Send samples to the Saskatchewan Clubroot Survey

SaskCanola encourages farmers to contribute soil samples to the Saskatchewan Clubroot Survey.

SaskCanola had some valuable conversations in the field last week with farmers out at Ag in Motion about crop rotation and clubroot. SaskCanola has invested $170,000 to test soil samples for the presence of the clubroot pathogen across the province. Read the full news release here.

Farmers who invest in SaskCanola can submit a voluntary sample from their field for complimentary testing. If you missed visiting the booth to pick up a clubroot soil sample survey kit, please contact SaskCanola at 306-975-0262 or info@saskcanola.com and we will send you a kit in the mail. Kits are also available for pick up from any Ministry of Agriculture Regional Office.

If you are hosting an upcoming field day in Saskatchewan and would like a SaskCanola representative to attend to talk about clubroot and the provincial survey, please contact SaskCanola at 306-975-0262 or info@saskcanola.com.
