather than disk openers. Plant into moisture. Plant as early as possible in the spring, as soon as soil temperature is at least 5ºC. MAP can be used.
Term
Planting (winter canola)

Term
Pulling (adzuki beans)
Definition
A method of harvesting adzuki beans. 90% of pods have changed colour. Pulling, windrowing, then combining. Use if header loss is a problem. A knife or chain puller is required to pull the beans from the ground, and a windrower merges the piles into windrows which are then combined. Alternatively, pull-type bean combines can be used. Equipment is more expensive, but this method often gets higher quality beans.

Term
Rhizobium leguminosarum
Definition
The N-fixing rhizobium bacteria that fixes N for dry peas. There are different strains for other legumes. It is lost over the winter, so inoculation is necessary every year dry peas are grown. Inoculants are available as dry powdered peat, liquids, granular, or pre-inoculated seed.

Term
Rotation (winter canola)
Definition
Winter canola is anti-mycorrhizal. Do not follow with corn: always results in poor stunted crop: corn needs mycorrhizae for good P uptake. Do not follow with soybeans or edible beans, for white mould and anthracnose risk.
Term
Row width (adzuki bean)
Definition
Special plates are needed to plant adzuki beans: typically a 30" corn planter is used for good soil contact and depth control. However, narrower rows could assist in direct combining, since pods would be higher off the ground.

Term
Sulfur (winter canola)
Definition
Winter canola requires abundant S. Deficiencies threat yields.
Term
Swathing (dry pea)
Definition
A method of harvesting dry peas. Occurs when most pods have turned yellow, or when moisture reaches 25% - 30%. Swathers are often equipped with vine lifters that allow the cutting knife to access the base of the stem. Early morning/late afternoon swathing reduces shattering losses because pods are tougher. Combining should occur soon after swathing to preserve quality and ensure the swath is not moved or damaged by wind. Delay combining if green weeds are swathed.
