To develop integrated pest management strategies for insect pests of canola in Eastern Canada
ECODA project number: B.4 Principal investigator: Geneviève Labrie Executive summary Insect pests can cause serious damage to crops and significantly reduce yield. The insect species attacking canola in Eastern Canada are not as well documented as in Western Canada. New
Integrated management of stem rot (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) of canola in Eastern Canada including ON, QC, NB, NS and PEI
Categories: Canola; Diseases ECODA project number: B.3 Principal investigator: Balakrishnan Prithiviraj Executive Summary In this project over one hundred canola genotypes were screened for stem rot resistance. However, the screening was not fruitful due to low incidence of stem rot
