Time to test all Man. fields for clubroot, province says

Distribution of clubroot spores across Manitoba now suggests it’s time for more widespread testing to keep the disease in check, the provincial ag department recommends. Since the disease appeared in Manitoba in 2009, fewer than five per cent of the province’s farms have so far been tested for the spores that cause the yield-robbing disease

Clubroot resistance collapses for canola in Alberta

Be proactive about prevention

By Allan Dawson May 14, 2015

The discovery that clubroot races uncontrolled by resistant canola varieties are widespread in Alberta underscores how important it is for Manitoba to nip this potentially devastating disease in the bud. “Genetically resistant varieties are not going to work long term,” said Anastasia Kubinec, Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Development’s oilseed specialist in reaction to the

Canola program stacks genes against new clubroot

By Dave Bedard, GFM Network News May 13, 2015

Rather than send out a canola variety with a single source of resistance against clubroot — especially the disease’s most recent pathotype — Agrium’s CPS division has stacked several sources into the new hybrids it’s sending for testing this summer. Crop Production Services on Monday announced its “next generation” of Argentine canola hybrids shows “high

Clubroots beating all resistant canolas across Alta.

A study of 27 canola fields across Alberta has found 16 infected with clubroot pathotypes able to cause “high levels” of the disease — in canola plants with clubroot-resistant genetics. What’s more, the clubroot pathogen isolated from “many” of the infected fields in the study was virulent on all clubroot-resistant canola cultivars, the Canola Council of Canada

Systematic survey aims to track clubroot in Manitoba before it gets out of hand

Farmers in untested areas can inquire about getting their land test for free

Some Manitoba fields are infected with clubroot, a serious canola disease, but how many and where? To find out one soil sample is being collected from each of the province’s 900 or so agro-townships, Anastasia Kubinec, Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Development’s (MAFRD) oilseed specialist, said in an interview April 23.

Against clubroot, ‘I’-rated canola sits between ‘R’ and ‘S’

A new canola variety billed with “intermediate” reaction against a new pathotype of clubroot is being placed in the zone between “resistant” and “susceptible.” Canterra Seeds, the Winnipeg firm marketing the new CS2000 hybrid variety, clarified its claim for the seed in a statement on a company blog Wednesday, granting many growers may be seeing the

Canola variety’s clubroot claim taken with caution

By GFM Network News, Manitoba Co-operator Staff February 2, 2015

A new variety of canola with “intermediate” resistance to a new type of clubroot may be cause for optimism, but Alberta’s canola grower group says farmers need to know more before they buy. The Alberta Canola Producers Commission (ACPC) warned Monday that growers will need more specifics about claims that a new canola variety has

Manitoba canola pest lab backed for equipment, research

By GFM Network News, Manitoba Co-operator Staff January 30, 2015

A new Manitoba lab with federal, provincial and canola industry backing has been opened with the goal of staying a step ahead of canola diseases such as clubroot and verticillium wilt. The federal and Manitoba governments on Thursday announced $969,000 for equipment, including a polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) machine, and $250,000 for research at the

Where it came from isn’t as important as how it will be contained when it comes to verticillium wilt in canola

By Reuters, Shannon VanRaes January 15, 2015

Manitoba prides itself on welcoming newcomers, but the canola sector won’t be rolling out the welcome mat for this one — verticillium longisporum. The disease was discovered in a Manitoba canola field late last fall and visually identified at Manitoba Agriculture’s Crop Diagnostic Centre. That determination was later confirmed by molecular analysis at the National

Clubroot has been detected in 13 Manitoba fields since 2009, but all have been mild infections, says Anastasia Kubinec, oilseed specialist with Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Development (MAFRD). “What we’re finding in Manitoba right now is clubroot at very low levels,” Kubinec told the Westman Crop Talk webinar Aug. 20.
