ECODA project number: Oilseeds East Activity 13 Objectives: The proposed activity will contribute to the development of effective integrated pest management practices for swede midge in canola through the following specific objectives: To evaluate the effects of the timing of
ECODA project number: Oilseeds East Activity 12 Objectives: The overall objective is to develop integrated pest management strategies against flea beetle, pollen beetle and cabbage seedpod weevil (CSW) in Eastern Canada. Specific objectives are to: evaluate the influence of seeding
ECODA project number: Oilseeds East Activity 11 Objectives: To evaluate fungicides, biological agents, marine bioproducts and combination treatments for the control of Sclerotinia stem rot and black leg of canola in eastern Canada. This activity will lead to development of
ECODA project number: Oilseeds East Activity 10 Objective: To study the effect of crop rotation, nutrient management, planting date and plant density on the incidence and severity of stem rot and black leg of canola. This research is underway, so the research
ECODA project number: Oilseeds East Activity 15 Objectives: To determine, in a series of field trials, how reduced plant populations affect physiological responses of spring canola to abiotic stresses – primarily heat stress and water stress – in the Ontario
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
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
Categories: Canola; Oil Quality; Fertility; Agronomy ECODA project number: B.2.5, B.2.6 and B.2.7 Principal investigator: Hugh J. Earl Executive Summary Elevated levels of free fatty acids (FFAs) in the seed has historically been the most important quality defect threatening marketability of
ECODA project number: B.2.4 Principal investigator: K. Peter Pauls Executive summary The presence of green seed in canola at harvest is unwanted, because chlorophyll in the oil is undesirable from a consumer’s perspective and leads to rancidity in the oil.
Categories: Canola; Agronomy; Oil Quality ECODA project number: B.2.2 and B.2.3 Principal investigator: Balakrishnan Prithiviraj Executive summary Marine bio-products have been known to induce plant responses such as altered fatty acid biosynthesis, induce plant defense to pathogens, improve crop growth under
