Blackleg Threat Shrinks Canola Yields In Hamiota Region
Agricultural notes describe Blackleg disease spreading across the Hamiota Shoal Lake region since the 1980s, with 10 to 50 percent yield reductions in 1990. Varietal tolerance shows Global and Legend among top performers, while yellow mustard shows no tolerance. Recommendations include disease-free seed, seed treatment, four-year rotations, avoiding last year’s field, and burying residue.
