Scouting for sclerotinia stem rot and blackleg of canola 2021

Heat and drought have been a significant challenge for
Prairie canola producers.  However, there may be
localized areas that have had more moisture and potential disease issues.  End-of-season scouting can be useful to a
keep on top of issues from summer 2021 and to assess fungicide response or lack thereof.  This information can also be used as part of your crop planning exercises for 2022 and beyond.


Here is updated information regarding identification and scouting for both sclerotinia and blackleg of canola.
