Guidance on crop protection product use

Canada’s agriculture sector depends heavily on international markets, with up to 90 per cent of canola, more than 80 per cent of wheat, barley and oats, and 85 per cent of pulses exported each year.  

To help protect those markets, the Keep it Clean program has released its 2026 Product Advisory for growers and crop advisors to learn about potential market risks tied to the use of some crop protection products on certain crops.  

The annual advisory provides insight into product and crop combinations that could pose market access risks, helping growers make informed decisions and protect the marketability of their crops.  

Cereals Canada Director of Crop Protection and Production Krista Zuzak said it’s important information as the requirements in export markets, like maximum residue limits, can change from year to year.
