With recent indication of aphids starting to building in some canola acres in southern Oklahoma, it is important to not only when and how to manage these pests but what are our chemical options. An updated list of these can be found at:

It is not clear if these pests will continue to build or even move into more canola growing areas of the state; however, growers need to make sure to start scouting fields to not let these pests build this early during the green-up and spring develop. As always, if you are mixing insecticides and herbicides/fertilizers when making these application, check the labels for detailed mixing restrictions and instructions.
