Canola growers can access an updated, step-by-step guide to help them reduce or prevent yield losses from blackleg disease this year.
The Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) 2014 Blackleg Management Guide Fact Sheet is available at www.grdc.com.au/GRDC-FS-BlacklegManagementGuide.
Developed by the GRDC in conjunction with Steve Marcroft of Marcroft Grains Pathology, it can help growers determine if they are in a high-risk situation and what practices they can change to reduce the risks.
The fact sheet outlines steps to help growers manage blackleg including:
- Determining your farm’s blackleg risk;
- Determining each crop’s blackleg severity;
- Management practices to reduce the risk of blackleg infection;
- Blackleg resistance groups.
