Field Days are our favourite! 🌱
Thanks to Lakeland College for hosting another great day of learning, conversation and connection.
Keith Gabert, Provincial Agronomist with Alberta Canola, shared timely updates on blackleg at a blackleg nursery near Vermilion.
To help accommodate busy schedules, Lakeland College offered three sessions throughout the day.
A big thank you to the Crop team and Cheryl Westman, Region 10 Director with Alberta Canola, for bringing everyone together.
Great people, conversations and plenty of learning.

Now’s the time to #scout diseases in #canola. Clean looking white stems inside with green exterior is the hoped for outcome from scouting! Look for #blackeg, #clubroot, sclerotinia, or verticillium stripe on the same field visit this fall. #nothingbeatsbootsinthefield

Scouting #canola for #blackleg. Check #canolawatch and the Canola Council of Canada’s website for more information on this disease or any agronomic question you may have. Get out and scout.

Keep your canola ready for market. Ensure any bins intended for #canola storage remain malathion-free. Malathion residues can transfer to canola and put your crop's marketability at risk.

Cleaning to remove soil and plant debris & then disinfecting is the first step in sanitization to prevent the spread of clubroot. Bleach, at concentrations above 1.7%, will kill nearly 100% of the resting spores.

Early weed control is economically important, but also helps ensure soil moisture is getting to the #canola crop instead of weeds.
