(Rural Roots Canada) – The 2025 edition of the Alberta Blue Book has arrived.

For over 20 years, the Blue Book has been a trusted resource of farmers and agronomists, helping them make decisions during the growing season.

The book, which is collaboratively produced by Alberta Canola, Alberta Grains and Alberta Pulse Growers, has over 700 pages of valuable crop protection information.

Project coordinator Craig Lester says the book is reviewed annually to include the latest information on pesticide application products, including beneficial insects, and safety information.

“We know that farmers and agronomists rely on this book throughout the growing season to provide them with reliable crop protection information to help make decisions, which is why a lot of hours are put into the production of this book,” says Lester.

“The Blue Book complements the chemical label to give farmers the information they need to make the right choice of chemistry to provide protection from pests without risking profit.”
