Blackleg in canola locations
Aims

To assess the effect of blackleg on canola crops and varieties in the South East of SA.

Key messages
  • Blackleg internal infection was found in many varieties including some varieties that had higher levels than would be expected.
  • Due to the good winter and spring, the level of yield loss at a certain level of internal infection was much lower than measured in 2008.
  • Farmers need to cut canola stems at windrowing time to assess the level of blackleg.
