Thistle Blow Your Mind
Canada Thistle is the
#1 weed targeted by farmers in Western Canada.
For years, scientists and farmers have tried to find a way to stop the spread. Here’s why:
- Canada Thistle root systems can grow into the ground up to 10ft deep!
- Their lateral roots can grow up to 20ft long
- Up to 5,000 seeds can come from just one emerged plant
- Those seeds can germinate even 20 years later. TWENTY years!

Crop Loss:
Farmers have recorded up to
70% crop loss
in one year because of this nasty invasive weed. And tillage only makes it worse!
With a translocating herbicide, that’s what. Translocating herbicides go deep into the root systems, targeting where the plant spreads fastest from. With the right combinations of active ingredients, herbicides can reduce the amount of Canada Thistle by 73% the following year!
