The most common way to transfer soil from field to field is on farm machinery and vehicle tires. The CCC has a new guide with tips to clean equipment and prevent clubroot's spread. The following article is a short summary of the guide… -
December 13, 2011 — Comparative data on canola seed varieties is now available to growers from the new Canola Performance Trials (CPT) 2011. The CPT 2011 represents the next…… -
Crop planning. Recognize the value of diversity. The more growers do to vary their practices — including rotation of crops, pest control products, and varieties — the harder it will…… -
A recent Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada study found that growing peas and, to a lesser degree, lentils the year prior to canola can enhance canola yield. Canola on canola stubble will generally have lower yields than canola on other stubble… -
Lack of crop diversity can increase the density of pests in a field. The higher the population of a pest in a field, the higher the risk of developing resistance to the pesticides (herbicide, fungicides or insecticides) used for controlling the pest in those fields…

Blackleg resistance is starting to show cracks in some areas where tight canola rotations have become normal practice. This is a reminder that the long-term viability of genetic resistance does require some rotation management on the growers’ part. This may be particularly true for clubroot resistant canola varieties, which have become a key clubroot management tool for growers with heavy… -
New research shows a statistically significant increase in crop damage by root maggots in continuous canola rotations. This increased damage coincided with reduced yields…
