Frost in your forecast for tonight? We’d like to know how it affects your canola plants. Can you mark a healthy plant or two tonight, check it tomorrow after the frost (I’m hoping for no frost) and again the next day? Please let us know what you observe. Thank you!

Pin flags, golf tees, painted washers around the plant. Mark some plants and be patient. canolacouncil.org/canola-watch/f…

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

Looking at an R rated cultivar with high levels of blackleg today. Before and after cut stem photos. Unfortunately resistance is not working in this field for this race of blackleg. Encourage canola growers to cut stems to measure yield loss with this: canolacouncil.org/calculator/bla…

Are you losing yield due to canola diseases? Here's my attempt at making a how-to blackleg rating video. Special thanks to Breanna Breanna Miller for the editing. #westcdnag #canola #blackleg
