what the canola industry has learned from the clubroot situation

[Tom4Wildrose]

What about the Army tracking clubroot between Namao and.... the list can go on for ever!!!

The biggest spread of weed seeds is by gravel/dirt/clay/fill and construction equipment spreading them everywhere.

Since
the triffid gm event got into all our existing breeder seed...without human help... (wink wink nudge nudge) its obvious the clubroot spore is everywhere already.

Why is this such a big deal when Europe has been dealing with this for half a century?

Shaney you have a lot of common sense so I like all your posts. Anyone got any insight or seen any studies on cutworms in Canola? I have a thinking that a lot of the cut worm problems that we have in our area are the result of growing glyphosate tollerant canola. as when one grows wheat or any other crop or summerfallow the next year and desicate with glyphosate the glyphosate tollerant volunteer canola does not need much leaves a food sourse for the cutworms in the fall. Causing a cutworm problem.

Tom don't get us started on your certified seed. Especially when we can still remember cleavers in our certified canola seed.

Rats in Alberta! Finally found an Alberta farmer honest enough to admit he has seen one.

Hopper with cutworms how about the bs no more
lindane seed treatment for canola. Worked to stop
bugs for years.

don't know about your seed Tom but we can remember cleavers in our canola seed.

The thing to keep in mind is that in a breeding facility every inch of the ground is walked over and plants are carefully looked at. In sask there are probably hundreds of places clubroot is, just not confirmed. This disease is in western Canada. Maybe stop growing a rotation of Liberty Canola RR Canola Liberty Canola RR Canola Liberty Canola RR Canola wheat then canola again.

You got to be either naive or stupid to think clubroot isn't in farmland in sask.

Your right wd, as well clubroot was confirmed a while ago in Western Sask - source, probably oil patch. So it was already here. But it does not help that was in canola research plots. Not surprised though, those plots get monitored alot.

Way down the list of threads/likely will be ignored but here is the link to a Cargill press release.
