The map shows positive clubroot findings by RMs, which have been highlighted to show the highest concentration of spores. This does not mean all fields in the RM have these concentrations. As spore concentrations can be highly variable within a field, the RM classification indicates only the maximum concentration found in any field in the RM. Further explanation on the concentration categories are as follows: RED = Symptoms observed: Clubroot symptoms have been observed in fields in this RM. Management to prevent continued buildup or spread of this pest should be implemented. ORANGE = 10,001 to 80,000 spores/gram soil: Spores have been found in fields in this RM at concentrations approaching levels known to cause field symptoms. Without management, concentrations may increase to where symptoms are visible. YELLOW = 1,001 to 10,000 spores/gram soil: Clubroot spores have been found in this RM at low to intermediate levels. With proper management, spore concentrations can decline. GREEN = zero to 1,000 spores/gram soil: Clubroot spores have not been detected, or detected at very low levels. At this concentration, clubroot is not a major concern, but fields should be monitored. Retesting is recommended within the next five years. It is generally reported that 100,000 spores/gram of soil are required to see symptoms under field conditions, but symptoms can still appear under favourable conditions. As less than 10 per cent of farms in Manitoba have been sampled, it is recommended that all fields be tested, regardless of RM classification.

Eight new clubroot cases found in Manitoba canola this year

Manitoba Agriculture wants to hear from farmers who suspect clubroot in their fields

By
Eight new cases of full-blown clubroot have been found in Manitoba canola fields so far this year but there are likely more. So farmers should be scouting and reporting suspected infections to Manitoba Agriculture, says Manitoba Agriculture pathologist Holly Derksen. “I would definitely say we don’t need to panic,” one of the farmers who discovered
Changing moisture conditions at flower had farmers hunting for answers on whether to spray for sclerotinia, or leave the fungicide alone.

Changing weather alters sclerotinia strategies

Farmers were waffling over fungicide as canola broke into flower, 
but moisture conditions added a further question mark

By
Whether to spray for sclerotinia is always a challenging choice, but this year was harder than usual. Dry soil gave little room for the disease to germinate early in the year through much of Manitoba, leaving producers to wonder if a spray pass was worth the expense, says Angela Brackenreed, of the Canola Council of

Crude oil and canola part company, for now

By ,
CNS Canada — The symbiotic relationship that crude oil and canola used to enjoy seems to have hit a snag. Chart structures have proven that crude prices have pushed and pulled canola up and down in recent years. However, since the start of 2018, the gains enjoyed by crude oil have failed to lift canola.

Sclerotinia a moving target this season

Canadian canola area likely above earlier projection

By ,
CNS Canada — Canadian farmers likely seeded more canola in 2018 than initial expectations, but industry participants generally expect to see only minor adjustments when Statistics Canada releases its latest acreage estimates on Friday. “Our idea is that the canola seeded area number is higher than initially reported,” said Jon Driedger of FarmLink Marketing Solutions.

Canola bounces back from sell-off in U.S. soybeans

Fallout from the GM wheat finding remains to be seen

Ag balance sheet points to stable farm economy

Canola crush margins deteriorate
